In the Autumn Winter 2014 Givenchy Fashion Show the stylists incorporated a very natural look for the models. The hair, mainly using blonde or mousy brown haired models, was pulled away from the face in middle partings. It was slicked back but not quite flat and ended into 2 messy-ish plaits knotted down the back of the head.

The makeup, although simple, had some notable points. Blending into the face the eyebrows were bleached and messy, spiked up. The base was flawless with a strong but very natural looking contour, notable on the cheekbones and jawline. Similarly with the highlight, it is noticeable strong but natural, seen especially on the nose and forehead. The eyes have a very simple style, there was a medium brown (similar to Mac Taupe) covering the whole eye and winged out up towards the eyebrow. On some models this was notably stronger, and featured a stronger shade in the corners. Most models had winged white eyeliner on the top lash line. This seemed to add to the simple, modern style and framed the eyes. Most eye-catching of the look were the red squares featured at the temples. This was an 'eye-lifting elastic band' which created a very strict and straight affect onto the model, keeping with the theme of the whole show which was quite smart. The lips were neutral and the blush was a peachy/corally shade used in a contoured way across the cheeks.

During the fashion show there was lots to look at and a lot going on., highlighted by the strip lights bouncing off the white cat walk. Largely featured were long-sleeved, wafty silk shirt dresses in many different patterns including 'python prints and blown up butterfly wings' aswell as 'painterly water colours and leopard print'. Compared to the clothes, the hair and makeup is simple and understated, which draws attention off the model and onto the outfit. The bold and rich designs completely take the attention of the audience, standing out against the bright and white backdrop. Also featured towards the end of the show was the use of fur jackets in nudes and creams, very  understated compared to the rest of the line. The shoes are all sandal style pumps and all models wore black translucent tights under the dress, shirts and skirts.
