Lauren Sánchez Bezos knows how to make a fashion statement, and her latest New York City appearance proves that a little vintage Chanel can go a long way.
The author and philanthropist was all smiles as she stepped out after an appearance on "CBS Mornings," where she promoted her children's book, The Fly Who Flew to Space. While her latest literary project was the reason for her visit, her striking designer outfit delivered a memorable street-style moment.

Her fitted black Wolford turtleneck bodysuit provided a polished foundation, allowing the vintage Chanel design to remain the focal point. The long sleeves and high neckline also balanced the mini skirt's shorter length, creating a look that was both sophisticated and daring.
