With her classic beauty and ability to look right at home in a couture gown, Sasha Luss radiates glamour. The statuesque Russian may be a regular presence at Dior and Chanel Couture, but this season it’s her off-duty style that has people talking. Amidst the over-styled, borrowed-fresh-from-the-showroom looks that have dominated street style photos of late, Luss’s carefree outfits consistently provide a welcome breath of fresh air.
Though she adheres to model wardrobe staples of combat boots, leather jackets, and skinny jeans, Luss has a way of elevating the standards. Whether she’s upgrading a plaid shirt and ripped denim with the addition of a chunky fur coat and metallic Chanel sneakers or adding polish to a winter parka with piles of jewelry, Luss manages to make it all look easy. Effortless chic may remain one of the holy grails of personal style: Everyone aspires to it, but few can truly lay claim to the term. Considering Luss is armed only with a suitcase full of pieces designed to carry her through multiple cities, we’d say she’s got the corner on the competition.
While it remains to be seen what Luss will show up in come New York Fashion Week—she’s already updated Instagram with a few promising blazer options—it’s clear she’s a style star worth paying attention to. A forthcoming role in Luc Besson’s sci-fi thriller Valérian and the City of a Thousand Planets will also allow the beauty to bring her unique touch to red carpet dressing, but for the moment, she seems content to keep her wardrobe of sublime basics raising the bar.
