Fake heiress Anna ‘Delvey’ Sorokin ditched her super-glamorous getups for a more modest look when she stepped out in New York City on Monday.
The 31-year-old con artist was caught leaving her box-sized apartment to meet with her parole officer, the only time she’s been allowed out of her $4,250 fifth-floor East Village home while she’s under house arrest.
While the socialite has made sure to make the most of her infrequent outings in the past and dressed up in eye-catching outfits like a silk dress and gown ensemble, on Monday she wore a simple gray sweatshirt and jeans.
Her hair was also not styled as it had been on previous occasions. However, one thing remained the same: her ankle monitor was still visible on her right leg.

The con artist, immortalized in Netflix’s Inventing Anna, spent two years in prison for her crimes. Russian-born Sorokin managed to convince a judge to release her from prison in October 2022 while she is fighting her deportation.
However, she must remain in her home 24 hours a day and must wear her ankle monitor at all times.
But she won’t let the restriction stop her social life, and said last year she will bring her elite circle of friends to her for intimate dinner parties every month.
She describes her weekly visit to the parole office as her “tinder” because everyone always asks if she’s a model or a celebrity, she told The Cut at the time.
Her house arrest is indefinite and she is barred from accessing social media, her own credit card, and is required to have an accountant.

In December it was revealed that the fake heiress was fined while serving time at Albion Correctional Facility in upstate New York for tampering with the unflattering tan outfit she was forced to wear.
A source close to her said she was “just trying to be fashionable” but broke the rules and was banned from participating in recreational activities or receiving packages for 10 days as punishment for her violation.
The source said that Sorokin tailored her prison garb to “fit her better as it was too big and baggy.”
In another incident, Sorokin lost her privileges and was banned for two weeks after giving false information to a prison guard and disobeying an order.
The incidents show Sorokin had a bumpy landing after being convicted of financial crimes in 2019 for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from hotels, private jet companies and her best friend.
She served two years in prison before being released in February 2021, only to be arrested again weeks later for overstaying her visa in the United States.
Released for a second time in October, Sorokin is currently appealing her conviction in hopes of remaining in America.
Her disciplinary record was released to following a Freedom of Information Act request to the New York State Department of Corrections.
It reveals that on August 27, 2020, there was an incident at the Albion facility in which Sorokin was accused of violating four prison rules.
They stated that an inmate should not “lie or provide incomplete, misleading and/or false statements or information”; an inmate should not “refuse to obey a direct instruction”; An inmate should not abuse their phone privileges and they should “follow instructions regarding facility package procedures.”

The following month, Sorokin had a hearing where she attempted to plead her case, but the prison imposed a sentence.
She was placed in “keeplock” for 15 days, meaning she was locked in her cell – although unlike solitary confinement, she still had her belongings.
For 20 days, she was banned from any recreational activities, could not receive packages, was forbidden to buy items from the prison commissary, and was not allowed to use the phone.
Sorokin was also unable to use her tablet for 20 days: each prisoner is given a device that is not connected to the Internet, to which he can download films and photos from friends and family.
The second incident happened in July 2019, just two months after her incarceration.
Her offenses included possession of contraband clothing.
The rules state: “Modification of state-issued clothing or property is prohibited. An inmate must pay for unauthorized altered state clothing or bedding.
The other two rules she violated were that she should “obey orders without argument” and “destroy, tamper with, and steal property.”
understands Sorokin’s injury was to tamper with her jumpsuit to make it look better.
Prison officials ordered Sorokin not to rest, use the commissary, receive packages, or use the phone for ten days as punishment.

Sorokin’s life was the subject of intense media scrutiny and was adapted into the Netflix series Inventing Anna, starring Julia Garner.
The show details how Sorokin claimed she had a $60 million trust fund and cheated her way into expensive trips and hotel stays, ripping off her best friend in the process.
Sorokin – who goes by the name of Anna Delvey – was released from prison in February last year after serving her four to 12-year sentence and set about returning to her former life of luxury by renting a swanky flat in Chelsea .
Weeks later, after boasting in a television interview that crime pays, she was arrested by immigration officials and held in prison in New York State pending $10,000 bail in October.
She has since moved into a small apartment above a payday loan store in New York’s East Village, measuring just 470 square feet. Sorokin must remain there 24 hours a day while she is under house arrest under the terms of her release.
Their new home costs around $2,000 a month, which is cheap by Manhattan standards, where average rents recently topped $5,000.
Sorokin has said that she “just hopes to get more freedom at some point” as she is currently banned from posting on social media by a judge.
In an interview, Sorokin said, “Maybe that’s for the best? It’s really hard to block out distractions. Hope it’s not forever’.
Reflecting on her crimes, Sorokin said that she has a “different perspective” on things than when she was last released. She said: “I regret how things have turned out. I have tried to see my experience in order to learn from it: who I am today I owe to the choices I made in the past.
She plans to sell artwork to make ends meet and is working on a podcast and book on criminal justice reform.
