Runway Show Prep in Lahore – A Complete Guide for Models

Runway shows in Pakistan, especially in Lahore Fashion Week and other fashion events across Karachi, Islamabad, and Faisalabad, are slowly returning to normal. However, models still need to be professional and prepared to succeed.

At Native Modeling Agency (Lahore Modeling Agency), we always remind our models that preparation is the key to success. Whether you’re walking in front of a limited audience, performing in a virtual fashion show, or participating in a full-scale event, your professionalism makes all the difference.

Every runway show is unique, but here are the essential steps every model in Lahore should follow to get ready.

Week of the Show

Mani/Pedi

Keep your nails clean and polished in neutral or clear shades. Avoid bright colors or heavy designs unless requested by the designer.

Hair Removal

Wax or shave your legs, underarms, and bikini line (if required for swimwear or lingerie). If waxing, do it at least two days before to avoid irritation.

Skin Tone & Tan

Unlike Western shows where spray tans are popular, in Pakistan, designers often prefer natural skin tones. Only go for a tan if specifically requested.

Eat Clean

Stick to a healthy, balanced diet to avoid bloating or skin issues. Avoid junk food, oily snacks, and soft drinks during this week.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water. Hydration improves skin glow and keeps your energy levels high during rehearsals and shows.

Cut Alcohol

Cutting alcohol is essential before a runway show. It prevents puffiness and keeps your skin clear.

Maintain Workouts

Continue light workouts or yoga to stay fit, confident, and energized.

Practice Your Walk

Practice your runway walk daily. If you know you’ll be wearing heavy bridal dresses or flowy gowns (common in Pakistani bridal fashion shows), rehearse with similar outfits to master your balance.

Night Before the Show

Pack Your Model Bag

Always keep a professional model bag ready with nude undergarments, makeup essentials, hairpins, wipes, and heels. This ensures you’re prepared for any last-minute changes.

Wash Your Hair

Wash your hair the morning before the show. Don’t use heavy styling products—keep it clean and natural.

Check Nails

Remove old polish and apply a nude or clear coat. Never arrive with chipped nails.

Pamper Your Skin

Cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize your skin. Stick to products you’ve already tested—avoid experimenting with new skincare items last minute.

Know the Venue

Research the venue in advance, whether it’s a Lahore hotel ballroom, Karachi convention hall, or an Islamabad fashion studio. Always plan your travel time and arrive early.

Day of the Show

Arrive Natural

Arrive with clean skin and no makeup unless requested otherwise. The makeup team prefers a natural base.

Dress the Part

Wear loose, comfortable clothes and nude undergarments. Avoid tight clothing that can leave marks on your skin.

Be Professional

Keep your phone aside backstage. Focus on rehearsals, listen to instructions, and respect the production team.

Eat Smart

Carry healthy snacks, as food is not always provided for models.

Stay Calm

Expect last-minute fittings, makeup changes, or delays. Patience and professionalism make you stand out.

Enjoy the Moment

This is your time to shine. Confidence, grace, and a positive attitude will leave a lasting impression on designers and photographers.
