Hitting the streets of New York with her dog Colombo on Friday, the 33-year-old turned out an army-inspired outfit which brought ‘gorpcore’ front and centre of the 'Core carousel.
The model paired an aubergine-hued tank top complete with strappy detailing, with a pair of khaki drawstring cargo pants. A pair of black cat-eye sunglasses shielded her face, marking an unexpected departure from her go-to Jacquemus ‘Le Soleil’ shades in marigold.

Once again going without her beloved ‘Sylvester’ pendant, Emily accessorised with a gold necklace peppered with colourful gemstones, reminiscent of Topshop’s Freedom collection circa 2010 but with a luxury twist.
Opting for a practical endnote, Emily slipped into a pair of Brain Dead X Oakley slip-on sneakers, printed with a snakeskin design and violet gel accents.
The divisive shoes harkened back to when gorpore ruled the roost. Gorpcore was coined in May 2017 by Jason Chen at The Cut. The term embodies all things outdoorsy and takes inspiration from being at one with nature, AKA camping, climbing, hiking, rock climbing - activities that call for a shoe silhouette like that of Emily’s chosen kickers.
Gorpcore was named after the colloquial term for trail mix, 'Good Ol’ Raisins and Peanuts' and revolves around the utilitarian. Championing gear and equipment as opposed to a mere aesthetic outfit, gorpcore spans hiking boots to cargo pants, rainproof jackets to utility vests, zip-up fleeces to base layers and more. If it has an abundance of bulky pockets, it's gorpcore.
This isn’t Emily’s first affair with the sartorial concept. Although she has been favouring more understated looks as of late, the My Body author has been known to flirt with a functional piece or two.
