The 18-year-old singer showed up to the event rocking her signature winged eyeliner, but only on one eye. Her other eye was red and puffy and appeared to be makeup-free. Anticipating the speculation about her appearance, Lorde posted a picture to [Instagram](https://instagram.com/p/7s%5FlriNleb/ "undefined") of her getting ready for the NYFW show that featured the unhealthy-looking eye. She captioned the photo, “one question: what happened to your eye?” After the show, she took to the photo-sharing site [again](https://instagram.com/p/7tB-wYNlUU/?taken-by=lordemusic "undefined") to further explain her condition. “The skin is peeling off my lips and hands these days i very rarely see the sun and my eye is weeping and screaming and it’s fashion week and everyone already thinks i’m strange,” she wrote. “And it’s a kanye show where the freaks are beautiful so why not say f–k it and let’s dance with the melodrama?” In a [tweet](https://twitter.com/lordemusic/status/644231623521792001?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw "undefined") also posted on Wednesday, Lorde hinted that the trouble with her eye was caused by her non-stop work schedule. “i work every night and through the weekend and my body falls apart / i go see a show / watch my good eye open slow,” she tweeted. > [](https://twitter.com/lordemusic/status/644231623521792001) However, the singer still seemed to have a great time [sitting in the front row](http://www.mtv.com/news/2272784/kanye-west-yeezy-season-2-front-row/ "undefined") at Fashion Week. “The show was crazy I got to wear sneakers and had the best bear hug from \[Drake\] and now I’m in bed in a sweater editing something cool for you guys to see very soon,” she wrote on Instagram. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4038809/lorde-eye-fashion-week/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4038809/lorde-eye-fashion-week/"},"headline":"Instagram Is Very Concerned About Lorde's Eye","datePublished":"2015-09-17T17:36:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:51.570Z","description":"\"one question: what happened to your eye?\"","url":"https://time.com/4038809/lorde-eye-fashion-week/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Kanye West","Lorde","new york fashion week","Fashion Week","singers"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5e51989a26b1bbd4/69886413524fc039fedf48d4/lorde.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5e51989a26b1bbd4/69886413524fc039fedf48d4/lorde.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Lorde","caption":"Lorde","creditText":"Kevin Mazur—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4038809/lorde-eye-fashion-week/","name":"Instagram Is Very Concerned About Lorde's Eye"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Sleep Expert Says Typical Work Day Is 'Torture'","description":"An Oxford University researcher says forcing ourselves to work before 10 a.m. doesn't line up with our bodies' circadian rhythms.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/s12Tl0P7/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-09-09T14:29:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/s12Tl0P7.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4038809/lorde-eye-fashion-week/","duration":"PT1M18S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4038809/lorde-eye-fashion-week/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
