The Best in Beauty at Paris Fashion Week

Ami Suzuki and Aya Suzuki of Amiaya attend the Stella McCartney Womenswear Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on March 04, 2024 in Paris, France. .

Fashion Month is a hallowed holiday for fashion and beauty lovers everywhere. It's a time when our favorite designers unveil new collections, legendary makeup artists create museum-worthy art on models' faces (like Pat McGrath's history-making makeup for Maison Margiela), and, of course, stylish attendees redefine street style with their innovative ensembles. This year's Paris Fashion Week is already rife with beauty inspiration in particular: Models and attendees alike are championing recent beauty fads like baby braids and ombré lips, and others are bringing new trends into the fold, like voluminous hair and bleached brows. Overall, the verdict among attendees seems to be that minimalism is out and maximalism—with all its bold colors, shimmering glitter, and blunt edges—is here to stay.

Ahead, the beauty moments at Paris Fashion Week that'll inspire you to go bold this season.

Bright-Colored Hair

Her thick black headband accentuated that contrast and tied her bright hair in with the neutrals dominating the rest of the ensemble. (Image credit: Claudio Lavenia/Getty Images)
Ami Suzuki and Aya Suzuki, who form the music duo Amiaya, often appear in matching fashion and beauty. The Stella McCartney show on March 4 was no different—the musicians arrived in matching fuschia bobs that matched their matte lipstick.

Braids for Days

If Taylor Swift's recent hairstyles are any indication, braids are certainly back—a trend that we can see all over celebrity style and the streets of fashion week alike.

At the Marine Serre show on March 4, French singer Davinhor Pacman wore her braids in a towering style that lent her several extra inches in height. Because the look swept all her hair out of her face, it accentuated her high cheekbones, shimmery highlighter, and nostalgic ombré lip. (Image credit: MIGUEL MEDINA/AFP via Getty Images)
