A delicate, semi-sheer skirt paired with a hardy leather jacket gets at the sartorial tensions that Saint Laurent was built upon. Yai wears a Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello jacket (worn throughout) with a full look from the maison—Saint Laurent’s tank top, skirt, sunglasses, belt, and earrings.
Spotted on the Street
Yai (and her furry friend) make the crosswalk a runway with her expert layering. She sports the jacket over a woolen Louis Vuitton waistcoat and Louis Vuitton cuffed pants, completed with a sumptuously oversized scarf and pair of boots, also by Louis Vuitton.
A-Game Athluxury
The style genes run strong in this family: Yai and her sister, Alim, give us a masterclass in workout gear whilst headed to a session of their own. Alim wears a Proenza Schouler hoodie with Alo Yoga leggings, while Anok wears a full Miu Miu look—heather grey sweatshirt, turtleneck knit, leggings, satchel, and loafers.

Yai, enjoying a chic solo lunch at West Hollywood’s Saltie Girl Seafood Bar, sits pretty in a combination of high-sheen satin and buttery leather. Her electric-hued Tory Burch dress contrasts splendidly with knee-high Louis Vuitton boots.
