A definitive example of this signature style occurred in November 2017 at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Stepping out in a look that remains a reference point for “model-off-duty” fashion, Teigen showcased a pair of Yeezy Season 5 boots that bridged the gap between streetwear and luxury.
To maintain a timeless feel, she paired a monochromatic black base—featuring rolled cuffs to highlight the footwear architecture—with an Alice + Olivia glen-plaid overcoat and classic Saint Laurent sunglasses.

Chrissy also carried a black suede weekend bag and her Givenchy micro “Nightingale” leather bag. Tousled waves, minimal makeup, and Svelte Metals hoop earrings provided the finishing touches to her look.
Her $895 sock boots from Yeezy feature stretch knit uppers, a lace-up style, pointed toes, and leather soles. They were first unveiled in February 2017, along with other highly coveted pieces from the collection, during New York Fashion Week.
