If you can't wear sunscreen to block out the rays, try body paint.
Three models will be appearing today and tomorrow as part of the A La Naturelle fashion event at the 78th Royal New Zealand Show at Canterbury Agricultural Park.
First time body-paint models Casey Reddington, 17, (dressed as a vegetable patch) and Natalie Wolfsdorf, 20, (dressed as an equestrian) said they were excited to bare all for the waiting crowds.
Wolfsdorf, from Los Angeles, who is a model and studying mass communications at Canterbury University, said she was slightly nervous, whilst Reddington said she was fighting the urge to cover her chest with her hands.
Leada Elphick, 18, who has modelled in body paint before, was "dressed'' as a cabbage tree.
Designer and body-painter Koa Minifie said the native tree inspiration came from, "the Canterbury Plains and the view outside my window''.
