Listen, we’ve admired Leigh Lezark’s style from afar for a while now, and yet her mysteriously gothic ensembles never fail to impress.  The raven-haired 27-year-old model looked effortlessly cool whilst out and about in downtown Manhattan last week.

We don’t know if it’s the influence of Halloween, but we have major love for black lace at the moment and Leigh really carries the look off with aplomb.

Her darkly decadent knee-length dress was paired with a pair of practical opaque tights – this girl knows how to dress for the cold – and by adding a failsafe black leather biker jacket and a pair of round-toed heeled pumps, Miss Lezark looked stylish, coordinated and insouciant.

While many may argue black is a bit of a cop out colour, Leigh definitely proves there’s sleekness on the dark side yet. And, of course, as a brand ambassador of Chanel, she wouldn’t be seen without her 2.55 arm candy. In black, naturally.
