Lockdown looks
ACCUSTOMED to constant travelling and instagramming from the four corners of the globe, the world’s leading fashion icons have taken a break from posting their usual trove of scintillating snaps.
Instead, they are eager to divert and entertain with inspiring images of living under lockdown.
Gone are the glamorous gowns and extravagant finery they so often bring to social networks. These have been replaced by more accessible outfits that offer a host of ideas for at-home chic.
From such fashion luminaries as Sara Sampaio, Emily Didonato and Olivia Palermo, here are some looks that show how to stay in like an influencer and rest up like a runway star.
Au naturel like Sara Sampaio
The Portuguese model and New York resident, who has complied with Governor Cuomo’s order to stay at home, is taking advantage of an opportunity to spend more time with her faithful companion. While the world battles with the virus, the young woman has set aside her evening dresses and stilettos for a simple pair of jeans and a velvety forest-green sweater.
Elegant in pyjamas like Emily Didonato
Staying in like her colleagues, the American catwalk star has found “the” outfit that many of us would like to wear for an everyday stroll: a simple pair of pyjamas. But it goes without saying, the look has little to do with the shapeless cartoon-print nightwear that many of us have in our closets, these are deep blue satin pyjamas which have been carefully selected to set off the captivating colour of Didonato’s eyes.
Refined like Olivia Palermo
‘Yes’ to quarantine, but not in any old outfit! This appears to be the message in the latest snaps from influencer, designer and model Olivia Palermo. The young woman has shared a photo in which she sports a silver-grey two piece with glossy white heels. An elegant combination that brings together chic and comfort at home.
Bohemian chic like Sofia Richie
The American top model is complying with the public order to stay home, but there is no question of letting herself go. In her latest Instagram post, she strikes a pose in an immense study, wearing a satin print pantsuit with her hair done up in a chignon. The look is enlivened by the addition of sizable jewels. Is this a strategy to forget “quarantine”?
