Anchored by understated sneakers and earthy layers, the look marked a shift toward quiet, wearable polish—without losing her signature edge.

While shopping with her sister, Bella, she paired her high-contrast hair with a grounded, earth-tone ensemble.
The look was built around a white tank top and high-waisted, tapered khaki pants, topped with an unbuttoned tan shirt and a cream-colored embroidered vest from Isabel Marant’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection.
One of the world’s richest models, Gigi kept a low profile and hid her eyes behind a pair of Dmy by Dmy Valentina sunglasses. She also stepped out bare-faced and without any jewelry.

Keeping her outfit coordinated, the mom-of-one slung a white Prada Etiquette bag over her shoulder and slipped into a pair of Reebok x Victoria Beckham Dual Court sneakers.
Available at Farfetch, these shoes draw inspiration from retro basketball and tennis shoes.
