Yesterday’s Topshop SS12 show took inspiration from Cleopatra and ancient Egypt, then of course gave it  a modern urban spin…and lots of gold!
Keeping in line with the collection, models were given a Cleopatra meets ghetto look. They sported wet look hair combed back and draped in gold leaf. Toe nails matched in metallic gold polish, while fingernails by the amazing Sophy Robson were multi-coloured and crafted with ancient Egyptian symbols over the top. Makeup was nude but sculpted with defined brows and cheekbones.
