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: The PVC shoe trend is still going strong—and designers aren't afraid to give the glass slipper look an edgy spin. Here, Chrissy's Alexander Wang slingbacks boast a cool strappy silhouette and ultra-thin stilettos for a sultry effect.
On Chrissy Teigen: Alexander Wang Zip Detail Pajama Dress ($895) and Kaia PVC Sandals ($595)
Style Notes: Whether it's for a wedding, a party, or a date, a well-considered cocktail dress can take you through a range of occasions in style. Chrissy's exact piece by Self-Portrait is still available to shop (for now).
On Chrissy Teigen: Self-Portrait Guipere Lace and Pleated Crepe Midi Dress ($380); Lele Sadoughi Telescope Earrings ($230)
Style Notes: Our eyes are always peeled for date-night looks, and bonus points if they're rendered in ravishing red. A slip dress paired with a tonal blazer is a modern yet night-out-ready way to rock V-Day's signature color.
On Chrissy Teigen: Styland blazer; Haney Felicia Dress ($1600); Gianvito Rossi Leather Plexi Heels ($845)
Style Notes: The rich neutral hue has an uncanny way of making any outfit look more expensive. Wearing a robe coat and sleek tote rendered in the sophisticated hue is a surefire way to elevate an everyday ensemble.
On Chrissy Teigen: Céline bag; Saint Laurent boots
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.
On Chrissy Teigen: Balenciaga boots
Style Notes: Combat boots are having a major moment this season, thanks in part to Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen's ultra-chic take on the style for The Row. Styled with sleek leather leggings and a black blazer, the look oozes sophistication with an edge.
On Chrissy Teigen: Bevza jacket; The Row pants and Fara Leather Combat Boots ($1390); Tomasini Rosie Bag ($1271); Victoria Beckham Classic Victoria Sunglasses ($425)
Style Notes: Fall's sleek coats are made date night–appropriate by employing one key styling trick. Belt it at the waist with a wide cincher, which creates a sultry, deep-V neckline.
On Chrissy Teigen: Zimmermann Rife Wrap Trench ($1600); Prada Cahier Velvet & Leather Shoulder Bag ($2710); Jimmy Choo shoes
Style Notes: Cargo-inspired trousers are cementing their status as a venerable skinny-jean alternative among the style set. Worn with a slouchy sweater and heeled booties, it builds a look that's equal parts polished yet casual.
On Chrissy Teigen: Victoria Beckham Classic Victoria Sunglasses ($425); Monse Twill Cargo Pants ($1190)
Style Notes: The denim-on-denim look is not for the faint of fashion heart, but that doesn't mean it has to be overly complicated. Chrissy tackled hers with a printed T-shirt (a very chic one at that), black booties, and gold-tone accessories.
On Chrissy Teigen: Gucci Coco Capitán Print Cotton T-Shirt ($550) and Leather Logo Belt ($420); Alexander Wang jacket; Re/Done jeans; Balenciaga Knife Booties ($995); Saint Laurent sunglasses
Style Notes: A neutral color palette makes it easy to put together a straightforward yet sharp airport look. A slim knit top, utility jacket, and ripped denim are ultra cool styled with sleek black accessories.
On Chrissy Teigen: Saint Laurent sunglasses; Off-White Cropped Knit Top ($646); Faith Connexion jacket; Frame Le Color Rip Jeans ($199); Balenciaga Knife Booties ($995); Chanel bag
Style Notes: Chrissy repurposed a timeless white button-down for evening by simply tying it at her natural waist. Skinny pants and strappy heels make it a sleek yet sexy option for date night.
On Chrissy Teigen: A.L.C. On Duty Lyle White Poplin Tie Side Shirt ($298) and Zander Army Zip Front Pants ($368)
Style Notes: This versatile pattern works year-round. Wear in spring and summer with strappy sandals and sunnies à la Chrissy, and come winter and fall, sub in tights, boots, and a sleek overcoat.
On Chrissy Teigen: Isabel Marant Iam Dress ($1335); Gucci GG Marmont Matelassé Shoulder Bag ($2300)
