March of the sulky supers: Kendall, Gigi, Rosie, Karlie and co put on their glummest looks on Balmain runway at Paris Fashion Week
- Balmain catwalk featured a host of famous faces including Jourdan Dunn, Karlie Kloss and Lily Donaldson
- Supermodel pals swapped hair colours - Kendall sported brunette locks while Gigi had blonde tresses
- Pastel pink corsets, feature-adorned bodices and nude knee-high boots featured in the presentation
It was the most hotly-anticipated show of Paris Fashion Week and, once again, the Balmain presentation didn't disappoint.
The luxury French brand's creative director, Olivier Rousteing, got a host of his A-list pals to model his autumn/winter 2016 designs, including Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lily Donaldson, Joan Smalls and Lindsey Wixson.
However, despite the star-studded line-up, the girls failed to crack a smile and looked rather miserable as they flaunted the unseasonally colourful wares.
Kendall rocked what appeared to be a blonde wig complete with roots, which was similar to the one recently worn by sister Kim Kardashian.
The 20-year-old reality star suffered an embarrassing wardrobe mishap as her nipples were clearly visible through her striped grey figure-hugging top.
The flamboyant outfit featured a feathered bodice, floor-sweeping cape and over-the-knee pastel hued boots.

Meanwhile, her best friend Gigi, also 20, transformed with long curled brunette hair, rather than her usual blonde, which also appeared to be a wig.
She strutted in front of the celebrity-packed crowd, which included Kris Jenner, Kanye West, Kate Hudson's ex Matt Bellamy, Kelly Rowland, Olivia Palermo and fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni in a high-necked dark lilac bodice, suede thigh-high boots in camel and a dramatic cape, complete with shoulder pads.
London-born stunner Jourdan Dunn kept her natural hair colour and dazzled in a blush pink mini dress complete with a metallic gold belt and super-high boots. The 25-year-old mother-of-one kept her make-up simple, helping to showcase her natural beauty.
Former Victoria's Secret model Karlie Kloss sported one of the most jaw-dropping looks of the season.
The 23-year-old businesswoman donned a cleavage-boosting corset, sheer lace trousers that had frill detailing down the sides and a satin cape.
Adding even more interest to her unusual get-up, Taylor Swift's best friend had a large plastic choker tied around her neck.
Lily Donaldson, pictured left, and Alessandra Ambrosio, right, also appeared to swap hair colours for the hotly-anticipated presentation

Meanwhile, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Lily Donaldson also had their famous glossy blonde tresses hidden underneath dark raven wigs.
Jason Statham's 28-year-old fiancée looked unrecognisable with her long locks styled in a striking centre parting.
Rosie modelled a high-necked sheer top complete with ornate gold embellishments, a black mini skirt with bead detailing and black tights.
Lily, 29, from London, channelled the ultimate femme fatale in a bodycon black dress with cut-out detailing on the shoulders and pretty frills across the bust.
Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio made her way onto the runway in a netted candyfloss pink top with frills along the sleeves and lace trousers, which revealed her large underpants.
The 34-year-old's iconic brunette curls were also ditched in favour of a lighter shade.
Following the show, which also include Joan Smalls, Binx Walton, Sara Sampaio and Lindsey Wixson, creative director Olivier Rousteing made his way onto the stage to loud cheers and applause from the crowd.

Rousteing is also just as popular behind the scenes as he is on the FROW, and his star-studded line-up is down to the fact that Karlie, Rosie, Gigi and Kendall are his friends.
The 25-year-old designer has something of a reputation for maxmimalism, not one to shy away from piling on the details with ruffles, pearls and fringing. This was evident in Gigi Hadid's floor-length gown that was dripping in pearls, and Kendall Jenner's laced-up fur corset.
While the collection received a rousing review from the FROW, it had a mix reception from the fashion press.
Style commentator Simon Glazin told FEMAIL: 'Since taking over the House of Balmain in 2011, Olivier Rousteing has done some marvelous things. Not least, dressing Cher head-to-toe in his monochrome diamond print, but also carrying on the uber luxe vibe of the brand with aplomb.
'The problem now though, is where does he go from here?
'Unfortunately, the most remarkable thing to happen in this latest show is that Kendall wore blonde hair, and Gigi went brunette. The clothes came second.
Models stormed the catwalk in elaborate fringed frocks, ruffled blouses, fur-adorned mini skirts and nude accessories
Cut-away shoulder detailing, metallic waist belts, sheer lace and a muted colour palette were key themes throughout the show
The colour palette for autumn/winter 2016 featured candyfloss pinks, metallic blue, classic black, muted grey and iridescent blue

'We know that Rousteing can cut a brilliant collection - we've seen it in the rising sales of Balmain over the last couple of years - but this offering seemed pretty static.
'We've seen his lace corseting before, a few times in fact, and the angel hair fringing was first seen a few seasons ago. Dramatic shoulders, too, are something Rousteing is relying on to bring the fab factor. But in actual fact, we want more.
'The pastel colour palette was pretty, and I imagine the boots will sell well, but Balmain needs to move forward now, in a big way. The days of adding a serious waist belt or a ruffle down trouser legs might well be over. Come on Olivier, let's see something new!'
Fans on Twitter heaped praised on the line with one admirer writing: 'So amazing, @Balmain and @ORousteing ♥ I am absolutely in love with all these outfits !!! #BALMAINFW16 #balmainArmy.'
While another added: '@karliekloss you were truly stunning and gorgeous at the #BALMAINFW16'.
One fashion fan said: 'The question is: why is Kendall so pretty. #BALMAINFW16.'
