Some of New York Fashion Week’s best beauty moments have come from the models themselves—here are the faces that stood out backstage this season.

Seeing Redheads
Redheads always stand out but they’ve been extra visible this week. We saw tomato ketchup-redhead Natalie Westling at Vera Wang, Prabal Gurung, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Marc Jacobs—the 17-year-old skater told us she’d dyed it for the spring Marc Jacobs campaign, which she appears in alongside Miley Cyrus. (The red was covered up at the actual Marc Jacobs show, though, under one of the pale, “off-colour” wigs dyed to resemble an “old-lady rinse” by colourist Victoria Hunter of Whittemore Salon in New York, and cut by Guido Palau).

Backstage at Prabal Gurung, titian-haired Québécoise newcomer Sophie Touchet said she was “stressed but it’s a good stressed.” (In her first New York season, she also walked at Rag & Bone, Suno and Richard Chai.) Hairstylist Paul Hanlon parted the hair in the centre and tucked it behind the ears with a low, pulled-out ponytail—inspired by Prabal’s travel photographs of women in Nepal.
