Getting Ready With

Audrey McGraw Reunited With Gwyneth Paltrow At The Michael Kors Show

Oh, to be embraced by Mrs. Goop herself.

It’s a rarity to find someone born in the 21st century that has an old soul like Audrey McGraw does. Even though she’s just 23 years old, she embodies the spirit of a bygone era with her timeless beauty (clock the Rita Hayworth reference) and her decidedly low-key approach to, say, sitting front-row at the hottest ticket in town. That ticket is for the Michael Kors Collection show, which always has the best front row of the week — other attendees include NYLON faves like Suki Waterhouse, Kelsea Ballerini, Delilah Belle, and Ashtin Earle, to name but a few — and McGraw also gave herself a bit of calm by way of a Gwyneth Paltrow hug (we should all be so lucky).

But before she took in the ultra-casual, gorgeous show, McGraw took a few selfies for us using her best vintage-inspired filter. The results feel like something we’d see on our Instagram feed circa 2011 in the best way possible. Below, see how she got ready, imbibed in a little pre-noon mimosa, and chose the perfectly smudged red lip to counter her smudged glen-plaid dress.
