Ella Emhoff brought her signature offbeat cool look to New York Fashion Week. She stepped out in a gingham outfit from Sandy Liang’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Her look was photographed and shared on Instagram by street style photographer Martin Romero. Emhoff’s outfit proved that layering can completely transform even the simplest pieces.
Ella Emhoff styles Sandy Liang bra top in the most unexpected way at NYFW show
Ella Emhoff styled a bright blue gingham set that felt equal parts playful and polished. The standout detail? A Sandy Liang bra top layered over a basic white, cropped tee. Instead of wearing the delicate piece on its own, Emhoff treated it as a statement accessory. She let its structured cups and thin straps sit visibly on top of the fitted T-shirt. The styling choice gave the look a quirky, DIY energy while still feeling intentional and runway-ready.
She paired the layered top with a matching cropped gingham jacket featuring subtle bow accents and a wide collar that framed her shoulders. The coordinating high-waisted midi skirt flowed softly to her calf, creating a balanced silhouette that contrasted with the cropped proportions on the upper half. The checkered blue and white pattern added a retro charm, while the skirt brought movement and ease.
Emhoff grounded the look with opaque white tights and minimal ballet flats. The outfit leaned fully into the soft, doll-like aesthetic that Sandy Liang is known for. She kept her accessories understated, opting for simple silver earrings and her signature glasses. Her short brunette hair, styled in loose waves, complemented the youthful feel of the ensemble. To complete the outfit, she carried a matching blue bag from the designer’s collection. She wore it over her shoulder with her bag charms hanging.
By layering a bra top over a basic tee, Emhoff turned a traditionally bold piece into something unexpectedly wearable for the Sandy Liang NYFW show.
