Runway stares have gotten fierce—literally. Sure, it's the clothes we're meant to focus on,
but for every million-dollar smile, we're discovering there's a way angrier version worth
just as much (even more!), and twice as intimidating. Seems The Cut believes models opt
for a mean look because appearing happy somehow seems awkward. Agreed, there's
nothing worse than a phony grin. Regardless, we're rather smitten with the
rash of angry glares, and have even ranked them from Mildly Annoyed to
Downright Murderous.
1. Lara Stone (Anger Index: Murderous)
Her razor-sharp cheekbones and otherworldly stare seem to suggest
that some sort of awful death-by-beauty awaits us.
2. Egle Tvirbutaite (Anger Index: Daggers for Eyes)
The Lithuanian beauty always works an ornery grimace with a villainous
edge thanks to her asymmetrically arched eyebrows. Mean!
3. Madisyn Ritland (Anger Index: Thoroughly Disgusted)
The Colorado native's light eyes and intense stare brings two words to mind:
Crazy and Beautiful. Or maybe Crazy and Vicious. Either/or.
4. Karlie Kloss (Anger Index: How Dare You...)
The St. Louis-native's zombie-like "death stare" has made her one of the
most sought-after models in the business.
5. Katie Fogarty (Anger Index: Surly)
Weird coincidence, but the brunette with the infamous frowny pout also
hails from St. Louis. Something funky in the pipes or what?
6. Coco Rocha (Anger Index: Mildly Annoyed)
The Canadian redhead couldn't be sweeter in person, but on the catwalk,
she's gained a rep for her dark, brooding scowl.
