Chrissy Teigen gave new meaning to the phrase 'polar plunge'

Chrissy Teigen gave new meaning to the phrase 'polar plunge' on Tuesday in -7C in New York.

The 29-year-old model arrived to the Badgley Mischka runway show at New York Fashion Week in a plummeting cutaway blazer, Daily Mail reported.

Carefully navigating the snow-covered sidewalk in the -7 degree Celsius temperatures, the wife of R&B singer John Legend made her way into the Lincoln Center to observe the designers' fall/winter 2015 collection.

For the fashion event Chrissy donned a pair of black skinny trousers with her low-cut tweed coat - which included cutaway arms.

The golden-haired beauty accessorised with only a quilted black Chanel handbag, while wearing her highlighted locks down with loose natural texture.

Her makeup matched the season with dark kohl-rimmed eyes and wintry deep merlot-coloured lips
