Kelsey Merritt recently turned 26 last October 1 and it couldn’t have been more memorable. While her birthday this year was a far cry from her all-white-themed birthday bash last year in Los Angeles, we can hardly call turning a year older in the gorgeous city of Paris a downgrade. The Victoria’s Secret model is currently in the fashion capital for Paris Fashion Week and naturally had her birthday fall in between all of the festivities.
With her love for hubadera dressing, it comes as no surprise that the Filipina-American would choose to don a skin-baring ‘fit on her special day. As seen here, Kelsey went with a sultry leather outfit comprising of a black crop top and a matching mini skirt to go with it. Since it’s transitioning to winter over in France, the model also threw on a leather jacket over her ensemble for a chic layering situation.


Finishing off her black-on-black OOTD was a pair of strappy black stilettos. Of course, no outfit would be complete without some bling and Kelsey adorned her neck and wrists with diamond-studded jewelry.

As for her makeup, the 26-year-old chose smokey black liner to make her round eyes pop while completing her beauty look with bronzed cheeks and a soft pink lip.
