Olivia Palermo continues self-isolating in style as she flashes her toned legs on a dog walk in NYC

Olivia Palermo continued to cement her status as a fashion icon, as she strutted around the Big Apple on Wednesday. 

The 34-year-old socialite appeared to be setting an example for her more than 6.4 million Instagram followers, who she has encouraged to play around with fashion during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

While walking her beloved white Maltese, Mr. Butler, the influencer commanded attention in an eye-catching pair of bedazzled sunglasses. 

For her afternoon dog walk, the former MTV star sported a fitted black jacket with beige and white stripes around the garment’s sleeves. 

Palermo, who was wearing black sneakers, covered her mouth and nose with a beautiful silk scarf.  

As the designer navigated around Downtown, Brooklyn, she kept her brunette locks styled back in a sleek low bun. 

Back in April, she shared tips with her massive following on how to stay stylish, while also helping to slow the spread of COVID-19.

‘Safety, but make it fashion,’ she captioned a picture of herself walking around in a chic yellow t-shirt, matching trainers and a furry coat. 

She urged: ‘Get creative with your closet and make your own covering and leave the professional masks to the healthcare workers.’ 

She ended the caption of the outdoor snap with: ‘Thankful to everyone helping on the frontlines on #worldhealthday and please #stayhome if you can! ❤️’

Olivia’s post was met with mixed, as many followers deemed her message irresponsible.

‘Forget about fashion,’ one wrote, while urging others to simply wear surgical or cloth masks. 

Another sarcastically commented: ‘Considering the shortage of food supplies and those who lost their jobs, a promotion of $800 boots will definitely make people feel better.’

Despite the initial controversy, Palermo has continued to share images of herself making use of her expansive collection of chic handkerchiefs. 

She recently celebrated her sixth wedding anniversary with her husband, Johannes Huebl.

The pair wed in 2014 after first getting together in 2008. They were engaged for six -months before marrying in June 2014.
