Fashion month doesn’t begin and end with the runways. Every season brings along a new set of models whose style is every bit as interesting as what they wear during the collections. Taking to the street in self-styled pieces that demand attention, the next generation of fashion-conscious beauties brings the expertise they’ve picked up backstage or on shoots and applies it to their personal wardrobes. Insta-girls like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Emily Ratajkowski may garner the bulk of the attention, but these well-dressed stars are giving them a run for their money when it comes to off-duty looks.

Throughout the NYFW snowstorm Hellam kept things chic with Sies Marjan jackets and colorful faux furs as her winter gear.
Selah MarleyInstagram: selahmarleyThe well-dressed daughter of music icon Lauryn Hill, Selah Marley made an impact this season in the front row at shows like Michael Kors Collection and Coach where her sporty-meets-sophisticated outfits stood out.
