Timeless elegance! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stuns in white dress in NYC ...after posting throwback photo of Kate Moss in a similar frock

Some forms of classic glamour never go out of style.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley proved as much Wednesday night, when she was photographed in New York in a sleeveless white dress redolent of Old Hollywood.

The 30-year-old, who welcomed her first child this June, stepped out in SoHo draped in an off-white overcoat that slid off her shoulders.

Earlier that day, she'd hinted at her inspiration, posting an Instagram photo of Kate Moss in a similarly sleeveless floor-length white frock at the 1995 CFDA Awards.

Rosie's gleaming Wednesday night dress offered a faint trace of cleavage and was hemmed at the ankles, allowing her to show off her silver-hued stilettos.

She added a bit of glitz to the ensemble with a glistening drop necklace and an elaborate pair of earrings from Nirav Modi Celestial collection, letting her blonde hair down.

The British bombshell, who used to be a Victoria's Secret Angel, played up her movie star features with makeup including an eye-popping shade of scarlet lipstick.

Get it right in white with Rosie's dress by The Row

Being compared to Kate Moss is definitely compliment.

We can't think of anyone whose style we want to copy more than Mossy's, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley clearly agrees.

She credited Kate as her 'vibes' inspiration, then stepped out in this very slinky silk maxi dress, which is by The Row.

The elegance is in the simplicity when it comes to this trend. We love the spaghetti straps and square neckline, and when teamed with Stuart Weitzman heels, a Jimmy Choo clutch and a coat which is also by The Row, Rosie has brought this Nineties look bang up to date.

Gripping her clutch in one hand, Rosie was the image of elegance as she folded herself into a gleaming black automobile and shot a glance outside.

Wednesday's well-dressed night out comes after Rosie went to dinner with her fellow model Joan Smalls, 29, in New York on Tuesday.

Posting a photo of the pair of them to Instagram Tuesday evening, Rosie wrote in the caption: '8pm dinner res with my girl @joansmalls'.

On Wednesday, Rosie posted the throwback photo of her fellow English model Kate, who - like Rosie this week - was wearing red lipstick and her blonde hair down.

In the caption of the Kate Moss photo, Rosie wrote: 'vibes'.

According to Marie Claire UK - which posted a different photo of Kate at the 1995 CFDA Awards in a different context last year - the dress was Calvin Klein.

Rosie's been with the hunky Jason Statham - 20 years her senior - since 2010, and they welcomed their son Jack this June.

She made the announcement with a sweet black and white Instagram photo showing her baby's hand gripping her index finger.

'Our little man arrived! Jack Oscar Statham - 8.8lbs on Saturday June 24th,' she wrote in the caption, closing with a heart emoji.
