Gigi Hadid has been up for anything this fashion month. She's appeared on runways for Giambattista Valli, Balmain, Rihanna's Puma collection, Versace, and Tommy Hilfiger almost always sporting a new look. Here are the tricks we've learned from her chameleonic fashion month.

Sparkling, Glittery Eyebrows

Hadid's latest beauty move occurred at the Giambattista Valli show where she added some shine to her brows. Suck on that, Cara Delevingne. Who has the most talked-about brows now? The glitter comes from Val Garland for MAC, according to Teen Vogue. Copy the look to say "ask me about my bonkers arts-and-crafts session" with your face.

Get Wiggy With It

Last week, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid traded hair colors by donning wigs at the Balmain show. Social media treated this like they had just found the ability to miraculously swap bodies, Freaky Friday-style, but they were just wigs provided by Sam McKnight. Hadid (and fellow Balmain runway models) held onto the wigs after the show and for the afterparty.

"It can give you a different personality instantly," Kerry Washington's hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew told Hollywood Reporter. Different personality might not be the right description in the case of Hadid embodying Kendall, but at least it looked cool.

Hadid's look at Rihanna's Puma Fenty show was probably her most bold. If even the most chill California girl can look phresh out the Hot Topic, so can her most devoted fans. Makeup artist Pat McGrath did the black lip, according to Teen Vogue, and the model also let white paint be brushed into her hair. My mom sports this kinda look before getting dye at the grocery store (jk, love you, mom.)

Just Roll With It

Hadid left on the show-stopping dark makeup from Rihanna's show and wore it to the Maybelline fashion week party. Maybe she was born with it? Maybe it's because Rihanna.

Don't Regret the Accidents

When constructing a beauty look so much can go wrong: smeared lipsticks, haywire eyeliner, and, you know, wardrobe malfunctions. But forget the accidents, like Ms. Hadid did after the Versace show and focus on what matters. "Wadrobe malfunctions happen on the runway every day of fw & are...unfortunate,lol,but let's talk instead about the new VERSACE CHOKERS," she wrote on social media after the incident.

That or have a cat eye fierce enough no one even notices that everything else is going to hell.
