Ouch! A run-down Lorde shows swollen PURPLE eye on Instagram
New York Fashion Week has taken its toll on New Zealand singer Lorde, who took to Instagram yesterday to show off a rather nasty beauty disaster.
The Royals hitmaker posted two selfies showing off her "screaming and weeping" right eye free of make-up, though she was still working the winged liner on her other eye.
Rather than answer the same questions over and over again for journalists at Kanye West's Yeezy show that day, Lorde chose to address the issue on Instagram instead.
"One question: what happened to your eye?" she captioned the first selfie, taken in the middle of her hair and make-up session.
And after returning to her hotel following Kanye's show, the Kiwi singer gave some further insight, saying she would rather be out and about than holed up in her bedroom.
"The skin is peeling off my lips and hands these days I very rarely see the sun," she wrote.
"My eye is weeping and screaming and it's fashion week and everyone already thinks i'm strange and it's a kanye show where the freaks are beautiful so why not say fuck it and let's dance with the melodrama?"
We like her attitude.
Eye infection or not, Lorde took pride of place in the front row at the Yeezy catwalk presentation, sitting between Kourtney Kardashian and Givenchy creative director Ricardo Tisci.
So important was Lorde's presence that poor Kendall was renegated to the second row behind all of her sisters – awks.
Even with pink eye, she's still killing it in the style stakes… total win.
