I was totally terrified!' Liberty Ross didn't leave the house for seven weeks before storming the catwalk at New York Fashion Week

With her confident stride and the look that said 'I'm back', Liberty Ross looked nothing short of striking as she sashayed down the catwalk yesterday at New York Fashion Week.
However, beneath the supermodel antics and bold swagger lurked a 'terrified' girl - in fact she had spent seven weeks hiding out at home ahead of the fashion event.
Liberty's return to the spotlight marked her first modelling job following the Kristen Stewart scandal that has threatened to rock her marriage with director Rupert Sanders.

Back to the day job: Liberty Ross models for Alexander Wang Spring 2013 collection at New York Fashion Week

The brunette model was seen strutting down the runway, just 48 hours after the Twilight actress made her first red carpet appearance on Thursday, since news of the affair broke six weeks ago.
Liberty, 33, revealed: 'I was totally terrified.'

 

Speaking to The Cut at the show's after party, she said: 'I hadn't actually been out of my house for seven weeks so I was really anxious. But it felt amazing.'
The British beauty looked almost extraterrestrial with her razor sharp cheekbones and quirky white windbreaker-meets-pencil skirt creation for the Alexander Wang Spring 2013 collection.

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old fashion designer gushed about his decision to use Ross in his show, saying he invited her to walk for him 'because I love her and I support her'.
The mother-of-two wore plastic buckles wrapped around each leg just below the knee and fortunately was given chunky heels to sashay down the runway in rather than skinny sky-high stilettos.
Liberty also had an unusual headdress from the tip of her forehead running down her centre-parting.
Highlighting her natural beauty, Ross seemed to go relatively make-up, with just a ghostly foundation.
Earlier this week, Kristen was seen gracing the Toronto Film Festival in Canada to promote her new film On The Road.

Can they last the distance? Liberty, pictured here at the Snow White And The Huntsman premiere in May, has still not revealed whether she will remain married to Rupert

She followed up the appearance with a photocall yesterday, candidly answering a question about her and estranged boyfriend Robert Pattinson, saying: 'We're going to be fine'.
The actual question was in reference to the twosome promoting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 side-by-side in November, rather than the current status of their romance.
Liberty has been a little more 'vocal' about her relationship, by stepping out on several occasions minus her wedding ring.
Six weeks ago, pictures emerged of Kristen in the arms of the Snow White And The Huntsman filmmaker. She was seen clearly cheating on long-term lover Pattinson as she kissed Sanders.
Meanwhile, R-Patz is also soldiering on from the drama, having done the television sofa rounds for new David Cronenberg film Cosmopolis - and taking to the stage earlier this week at the MTV VMAs.
