Publicist spotted edgy model, just after the start, with hairstyle intended to reveal neck (4)
I believe the answer is:
updo
'publicist spotted edgy model just after the start' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'hairstyle intended to reveal neck' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hairstyle' could be 'do' (a hairdo) and 'do' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'up' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for updo that I've seen is " Hairstyle".)
