THE world's biggest names in fashion have flocked to New York this week, to celebrate the start of New York Fashion Week 2018.

And from Gigi Hadid in crocodile print to Kendall Jenner rocking a seriously cool pair of red leopard trousers, it's set to be a week of dreamy SS19 couture, enviable street style, show-stopping front row line-ups and - without a doubt - some wild and wacky outfits. Here's what's happening so far...

Gigi Hadid and Kaia Gerber kicked off NYFW in the Big Apple by strutting their stuff down the Tom Ford runway.

23-year-old Gigi wore a plunging black gown with a crocodile corset belt and sheer cape.

The model teamed the look with slick black nails, golden strappy heels and copper shadow around the eyes.

Stealing the spotlight, Gigi wore her hair in a neat bun showing off her natural features.

Kaia meanwhile, oozed sophistication, wearing head-to-toe lavender.

The model graced the Tom Ford runway in a crocodile bodice, leather jacket and floor-length fringed lavender skirt.

Her hair was tied in a delicate lilac head scarf and 17-year-old Kaia - the daughter of Cindy Crawford - teamed her look with smokey copper eyes and her trademark full brows.

Trends

Animal print might be hotter than ever right now, but it certainly doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

If it's not Tom Ford showcasing a masterclass in how to wear crocodile print (black, brown, lavender - you name it) then it's celebs off the runway showing off their own wild ensembles.

Case in point: Kendall Jenner's dreamy red leopard trousers.

The summer sequin trend that took over the high street this year looks like it'll be making a comeback next summer (and with Christmas on the horizon, it probably won't be off the shelves for a while).

From sparkly boots to sequin dresses, the celebs can't get enough of the stuff.

Say hello to fringed skirts and dresses!

The sophisticated style was seen on and off the runway.

Both Kaia and Joan stepped out in floor-draping fringe wrap skirts.

And off the catwalk, Tess Holliday wore a textured green fringe dress complete with a statement red lip.

And speaking of beauty trends, we couldn't get enough of Gigi and Kaia's smokey copper eyes.

Here's to hoping that one catches on ASAP.

Wacky outfits

From street style to catwalk, these looks are utterly bonkers, but we can't tear ourselves away.
