Elsa Hosk revives iconic Versace heels and socks look
It’s a given that Elsa Hosk will deliver on the fashion front each and every time she steps out – no matter the occasion. Granting her eagle-eyed fashion followers yet another sartorial blessing, the former Victoria’s Secret model hit the streets of New York to debut a fresh new look, hailing from her eponymous label Helsa.
Sharing the images via Instagram on Sunday, the Swedish star opted for an all-grey aesthetic, complete with a longline, pristinely tailored button-down coat with a wool blend and a sculptural fit.
She paired the timeless layer with a light marl grey knitted dress, that fell just below her knees and offered up a sleek contrast to her structured outerwear garment. She wore her beachy blonde hair tied back in a low ponytail, allowing a dramatic side bang to glamorously frame her face.

Case in point? The Versace autumn/winter 1994 campaign, lensed by the iconic Richard Avedon, which was nothing short of a fashion revolution. With a constellation of supermodels including Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Claudia Schiffer, the imagery radiated unapologetic confidence and sensuality, topped with the famed socks and heels combo in addition to shimmering metallics and high neck knits.

Elsa completed her workwear-appropriate aesthetic with a pair of black wraparound sunglasses and a buttery black leather bag by none other than Hermès for a generous lick of luxury.
