Karlie Kloss flaunts taut tummy in cropped turtleneck

Karlie Kloss flaunted her taut tummy in a cropped black turtleneck while out and about in Manhattan on Thursday.

The 25-year-old IMG Model – who relies on stylist Karla Welch – dressed the rest of her statuesque 6ft2in figure in blue jeans and palm-print high-tops while toting a white leather purse.

The Chicago-born, St. Louis-raised beauty scraped her damp platinum blonde locks in to a messy top bun and she wore gold-framed glasses on her minimally-made up face.

In a new InStyle interview, Karlie revealed her mentors in the industry included nineties supermodels Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crawford.

‘I think Cindy Crawford is one of the chicest women,’ Kloss – who’s appeared on 36 Vogue covers – gushed to the mag.

‘She’s so smart, and she’s got incredible taste. She taught [daughter Kaia Gerber] well. Kaia also has really good style. And Jourdan Dunn. She’s one of my best friends, and I just think she’s like hysterical and she has really good taste.’

The 16-year-old IMG Model will guest star on the millennial homeowner’s six-part series Movie Night with Karlie Kloss, which premieres December 28 on Freeform.

As for her boyfriend of five years, investment mogul Joshua Kushner, Karlie revealed their favorite sort of date night activities.

‘I really love doing something active, so like a bike ride across the Brooklyn Bridge to get pizza in Brooklyn or cooking together,’ Kloss explained.
