When it comes to fashion, sometimes even the most unexpected pieces take center stage. For Novak, denim isn’t usually a go-to, but Phoebe Philo’s designs are the exception. She effortlessly pairs dark-wash jeans with a sleek open-back silk top, a statement Tiffany & Co. necklace, and heeled loafers—proving that casual can still be chic. Practicality meets style as she avoids light fabrics during inventory days (ink stains are no joke!), and when she wants to make a bold statement, her Phoebe Philo burgundy Cadillac bag does the talking.
**Paraphrase:**
Denim isn’t typically Novak’s first choice, but for Phoebe Philo, she’ll break the rules. She styles dark jeans with a backless silk top, a Tiffany & Co. tassel necklace (with swappable beads), and sleek loafers for a polished yet relaxed look. Novak jokes about avoiding light fabrics during inventory—ink disasters are a real risk. While she usually sticks to one everyday bag, her Phoebe Philo burgundy tote is her go-to when she wants to stand out.
