What could be more enticing to behold than the visual masterpieces brought to life by designers? Beyond the main attraction of Paris Fashion Week—the latest collections and fashion masterpieces—the meticulously curated hair, nails, and makeup, flawlessly planned out for each ensemble and exhibited by top supermodels, are exceptional details we all admire and cannot overlook on the runway.
@kendalljenner for Schiaparelli
This year’s Paris Fashion Week unveiled an innovative Men’s Fall/Winter collection alongside an impressive Haute Couture Spring/Summer collection. Among the standout beauty highlights were the sleek corsets from Schiaparelli, which accentuated the lean proportions of supermodels like Alex Consani and Kendall Jenner.
Several French Maisons like Valentino and Dior showcased jaw-dropping creations on the runway, elevating beauty looks with outstanding hairstyles adorned with whimsical pins and clips that seamlessly complement the luxurious ensembles. Here’s a closer look at our favorite beauty details that captured the full essence of innovative beauty at this year’s Paris Fashion Week.
Schiaparelli
The collection from Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry featured sleek, clean hairstyles. Models’ hair were slicked back in a bun to emphasize the body-hugging corsets even more. The makeup, on the other hand, was diverse, paying attention to bleached brows, and expressive eye makeup with glittery eye temples. Lips were kept to a minimum with muted tones.

Dior
With a formal approach to the F/W collections in men, Dior’s Haute Couture collection speaks otherwise, featuring models with long braided hair in a clean updo. This look that highlighted the soft chic makeup aesthetic encapsulates the essence of the fantastical wonderland and reiterates magical glam on the runway.
@dior Chanel
Chanel’s Haute Couture show featured pared-down faces with vivid shades of lipstick—the perfect complement to the dreamy collection of separates. We love the overall clean aesthetic with a side of cherry red lips. We're all for a vintage touch!

Louis Vuitton
Pharrell's show featured diverse models with a display of flawless grooming. Every piece that went down the runway encapsulated the French Maison’s commitment to high fashion for all. The show featured a variety of haircuts for men, from buzz cuts, long and wavy, to natural curls.

Giorgio Armani
A round of applause to Giorgio Armani’s Haute Couture collection as it not only meticulously paid attention to intricate details like this headpiece but also made sure that the beauty statement would be one to remember. We love a dramatic eye—this time in a two-tone pastel combo with a winged pattern and barely-there mascara.

Miss Sohee
All of the layered crystals and pearls wouldn’t be complete without the touch of bold glam makeup to pair it with. At Miss Sohee Haute Couture S/S 25, female beauty was engraved on every piece models wore. Starting from the sharp and bold cat-liner, the flawlessly contoured and chiseled faces, to the glossy lips and '20s flapper girl-esque hair—bring on the drama!

Elie Saab
Elie Saab’s beauty expression for this collection features a light and modest approach to glam. With very little trace of makeup, models gracefully served ethereal goodness in updos, and soft pink monochromatic makeup for a refreshing and light-as-air feel on the scene.

Georges Hobeika
Modern elegance with an edge was present for Georges Hobeika's Haute Couture S/S 25 show. Most hairstyles were kept under dramatic veils, while the makeup draws you in with their interpretation of a high fashion crying banshee look.

Valentino
Maison Valentino exemplifies timeless beauty on the runway. The show highlighted age-defying beauty with a close to no-makeup style. They also presented women of age, signifying that splendors from Valentino’s Haute Couture collection embrace diversity and inclusivity.

Rahul Mishra
Sustainability is what the Rahul Mishra show presented on the runway. The show highlighted dramatic makeup that illuminated the message even further. The makeup artist lifted the girls’ eyes with glittery eyeshadow which created a more defined shape around their eyes.

Stephane Rolland
Stephane Rolland’s Haute Couture is all about sophistication. At the show, the French Maison showcased large shell buns and combed over sleek style. The makeup was in heavier detail above the eyes with bold pigments of eyeshadows, and arched brows, while soft pastels of hues below her lips and a light blend of contour around the cheeks.
