As Paris Fashion Week sets the tone for global glamour, we've already picked out the key runway highlights that will define the face of the coming season. From the updated smoky eye to the intellectual slouch, we're taking a closer look at the details.
What if we looked into the future and chose our favorites for fall 2026 right now? If we analyze the makeup and hairstyles from the Paris fashion shows, we see a clear trend: bold lips, maximally relaxed ponytails, and a jewelry-like approach to styling will be in fashion.

Boho chic at the Chloé fashion show
The Chloé girl with the signature effortless style is back this season with a new look. XXL length is combined with braids woven with jewels and shells. The result is a wild, daring and incredibly sophisticated look.
Accent lips at Tom Ford
Makeup artist Lucy Bridge opted for rich pigments: purple, blue and classic red. The main feature is a completely matte texture. To enhance this effect, Lucy even added a drop of concealer on top of the lipstick and created a velvety finish that captivates the eyes.

The models' looks at the Saint Laurent show were deep and mysterious thanks to the skill of Pat McGrath. Black shadows with purple or blue highlights or a smoky gray gradient. Bella Hadid and other muses of the brand demonstrated a new reading of the classic “smoky”.

Art tattoo at the Courrèges show
Thomas de Kluiver, who was responsible for the make-up concept of the show, decided to decorate the models' bare backs with temporary tattoos. Are we in for a triumphant return of the cross-hatched designs to high fashion? It seems so.
Dior relaxed ponytails
The “slightly tousled” effect was taken to a new level by the legendary Guido Palau. At Dior, we saw low, loose ponytails with a chic Parisian accent—the perfect balance between high fashion and real-life comfort.
