Chrissy Teigen proved that even loungewear can make for a glamorous date night outfit when she stepped out with husband John Legend in Los Angeles earlier this week. The model and cookbook author embraced effortless chic in a pair of Old Navy pajama pants and an oversized coat from the brand, showing her knack for high-low style mixing.
Teigen’s choice of a classic black and white buffalo check print on the leggings added preppy polish. She kept the waistband of the pants mostly covered by a crisp white blouse tucked in at the front, letting the shirt tails flow out behind for a relaxed silhouette. A swipe of vibrant red lipstick matched her cherry-hued pedicure peeking out from open-toe booties. Statement dome earrings and a quilted blue bag completed the fashionable look.
Meanwhile, EGOT winner Legend played the perfect counterpart in a sharp black suit and white dress shirt. The coordination of Teigen’s monochromatic moment with Legend’s traditional tuxedo made for an impactful contrast. Though Teigen’s outfit may have started out as loungewear, her knack for clever styling brought it to glamorous new heights.
This isn’t the first time Teigen has proven her strength as a style icon, even when donning laidback pieces. The former model has never been afraid to take fashion risks, like pairing bike shorts with blazers long before the athleisure trend took hold. She has repeatedly shown a talent for infusing personality and polish into off-duty wear.
Teigen’s effortless ensemble comes on the heels of a showstopping red carpet display over the weekend. She and Legend made a striking pair at the Academy Museum Gala, with Teigen in a nude-illusion Tony Ward gown and Legend sharply turned out in black tie. Though Teigen can clearly command the carpet when duty calls, she seems equally comfortable keeping things casual for date night.
The peek into Teigen’s enviable off-duty style comes shortly after the announcement that she and Legend have welcomed a new baby boy. Little Wren Alexander joined their family in early June via surrogate. Teigen had shared her longtime dream of having four children and her struggles to conceive again following a pregnancy loss in 2020.
Though expanding their family surely keeps the couple busy, Teigen and Legend are clearly making time for glamour and romance. Teigen’s ability to elevate any outfit shows her commitment to bringing creativity and flair to every occasion. With a baby boy joining daughter Luna and son Miles, we can count on seeing even more of the model’s mommy-chic style. For this fashion icon mom, every day is a runway and a chance to have fun with fashion.
