Anok Yai’s Work-From-Home Wardrobe Is Unapologetically Glam

From the moment Anok Yai arrived on the fashion scene, she delivered glamour. The 22-year-old model went from being discovered at Howard University’s homecoming celebrations in 2017 to becoming one of Miuccia Prada and Tom Ford’s favorite beauties almost overnight. In just three years, Yai has proven herself an essential part of the fashion conversation and a style star in her own right. When she’s on the road for the shows, Yai flaunts daring outfits that regularly garner the attention of street style photographers. Under normal circumstances, Yai would be prepping for the couture collections, but since the order to shelter in place was issued in New York York in late March, she’s been at home in Brooklyn. Despite the slow down, fashion is never far from Yai’s mind, and she has channeled her energy into creating attention-grabbing at-home looks.

Apt to don a slip dress for a Zoom party or do the laundry in Prada boy shorts, she’s found creative ways to break the monotony of being stuck indoors. Whether she’s turning her roof into a makeshift photo studio or reminiscing about Florence while wearing Zegna, she uses style to set a mood. Here, she guides Vogue through a week’s worth of outfits with savoir-faire.
