Designers aren't the only people to debut new looks during New York Fashion Week!

Case in point: Taylor Momsen looked pretty unrecognizable at Alice + Olivia's runway show on Monday.

Gone were her trademark kohl-rimmed eyes in favor of eye makeup that looked—gasp!—Gossip Girl glam!

Instead, the 20-year-old went for a look that was just as fresh as the spring fashions designers sent down the runway.

Momsen brought out her baby blues with neutral shadows, which she complemented with a glossy red lip. While subtle earth-tone hues tend to be reserved for the daytime, Momsen proved they can pack quite the dramatic punch when layered for a sexy smokey eye effect.

And it looks like the star's former costar Kelly Rutherford, who posed alongside the blond beauty at the fashion show, approved of Momsen's dialed-down eye makeup.

"Your eyes,your eyes...So beautiful. Taylormomsen," Rutherford wrote of the gal's stunning peepers.

But we're betting Momsen returns to her go-to Goth glam look in no time.

Her upcoming album Going to Hell with band The Pretty Reckless sounds pretty dark and probably calls for matching makeup, after all!

What do you think of Taylor's new look?
