Showing off her growing baby bump, the cookbook author brought her signature style to the sidewalk in a sculptural, chocolate-brown ensemble by Rick Owens, the American designer celebrated for his avant-garde, minimalist aesthetic.

Chrissy wore the designer’s “Jade” crop top—an off-the-shoulder, long-sleeved piece cut from form-fitting stretch jersey. True to Owens’ dramatic yet refined approach to silhouette, the top features a twist-front drape and ruched detailing that added movement and structure.

Founded in 1994, Rick Owens’ label is known for blending gothic glamour and grunge—an edgy sensibility that aligned perfectly with Chrissy’s elevated maternity style.

Controversy Brews: Chrissy Teigen Faces Packaging Design Allegations

Just a few days after launching her new baking mixes, Chrissy Teigen was accused of copying design ideas for the packaging of her new products.

Jordan Rondel, owner of the New Zealand bakery and cake shop The Caker, claimed in an Instagram post that Chrissy’s Cravings copied the packaging of The Caker’s cake mixes.

“Sooo this has happened. Chrissy Teigen released her own line of elevated baking mixes (pictured here alongside mine) right after we collaborated on a cake mix together. I’ve taken a week to try to process everything and could say a lot more here, but i just want to acknowledge the support from everyone who has messaged me or commented online to stick up for The Caker.”

She added that she has “no issue with anyone releasing baking mixes, but I think you guys are right that this particular situation isn’t chill, especially because we’re just a small sister run business.”

The accusation came just several weeks after the two collaborated to create a Spiced Carrot with Salted Caramel cake mix.

Jordan told Daily Mail that Chrissy reached out to her about the collaboration, saying, “Chrissy herself was the initial contact who reached out to me on Instagram, she was super lovely and immediately contacted me with her team.”

In her post, Rondel said that “Chrissy was actually lovely to work with” and that she doesn’t want the issue to “turn into a dramatic witch hunt.”

Cravings Responds to Copycat Claims Over Chrissy Teigen’s Packaging

Following The Caker’s claims, a Cravings representative addressed the issue in a statement to DailyMail.

Strongly denying the accusations, the spokesperson said: “We absolutely did not copy their packaging.”

“Images posted on social media by The Caker team compared the front of our box and the back of their own. The front of their packaging is different from the photographic approach we took, with their design tending to be a solid, bold color, which is actually a sleeve rather than the traditional box style we have used.”

The rep also said that they are “proud of the now sold-out Cravings x The Caker Spiced Carrot Cake Kit with Salted Caramel” but “it’s disheartening and surprising to see The Caker’s recent social posts and commentary regarding our products.”

The spokesperson also shared that The Caker was aware of Cravings’ plans to release its own baking mixes.

“In May 2022, The Caker team was made fully aware that Cravings would be launching a line of baking mixes in the Fall following our one-off collaboration.”

“The Caker chose to move forward with the carrot cake collaboration, and out of respect for the partnership, Cravings held off on producing a cake mix and launched banana bread, pancake, and cookie mixes on October 20th.”
