Taking on a number of looks, from androgynous preppy polos to [adorable tweed skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection), Elisa is both cute and classy thanks to stylist Barbara Martelo. In the finest fall fashions from the likes of Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry Prorsum, and Versace, the model-turned-actress is a true portrait of sophistication. There's no doubt that eccentric colors and extravagant detailing is in this season, and this set is no exception. Elisa's stunning [yellow pullover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-activewear) paired with simple black slacks makes for an incredibly polished look, and the oxford-style heels are a clever and classy way to dress up any outfit.
