Model-of-the-moment Agyness Deyn paid tribute to Elvis Presley as she stepped out with a huge quiff in New York yesterday.

The 25-year-old clothes horse showed off her hair-raising new style as she walked around listening to tunes on her iPod.

Agyness has been spending increasing amounts of time in the Big Apple since she starting dating Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jnr last month.

Despite a brief return to London to attend Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball last week, the couple quickly returned to New York, where Albert has an apartment in the city's trendy Meatpacking district.

When spotted enjoying the sunshine in Manhattan, the trendsetter opted for a contemporary twist on a popular American 50s look of denim pedal pushers and a checked blouse.

After showing a sleeker look to her famous bleach blonde haircut in recent weeks, Agyness spiced things up by gelled her hair horizontal in an Elvis-esque quiff.

Agyness and Albert went public as a couple at the Songwriter Hall Of Fame Awards in New York just two weeks ago.

Their 'outing' came just weeks after Agyness split from long-term love, The Paddingtons rocker Josh Hubbard after four years together.

The 25-year-old, as famous for her striking haircut as her modelling, has recently turned her attentions to the world of music.

Deyn’s vocal collaboration with long-term friends the Five O’Clock Heroes meant she performed a number of London gigs including one in Hammersmith where she turned up with bruised legs and a guitar strapped to her back.
