Emily Ratajkowski is proving once again that simplicity can be the ultimate showstopper. The model was recently spotted in New York City with friend Ziwe Fumudoh sporting a minimalist look that turned heads for all the right reasons. On Oct. 5, EmRata paired a simple white off-the-shoulder top with black fitted pants, creating an effortlessly stylish outfit that you’ll want to bookmark.

Ratajkowski's black and white ensemble is the perfect example of how you can elevate basics into night-out essentials. The off-the-shoulder top, which hugged her frame, added a flirty, feminine touch. Meanwhile, the flared black slacks elongated her legs and gave a tailored, sophisticated balance to the overall look. With the addition of pointed-toe brown boots and a bold pop of color from the actor’s cherry red handbag (this season’s hottest color), the outfit was the perfect mix of classic and contemporary.

This outfit is another "model-off-duty" moment for Ratajkowski, who often blends classic elements with modern flair. This spring, she had a corporatecore moment on the streets of NYC when she wore a blazer, a bra as a top, and butter-yellow trousers.

The model is also no stranger to bringing a monochromatic outfit to life with colorful accessories. At Proenza Schouler’s New York Fashion Week show, she paired a black sleeveless top and black leather skirt with white boots and a bright red bag.
