1. Seeing Green
BFA
Wearing Chanel, Turlington Burns channels Audrey Hepburn at a fall MoMA benefit honoring actor Tom Hanks. An untamed updo makes her formal and sophisticated attire look sexy, while a raspberry lip adds the necessary pop of color to an otherwise all-black ensemble. (Protip: take all future selfies in front of a leafy green backdrop.)
2. Oribe Après Beach Wave & Shine Spray
Whether you're pulling it all up or letting it hang in waves, this light hold spray will give your look a fresh-off-the-beach vibe all year round. Oribe's product is infused with watermelon, lychee and edelweiss flower extracts to protect your locks from the NYC elements. bloomingdales.com
3. Sisley-Paris Phyto-Lip Shine in Sheer Raspberry
The kokum and mango butters in the creamy Phyto-Lip Shine hydrate and plump the lip. Sheer Raspberry is our favorite, but for late fall and winter, Sheer Berry will do quite well, too. barneys.com
4. Heart of gold
At an Every Mother Counts cocktail event, Turlington Burns goes bold in bright red Valentino. The color can either look sultry and expensive or downright cheap, so eye the fabric carefully, no matter the designer.
5. Valentino Ruffle-Trimmed Wool Melton Cape
Made of wool and cashmere, this exquisite red cape radiates a confident passion. Pairing the piece with a black cigarette pant and boots will elevate it to an even higher level of chic. barneys.com
6. Always ready for her close up
Turlington Burns has famously stated she will never get injections or go under the knife. (Rather easy for a supermodel to say.) We've found the perfect elixir to combat our fine lines and wrinkles–and to keep us out of the OR.
7. RéVive Intensité Line Erasing Serum
Ladies, step away from the syringes. This award-winning serum, developed by plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, will immediately soften fine lines and wrinkles and work overtime to ensure a prolonged youthful appearance. And it's not tested on animals! saksfifthavenue.com
8. Running for women's lives
The svelte supermodel makes it look easy. Turlington Burns' non-profit, Every Mother Counts, whose mission is to make pregnancy and child birth safe worldwide, counts among its initiatives a running team that raises awareness and funds for the organization. everymothercounts.org
9. Brooks Ghost 10 Road Running Shoe
The New York City Marathon is on November 4, which means you have six weeks to take up running and to break in a new pair of Brooks. The Ghost 10 has a neutral support and is a Runner's World "International Editor's Choice" award winner. brooksrunning.com
10. Coming up roses
Is it the whimsical floral print? Is it her tousled hair? Here, Turlington Burns exudes an approachable beauty, one that can be replicated with a thoughtful wardrobe choice. Or the right team of stylists.
11. Dolce & Gabbana Cotton Poplin Dress
Yes, summer's over, but that doesn't mean you won't need the iconic Italian duo's rose-print dress when you inevitably flee south to avoid yet another New York City snowstorm. A tea-length always flatters and transitions from day to night with charm. bergdorfgoodman.com
12. Beyond power couple
In June, Christy Turlington Burns and Ed Burns celebrated fifteen years of marriage in Spain. They have two children together, Grace and Finn. And yes, they really are as perfect as they appear to be. But, whatever, good for them. (IG: cturlington)
13. Rag & Bone Packable Straw Fedora
This paper straw and polyester hat literally folds up, so toss it in your Louis Vuitton and go. (Do people even carry hat boxes anymore?) The fedora tops off a simple tank and a boyfriend jean like a charm, and it's especially good for those last few days before your appointment with your colorist. rag-bone.com
14. Olivine Atelier Full Regalia
This is the fragrance for fall. It captures the lightness of a fading summer with contented notes of vanilla, while Egyptian Jasmine and Moroccan Red Rose bring the autumn mood. Smell good and do good: Olivine Atelier donates 5% of its net sales to Every Mother Counts. shopolivine.com
15. She's born with it
The ombré hair trend will soon be a thing of the past, and we can return to honoring hair coloring techniques that create interest and dimension without trying so hard. Turlington Burns' chestnut locks magnify her beauty, they don't detract from it.
16. Your Tribeca Salon: Blackstones
Located in The Roxy Hotel, Blackstones is where founder and stylist Joey Silvestera is known for personalizing every look. "I want to look like Christy," you'll say. "I'm not a magician," he'll say. blackstonesnyc.com
17. ICON
At a MoMA benefit honoring the actress Julianne Moore, Turlington Burns compliments her modest gown with a soft, smoky eye, adding multiple levels of allure. OK, yes, if the dress was red she would look like a cast member of The Handmaid's Tale. But come on, it's Chanel.
18. Tom Ford Private Shadow
Thirty shades with five distinct finishes comprise the designer's Private Shadow collection, each packaged in a stunning clutch-sized compact. Pictured here is Blue Velvet with a Vinyl finish, perfect for a crisp autumn evening at a museum gala or a so-good-you-can't-remember-it girl's night out in SoHo. bloomingdales.com
19. Next Generation
Evidently, Karlie Kloss is part of an exclusive crew that represents the next generation of supermodels. With all due respect to Ms. Kloss, no one will ever do it better than the OG. Here's to Christy Turlington Burns–supermodel, philanthropist, and quintessential New Yorker.
