A Birthday to Remember: Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Celebrate in Style
Chrissy Teigen proved she’s got style and sentimentality in spades as she celebrated husband John Legend’s 45th birthday this week. The power couple headed out for a glam date night in New York City to mark the occasion, with Teigen embracing one of the season’s hottest trends – the no-pants look.
Clad in a sheer blouse with velvet hot pants, the 37-year-old model and cookbook author exuded retro glamour. With her brunette locks styled in sensuous waves, she finished the look with fishnets, strappy heels, and a metallic box bag with playful tassels. Meanwhile, Legend kept it slick in an unbuttoned silk shirt, belted blazer, slim trousers, and boots.
The pair were the picture of chicness and intimacy as they held hands en route to dinner at Ralph Lauren’s elegant Polo Bar. And Teigen made sure to fête her husband in signature ebullient style, chanting “Go birthday boy!” while Legend sang and danced in the car. Her accompanying Instagram caption said it all: “my baby.”
Teigen’s tantalizing take on the no-pants trend has been embraced by celebrities and style icons from Anne Hathaway to Hailey Bieber this year. At the 2022 Met Gala, Kendall Jenner brought her own high-voltage spin, pairing an embellished bodysuit with towering platinum boots and nothing in between.
Leave it to model-turned-entrepreneur Teigen to prove that baring legs, donning mini shorts, or going pantless can be an alluring option when marked by elegant insouciance. Her date night look telegraphed subversive femininity and cheeky confidence with an added touch of wifely devotion.
Beyond celebrating on the town, Legend and Teigen’s birthday love fest continued online. The EGOT winner surprised talk show host Gayle King – who shares the same December 28th birthday – with a sweet serenade during her Oprah Daily show. King returned the favor with a Happy Birthday song for Legend.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are no strangers to public passion and grand romantic gestures. After devastating pregnancy complications and loss, the couple recommitted to each other this year in an intimate vow renewal ceremony.
Earlier this week, the Cravings author also dared to bare, sporting a cashmere bra and briefs underneath a leather trench on Christmas day. And Teigen is far from the first star to go for the no-pants look this year.
Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Hailey Bieber and Emma Corrin have rocked underwear as outerwear in 2023.
The pantsless look also swept BravoCon this year, with reality stars like Ariana Madix and Paige DeSorbo going with miniature bottoms at the event.
If Teigen’s glowing birthday-night style and Legend’s unrestrained dance moves are any indication, the revitalized pair is relishing their renewed connection. In fact, their Polo Bar dinner date conveys a larger message: that with supportive partnership and conscious togetherness, life’s Pain can give way to Joy – and Love can triumpH.
