Cindy Crawford Reunited With Helena Christensen and Christy Turlington Wearing This Timeless Outfit Formula

‘It’ girls come and go, changing with the seasons and bringing along someone new — or do they? Cindy Crawford has been one of the most influential women in media since the ‘90s, and she’s still making waves. Most recently, she reunited with longtime friends Helena Christensen and Christy Turlington, giving us a taste of her impeccable style.

Crawford wore a black button-down shirt with classic blue jeans. She accessorized the pants with an embossed belt and added a gold pendant necklace for good measure. But what really caught my attention was how timeless her ensemble was — and I found 11 lookalike pieces starting at $19.

Crawford isn’t the first person to realize just how versatile button-downs are; celebrities have been wearing them nonstop, especially recently. Gisele Bündchen went pantless in hers, Gigi Hadid rocked one with pagoda shoulders, and Naomi Watts took hers to the next level with a fitted blazer. Each ensemble looked effortlessly chic and gave off completely different vibes even though they all shared the same common denominator: a button-down. Even better, the omission of pants, pairing with shorts, and layering of jackets proves button-downs are multi-seasonal, letting you get more bang for your buck. 

But Crawford’s style genius didn’t end there, as she also slipped on the aforementioned jeans. I don’t have to give you a complete rundown of why denim is such a fashion staple, as I’m sure you already know about their never-ending style capabilities. But you may not be aware that jeans, such as this Levi’s Wedgie pair, are just as trans-seasonal as Crawford’s button-down. You get to decide if they’re made for spring by adding bright-colored flats and a peplum top, or if they’re a summer must-have by adding woven sandals and a tank.

If I’ve learned anything from this fashion analysis, it’s that basic wardrobe pieces are sometimes the best ones to invest in. They’ll never go out of style, work throughout multiple seasons, and look so good — just like Crawford. So lock in your new favorite black button-down and jeans from the list above.
