Stepping out in Manhattan, Shayk was photographed wearing a white camisole over tiny black shorts, with a chic black blazer over the top. She channeled her inner rock star by sporting a classic pair of Dr. Martens, with her laces tied around the ankles. But, most notably, she carried a book-shaped clutch bag featuring the most perfect title.

The unmistakeable Olympia Le-Tan clutch was a recreation of the cover of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 1869 book, The Idiot. The embroidered bag features gold leaf page detailing, and is the absolute best way anyone can send a message to their haters:
