Who says workwear can’t be stylish? For years, office attire was boxed into a category far removed from the flair of high fashion. However, the distinction between professional attire and statement-making style has become increasingly blurred. Case in point: Gigi Hadid’s striking appearance last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Hadid has embraced the growing 'out-of-office' trend, a movement that has made its way from the runway to real life. This aesthetic blends tailored classics—think crisp shirts, structured blazers, and sleek dress pants—with the kind of modern ease that reflects the realities of women balancing careers, personal lives, and everything in between. It’s a refined yet relaxed take on dressing that’s resonated with celebrities and style icons alike.
A Tailored Moment on Late Night
On Fallon’s stage, Hadid took a break from her signature vintage-cool looks (remember her recent low-rise denim moment?) and opted for a refined silhouette that channeled quiet sophistication. Styled by Elizabeth Sulcer, she wore a head-to-toe Tom Ford look from the Fall/Winter 2025 collection: a soft baby blue shirt neatly tucked into high-waisted black trousers.
In a clever twist on the classic color palette, Hadid added low-heeled Jimmy Choo pumps in the same icy hue as her shirt. Her jewelry—diamond accents by Alexei Hay—added just the right touch of sparkle. What was the finishing touch? The sleek, pulled-back bun perfectly embodied the minimalist-chic vibe.
Sulcer described the look as “sartorial and elevated, yet relaxed and chic”—perfectly aligned with the ethos of the out-of-office trend. With this latest appearance, Hadid not only promoted her clothing line, Guest in Residence, but also made a strong case for turning traditional office staples into style statements.
