modelTHE SCOOP:
Holy Trish Goff! She's back on the runway after a three-year hiatus and didn't mind at all when we nearly swooned upon recognizing her backstage. She happily posed for a quick pic after the pre-show walkthrough at Roseland.

The rock and roll venue definitely set the tone for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund darling, Wang's fall '09 show. Dick Page crafted the ultimate moody face with contouring around the eyes, nose and cheekbones. He lit the eyes with a silvery cream shadow and blended it out with deep brown liner around the lash line. He completed the monochromatic look with translucent loose powder and nude lipstick.

The hair certainly garnered more attention, with its slick, boyish appearance from the front, and corseted wave in back, secured with hair bungee cords usually reserved for ponytails.

With all the black and white and punk accents on the clothes, the nails were kept subdued. According to Nonie Crème, creator of butter LONDON, "they were anti-gloss, but über-perfect."

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Go monochrome with Shiseido Makeup Hydro-Powder Eye Shadow in White Lights, Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil in Brown and Perfect Rouge Lipstick in Spiced Cream
