Liberty Ross took her beauty to the runway at the Alexander Wang fashion show at New York Fashion Week Saturday.

Liberty Ross confidently strolled down the catwalk amidst media frenzy over the cheating scandal between her husband, "Snow White and Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, and "Twilight" starlet Kristen Stewart.

The 33-year-old model rocked a white wind-breaker with a pencil skirt by Alexander Wang, who has often used models who are not regular runway walkers, using Gisele Bundchen, Shalom Harlow, and Karolina Kurkova at last season's fashion show.

"To be honest, I was totally terrified," Ross told The Cut at the show's after-party in downtown Manhattan.
"I hadn't actually been out of my house for seven weeks, so I was really anxious. But it felt amazing."

Asked of why he chose Ross to walk the runway, Alexander Wang answered,
"Because I love her and I support her."

Following her husband's shocking scandal, it was revealed that the model and actress had been long aware of their marital problem.

The mother of two children, 7-year-old Skyla and 5-year-old Tennyson, previously opened up to YOU Magazine about her struggles in settling down in the family’s new home.

Liberty Ross’ London life as a model had been successful – she was first photographed by Mario Testino at age 19, and she graced the cover of British Vogue.

Meeting Sanders, Ross got married at the tender age of 24.

“I appreciate so many things about him,” Ross said of her husband in Genlux Magazine in 2011.
“Mostly his ability to inspire and encourage.”

With her fervent love for the British director, Ross gave up her glamor and comfort to move to Los Angeles so that her husband can pursue his Hollywood dreams.

"I went from the glamour of working with Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano to living on an isolated hilltop, with my husband gone most of the time,” Ross said.

The transition itself was difficult and "isolating," Liberty Ross confessed candidly.

"I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time," the 33-year-old brunette beauty told YOU magazine.

"But moving here and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I just didn't think it would be as isolating and daunting as it turned out to be."

Living her life almost like a single mother, Liberty Ross has “been very supportive and she's been a strong single mother for the last year-and-a-half, because I haven't been around," Sanders admitted in a June interview with The Guardian.

"We rode through the really hard times and we stuck it out," Ross once said of their bond.

Though Ross has remained low key since photos of her husband's steamy make-out with Stewart were revealed, she has been rumored to have hired a celebrity divorce lawyer, reports emerged last month suggested.

While the future of her marriage with Rupert Sanders remains uncertain, Liberty Ross is rocking the runway just fine. Is this an indicator of her future independence? Only time will tell.
