First fashionable face (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in front

'first' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fashionable face' is the wordplay.
'fashionable' becomes 'in' (in can mean fashionable or trendy).
'face' becomes 'front' (synonyms).
'in'+'front'='IN FRONT'

(Other definitions for in front that I've seen before include "Ahead" , "Leading" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
