Looking for ideas to knit to wear to a gala

I am attending a gala fundraiser for an LGBTQ organization in October (northern U.S., so mid-fall). What fabulous thing should I knit? I’m thinking something like a stole, fancy poncho, or loose-fitting sheer pullover or cardigan.

Intermediate/intermediate-advanced knitter. I am comfortable with lace, cables, and brioche. I can do stranded colorwork but don’t love the process. I’ve never tried beaded knitting. I am not super fast, so if it’s too complex I won’t have time to finish. Natural fibers only, but I’m open to adding sparkle.

What have you got? Ready to dazzle.

Edit to add: I am happy to knit with mohair but cannot wear it and keep my sanity. I forgot it even existed.
