Pamela Anderson and Elsa Hosk Just Wore the '90s Tights-and-Shoe Pairing That Always Looks Chic

If there are two celebrities whose style I’d happily take inspiration from, it has to be Pamela Anderson and Elsa Hosk. While they move in different circles, both have an undeniable knack for curating sleek, elegant outfits and filling their wardrobes with enviable, timeless pieces.
Though their personal styles differ in key ways, whenever I spot a crossover between them, I know I’ve stumbled upon something special. And this week, that moment arrived in the form of a chic, cold-weather pairing that I’ll always have a soft spot for—simple black tights styled with sleek court shoes.
Channelling ‘90s-inspired elegance, Anderson embraced the look with another decade-defining staple—a silky skirt. Adding a relaxed twist, she layered on a chunky knit, striking that balance between classy and effortless. Sticking to a a palette of green tones, the look felt directional thanks to its colour choice but also very considered due to how she styled it.
Hosk, on the other hand, leaned into her signature polished aesthetic. She styled her tights with square-toe pointed heels, adding a refined edge to her look. Her outfit followed a considered, minimalist approach—a knitted cardigan paired with a matching mini skirt, accessorised with a black handbag, chocolate-brown leather gloves and deep inky sunglasses. The result? A masterclass in modern, pared-back sophistication.
A staple of every fashion person’s wardrobe throughout the ‘90s, this timeless tights-and-heels combo is long overdue for a comeback. And with Pamela Anderson and Elsa Hosk already leading the charge, it’s only a matter of time before we see it everywhere, including Fashion Month.
