But Kendall Jenner's name was left off the model list, and fans spotted this strange omission before the show even began.

The likes of Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, Tyra Banks, Ashley Graham, Adriana Lima and Bella Hadid were all in attendance to stomp down the pink runway.

Fans and critics of the Kardashian-Jenner clan took to social media to note how Kendall's name was not included.

"Where's Kendall?" asked one.

Fans and critics of the model were quick to speculate why Kendall was not on the confirmed models, with conflict of interest and anxiety among the reasons.

STRICT CONTRACTS

One person wrote: "Kendall is modeling for L’Oréal and Tommy Hilfiger now.";

Another echoed: "Maybe her contract with L'Oreal excludes her from participating in the show?"

TOO ANXIOUS?

A third person then mentioned Kendall's mental health, and speculated that she was maybe "too anxious" to take part in the major televised event.

"Maybe she felt a little overwhelmed and decided to opt out," said a fourth.

Kendall previously revealed that she has suffered from anxiety since she was seven years old, and opened up about her current anxiety struggle back in May.

Speaking to Vogue, Kendall said, "I’m way more anxious than usual. So I’m not going to sit here and act like everything’s perfect.

"That’s life – I’m always going to be in and out of those feelings.

"In past interviews, when someone’s asked me about my mental state, it’s always been, ‘I’m great right now, but this is what I’ve dealt with.’ Well, right now I’m actually in it."

According to , Kendall most likely did not appear due to her contract with Calvin Klein Underwear, which would ban her from modeling for other competing brands.
