NEW YORK
ALEXANDER WANG
Major cat-eye wings took centre stage at Alexander Wang, and there's something wonderfully retro about it.
MICHAEL KORS
Sun-striped faces graced the Michael Kors runway to give a beautifully bronzed, desert-esque makeup look.
PRABAL GURUNG
Forget clean-girl sleekness, imperfect centre partings were the beauty moment at Prabal Gurung.
ALTUZARRA
The deeply side-parted, swept-over, voluminous hair of the Altuzarra woman is making all of our '80s beauty dreams come true.
CYNTHIA ROWLEY
There is something beautifully ethereal about the matte, rose-tinted lips at Cynthia Rowley. It's giving Bridgerton in all of the best ways.
CHRISTIAN COWAN
Geometric bobs, where one side hangs lower than the other, weren't on our 2026 comeback trend bingo card, but Christian Cowan proved we should expect the unexpected next season.
OFF-WHITE
Stained lips are clearly proving a thing for spring/summer 2026. The '90s brown hues seen at Off-White, which might typically be reserved for autumn, had a balmy sort of finish that makes the look perfect for spring/summer.
RALPH LAUREN
The beauty look at Ralph Lauren was dominated by one thing: seriously glossy hair. Forget lived-in texture, spring/summer 2026 is set to shine.
TIBI
Tibi's slicked-back bun is undeniably elegant, with not a single hair out of place. Note the lack of parting in this style—a move away from the centre-parted, "clean-girl" style we have seen dominate in recent years.
KHAITE
Junior beauty editor Grace here, jumping in to run through the last couple of days, starting with Khaite's mist-covered runway. This half-up, half-down hairstyle was spotted throughout the show and is the perfect way to show off those oversized sunnies next season.
ULLA JOHNSON
Ulla Johnson proving that subtle shimmer is back in a big way for spring/summer 2026.
SANDY LIANG
The hair look at Sandy Liang was undeniably chic, featuring a glossy bob, a side part and a statement clip.
JASON WU
Glowing skin is still very much in according to Jason Wu.
COACH
The Coach runway was dominated by wispy fringes and chic curtain bangs. It looks like a trip to the hairdressers is on the cards for spring/summer 2026.
BIBHU MOHAPATRA
I'll be dreaming of this statement eyeshadow look and slicked-back hairstyle for many months to come.
TORY BURCH
Side partings and swept-over fringes have definitely been a dominating style during New York Fashion Week.
PATBO
The PatBo show was all about statement blusher, proving that this trend is going nowhere next season.
FREDERICK ANDERSON
I've noticed pops of purple all over the runways this year, especially when it comes to eyeshadow.
ELENA VELEZ
A NYFW draws to a close, we spotted smudged eye makeup and white lashes and brows at the Elena Velez show.
LAQUAN SMITH
Wet-look hair is forecasted as a key SS26 hair trend, going by the hair moments at Laquan Smith this season.
LONDON
HARRIS REED
With makeup artistry led by team Charlotte Tilbury, headed up by global artistry director, Sofia Tilbury, the look at Harris Reed was all doll-like glamour and film noir references with a slightly punky twist.
MITHRIDATE
The preppy vibes at Mithridate are all I've been able to think about. From the hair flicks and fridges to the baby-pink makeup accents, everything was perfection.
BORA AKSU
Bushy brows, delicately clumped lashes and narrow, doll-like lipstick? Bora Aksu, you win.
DI PETSA
Di Petsa was all grungy hair and lived-in makeup.
YUHAN WANG
Frosted lips and icy highlight might typically be reserved for winter looks, but this delicate makeup look at Yuhan Wang proves it's a must-try for summer, too.
TOGA
Clumpy lashes are already proving somewhat of a spring/summer trend for next year, and combined with this sunset yellow lid, the look is total perfection.
ROKSANDA
If ever a London Fashion Week beauty look was to stop you in your tracks, it would be this frame of beauty via Roksanda. The most iconic element? Hair with a high-gloss finish and graphic lines were created by Anna Cofone and Authentic Beauty Concept.
RICHARD QUINN
In true Richard Quinn form, romantic and elegant chignons led the way.
TOVE
Fresh, buttery, glowing skin took centre stage at Tove, thanks to prep with 111 Skin.
EMILIA WICKSTEAD
While skin as a whole seems to take a backwards step this season in favour of heavier makeup looks, this glass-skin vibe, created with Eve Lom, at Emilia Wickstead is undeniably beautiful.
MARQUES’ ALMEIDA
This dishevelled bob, as seen at Marques' Almeida, has been living rent-free in my brain ever since laying eyes on it for the first time.
SIMONE ROCHA
As someone who despises styling my own hair, the slightly messy, adolescent, youthful vibes created by Bumble and bumble at Simone Rocha are everything.
ERDEM
Authentic Beauty Concept and Erdem proved that textured hair isn't going anywhere. Each model was set down the runway with a hairstyle that worked with and amplified natural texture, helped with an addition of sea salt spray.
Conner Ives
At Conner Ives, MAC drew inspiration from different eras of beauty that resulted in an eclectic moment from model to model. Note the frosted lips and bleached brows.
SUSAN FANG
Authentic Beauty Concept crafted perfectly undone hair at Susan Fang, where the tendrils often covered half of the models face. Makeup was pared-back, with just a fine, holographic ribbon accent framing the eyes.
BURBERRY
The SS26 show was quintessentially Burberry, with loose waves and "no-makeup" makeup that kept the look understated yet polished.
ASHISH
Ashish was a celebration of individuality and bright colour alike. Eyes were framed in Cleopatra blue, lips were bedazzled with glitter shimmer made its way into blush and even the contour in every colour of the rainbow.
NANUSHKA
Celebrity hairstylist Larry King created effortlessly undone, cool-girl waves at Nanushka, which perfectly complemented the minimal makeup look.
MILAN
DIESEL
Glowing skin took centre stage at Diesel, but this choppy bob is all I can think about.
JIL SANDER
Bobs really are dominating the runway in Milan this year. This micro, flicky style was spotted at Jil Sander.
FENDI
I love the contrast between this sharp side parting and soft pink lip.
MISSONI
This feathered bob and oversized earring combo lives rent free in my head.
KNWLS
KNWLS announced the return of the graphic eyeliner look for next season.
MAX MARA
The Max Mara show was all about these vintage-looking, voluminous updo hairstyles.
PRADA
Meanwhile, Prada embraced this sleek, wet-look hairstyle.
EMPORIO ARMANI
The glowing skin really stole the show at Emporio Armani.
MOSCHINO
According to Moschino, next season will see a big focus on tousled waves.
ROBERTO CAVALLI
The hair at Roberto Cavalli was all fluff and flyaways—perfect imperfection.
SPORTMAX
I basically haven't been able to stop thinking about this diffused berry lip ever since the Sportmax show.
BLUMARINE
Smoky tightlining is officially back for S/S 26, according to Blumarine.
TOD'S
This is the stuff slicked-back-bob dreams are made of.
VERSACE
A deep side-part and swept-over volume dominated the hair game at Versace.
BOTTEGA VENETA
Everyone in the Who What Wear UK office is very into the soft smoky eye debuted at Bottega.
GIORGIO ARMANI
Yes, there were pinned-up chignons, but it's la dolce vita, Italian-style lashes I can't get enough of.
PARIS
SAINT LAURENT
You can always rely on Saint Laurent for a grungy eye and dewy highlight, but the grungy bun? That's a new addition, and I'm obsessed.
LANVIN
Balmy skin paired with a thick headband? A summer beauty dream.
DRIES VAN NOTEN
Dries was all micro fringes and micro plaits—sometimes together, sometimes separately, but always delightful.
STELLA MCCARTNEY
Stella McCartney was a balmy-lipped, balmy-skinned, ruffled-hair feast for the eyes.
CHRISTIAN DIOR
We've waited a long time for this, and the day finally arrived—Jonathan Anderson's womenswear debut for Christian Dior was every bit as perfect as we had hoped. My beauty-director highlight? The free-flowing waves and subtly rouged cheeks.
Gabriela Hearst
Gabriela Hearst gave us all of the throwback vibes with this pop of blue shimmery eyeshadow.
TOM FORD
Tom Ford's global makeup artist, Lucy Bridge, created the most stunning lacquered lip look in this deep red hue.
BALMAIN
Meanwhile, it was all about these statement side fringes at Balmain.
ISABEL MARANT
Tousled waves were everywhere at Isabel Marant.
LOEWE
Loewe announced the return of the wet-look hairstyle.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
Lucia Pica created a "lived-in" eyeliner look for Victoria Beckham, using the new Cocoa Pavé Satin Kajal Jewel Liner from Victoria Beckham Beauty.
HERMÈS
I spotted lots of glowing skin looks accompanied by subtly glossy lips at Hermès.
VALENTINO
These oversized earrings at Valentino were stunning, but it's the perfectly tousled curtain bangs that stole the show for me.
