Why a Stroke of Kohl Was Made for All-Black Dressing: Kendall Jenner, Rita Ora, And More

From Alexander Wang’s obsidian collection (complete with inky-haired models) to Fendi’s head-to-toe noir moments, the fall runways’ dark impulses were made for a bold stroke of eye pencil. The look is already turning up on the streets: Spotted in London, Rita Ora took her freshly chopped pixie for a punkish spin with a motorcycle jacket and sooty lids, while Kendall Jenner paired leather with winged smoky eyes, and Victoria’s Secret model Elsa Hosk toughened up her bronze Angel glow with wraparound liner. Just in time for Saturday night, here’s to the unfailing cool of an all-black palette.
