Chrissy Teigen's Best Style Moments

We can always count on Chrissy Teigen to step out with her best foot forward. Her off-duty look is impeccably put-together, showcasing a heavy rotation of designers we adore. While we've rarely seen her reuse a piece—and can only imagine the square footage of her covetable closet—she does follow a formula when it comes to her style.

Teigen's off-duty outfit formula is a combination of her signature fail-safe pieces, like a cutout or shoulder-baring top with skinny jeans. When it comes to Teigen's evening style, she opts for leg-lengthening numbers like minidresses and high-waisted trousers. For footwear, you'll rarely see the model wearing sneakers or flats, as she typically goes for simple two-strap heels or heeled over-the-knee boots. See below for our favorite Chrissy Teigen style moments.

Style Notes: Chrissy Teigen has always had her maternity style on lock. Stepping out in New York, she wore a classic black coat thrown over her shoulders, a pretty plunging dress, and her signature "magical" touch: over-the-knee boots. The result is a polished, flirty look perfect for any expectant mom.
