While out in West Hollywood on August 4, 2020, Chrissy Teigen turned a casual pizza run into a surprisingly polished street-style moment.
After stopping by the future headquarters for her Cravings brand, she picked up several boxes from Pizzana and handed slices out to photographers waiting outside.

The outing balanced relaxed California dressing with sharp footwear styling.
Chrissy wore a flowing printed Etro maxi dress with a dramatic thigh-high slit, pairing the soft bohemian silhouette with suede Saint Laurent “Niki” boots that added structure and height to the look.

The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model was accompanied by her Thai mom, Vilailuck, on the afternoon trip.
Before handing out slices of pizza to the paps, they dropped by Chrissy’s new headquarters for her cooking website, Cravings by Chrissy Teigen, which launched in November 2019.

The television personality accessorized her daytime-chic look with Jennifer Fisher Square Thread hoop earrings. She also wore a black face mask and carried a black Givenchy mini Mystic bag.
Introduced in the spring 2020 collection, the Mini-Mystic bag is a scaled-down version of Givenchy’s iconic handbag. The Lip Sync Battle co-host simply wore her long, highlighted hair down in loose waves and kept a natural-makeup look.
Chrissy grounded the fluid Etro maxi dress with a pair of Saint Laurent “Niki” boots, one of Anthony Vaccarello’s most recognizable footwear designs for the house. Introduced on the Fall 2017 runway, the slouchy suede boots became closely associated with Saint Laurent’s sharper, rock-inspired direction at the time.
Defined by their pointed toe, relaxed shaft, and sculptural cone heel, the “Niki” boots balance drama with practicality better than many of the brand’s more extreme runway styles. The wider triangular heel provides more stability than a classic stiletto, while the soft suede construction creates an intentionally undone slouch that made the silhouette stand out in late-2010s fashion.

Chrissy’s tan suede version added texture and structure beneath the flowing floral gown, preventing the look from feeling overly soft or bohemian. The contrast between the airy silk fabric and the sharp, elongated boot shape also helped emphasize the dress’s thigh-high slit without relying on barely-there sandals.
While the over-the-knee “Niki” became the most photographed version of the style, especially on stars like Rihanna and Cardi B, the suede editions remain some of the most wearable. Fashion collectors still gravitate toward the design for its mix of height, comfort, and distinctly Saint Laurent attitude.

Why Saint Laurent’s “Niki” Boots Still Define Chrissy Teigen’s Off-Duty Glamour
Chrissy’s Etro gown made the look feel relaxed and romantic, but the Saint Laurent “Niki” boots gave it shape.
With their slouchy suede shaft, pointed toe, and sculptural cone heel, they turned a casual West Hollywood outing into a sharper fashion moment—and connect this look to a wider history of celebrity “Niki” boot styling.
