The 23-year-old model wore a black-lace collared blouse buttoned at the top as it peeped open at the bottom to show off her toned abs. The schoolgirl black leather skirt felt like it gave a nod to Britney Spears’ “… Baby One More Time” era with a modern twist. Emhoff elevated the look with black knee socks and platform heels and accessorized her outfit with black-rimmed glasses and a white handbag with gold trim.
