""It's not just showing up and walking, it's constant upkeep," model Natalie DeMarco, 25, told The Post, saying she'll typically spend roughly $2,000 in the weeks leading up to a show."
""From skincare, hair, treatments, gym memberships and castings, you're constantly investing in yourself before you ever see a paycheck," the 5'11" stunner stated. "What looks effortless on the runway is actually a lot of behind-the-scenes maintenance." Maintenance - and money. Starting with skin: DeMarco's dewy complexion is enhanced by luxe treatments. While the model typically uses Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser ($26) and Stratia Interface Peptide Cream ($29) on a regular basis, she ramps up her routine ahead of NYFW, indulging in two facials per week, priced around $200 each."
""That's up to $800 without tip, so it gets pricey," she admitted of the fortnight ahead of the bi-annual event. To hone her fabulous physique, DeMarco is a regular at Natural Pilates in Soho, where a 12-class-per-month membership runs at $450, per their website. "I try to do at least three reformer classes a week in the week or two leading up to NYFW," she dished. To look extra fit, the fashionista adds two Barry's boot camp classes to her schedule, at approximately $43 per session."
A runway-ready appearance requires extensive upkeep and significant out-of-pocket spending on skincare, hair, treatments, fitness, and grooming. Typical pre-show costs can total roughly $2,000 for products, facials, classes, and grooming services. Routines may include luxury cleansers and creams, two $200 facials per week, Pilates memberships around $450 per month with multiple reformer classes, and bootcamp sessions near $43 each. During shows, walking 10,000 steps often replaces formal workouts. Pre-show grooming frequently includes $150 manicures and up to $500 cuts and color, adding notable expenses before earning a paycheck.
