Sam Worthington and Lara Bingle’s Stone-Faced Fashion Week Appearance Turns Heads

Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington took their seats for one of the Australian model’s favourite designers at New York Fashion Week.

Yet despite attending Alexander Wang’s highly anticipated runway presentation, the pair gave little away as they arrived.

The couple appeared notably unsmiling while watching the designer’s Fall/Winter 2014 show on Saturday.

Serious about their fashion: Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington could barely raise a smile as they attended the 2014 Fall/Winter Alexander Wang Fashion show in New York on Saturday

After a few recent wardrobe missteps, Lara delivered a polished look in a sheer black blouse layered beneath a tuxedo-style jacket. Sam, meanwhile, took a more casual route in the front row, wearing a woolly beanie.

With a thick beard and moustache to match, the actor’s headwear made him stand out among the fashion-forward crowd.

Although she maintained a serious expression during the show, Lara later revealed a brighter side in an Instagram photo taken backstage with Wang, the designer of the moment.

For her third day at fashion week Lara experienced a coup with her all-black ensemble.

The swimwear model and designer also applied a heavy application of burgundy lipstick to give her overall look a splash of colour.

The look comes after Lara managed to have two fashion fails in a matter of two days.

On Friday, the 26-year-old rolled up to both the Zimmermann and Rebecca Vallance shows in a monochrome ensemble.

At first glance, the attire appeared chic, but the unflattering black baggy trousers tucked into leather thigh high boots let her down.

On the top, the swimwear model and designer fared much better in a white T-shirt worn underneath a leather motorcycle jacket.

She attended the show alongside her new bestie Nicole Trunfio.

The girls had a ball as they supported the Aussie designers throughout the night.

While Lara, who is currently covering NYFW for Oyster magazine, stayed in the same outfit, Nicole changed from a floral cropped top and leather mini skirt to a little black dress.

During the evening, Lara posted a snap of the gal pals cuddling up and laughing on the Zimmermann catwalk.

Sam let the ladies have a girls’ night out, but the evening before he accompanied Lara to the Dion Lee Fashion Show on Thursday.

During the evening, Lara tried to up her game with an edgy outfit, but the grey tunic-inspired dress she wore ended up looking rather matronly.

Meanwhile, Sam was dressed simply in a black V-neck and navy winter coat, but for Lara her choice was unfortunately an instance of a risk not paying off.

The tweed ensemble appeared to swap the 1.68m model, and featured a complex light grey peplum-style top and a bizarre long skirt in a darker hue that parted at the front to reveal a shorter mini.

The attire also featured a white pleat at the front and black trim on the shoulders adding even more confusion to the outfit.

Luckily Lara simply paired the dress with some black thigh high boots that were just visible under the frock.

She pulled her hair back into a bun and once again opted for minimal make-up.

Lara and Sam have only been together for four months, and made their first public appearance together at the Australian Academy Cinema Television Arts awards in Sydney last week.

Following the awards ceremony they jetted to New York to attend the Fall/Winter Fashion week that kicked off in New York on Thursday night.

The model will be back in Sydney towards the end of March to promote her affordable swimwear line with Cotton On Body.

She is then expected to accompany Sam to South Australia where he’ll be shooting new Foxtel commissioned miniseries Deadline Gallipoli, that he will executive produce and feature in.
