Sasha Pivovarova’s beauty is a given, but it’s her intensity on the runway that made her a star. Since debuting on Prada’s Fall catwalk back in 2005, Pivovarova has made a name for herself by playing up the spooky side of her alien looks and putting those wide eyes and sunken cheekbones to good use in theatrical shows for the biggest names in fashion. Though she’s malleable enough to take on any character a designer can dream up, Pivovarova is at her best when she’s playing peculiar for iconoclasts like John Galliano or Alexander McQueen. In recent years, she’s softened her severity, taking time off from the runway to become an artist, but there’s still something wonderful about seeing her vamp her way down the catwalk. Take a look back through Pivovarova’s best moments from the Style.com archives in the slideshow above.
