1. Marker Test Color: Heidi Klum Brightens Pasadena in Christopher John Rogers and Crisp White Pumps
On Friday, Heidi Klum showcased her unique sense of style when she stepped out in an artsy outfit by rising designer Christopher John Rogers, dubbed the new “king of color.”
The Making the Cut host wore a lightweight, loose-fitting georgette shirt and its matching belted wide-leg pants.
Aptly named the “Marker Test,” the ensemble boasts vibrant scribbles in various shades, showcasing the American designer’s signature use of bright colors and bold prints.
