The Queen of California cool Gigi Hadid has spoken once again with her clothes. And this time, she's sending the message that fall and winter fashion should be bright and bold with a touch of whimsical elements.

Name a more versatile street-style star than Gigi — we won't wait and why should we? The proof is truly in her ever-changing and exciting wardrobe which includes CEO-energy blue velvet pantsuits, pinstripe sets, oversized blazers, and Barbiecore corsets. And ofc, we can't forget the Guest in Residence founder's affinity for eclectic patterned knits and cozy cardigans, which she effortlessly pairs with the trendiest of handbags and shoes. Even date night inspo dress inspo is on Gigi's fashion menu (relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio not included). Hadid's latest style offering is a casual take on a skater-girl-inspired 'fit and it's super easy to recreate.

The eldest Hadid sister was seen out and about in NYC on November 3, sporting a personalized pair of low-rise jeans, and a satin cream button-down. Smiley face, earth, and cactus patches were added to her pants alongside the embroidered moniker of her daughter Khai, who she shares with ex-BF Zayn Malik. Gigi repped her brand Guest in Residence, pairing the Everywear Cardigan in almond over her ensemble. The neutral tones of the tops contrasted against Hadid's layers of rainbow and gold necklaces, which matched her pink crew socks and floral Fendi Baguette shoulder bag perfectly. Gigi finished her fun look off with Reformation's Agathea Leopard-Print Loafers, a pair of oval sunnies, and mismatched, charm drop earrings.
