Fashion month is officially winding down, and from Paris, there’s certainly been no shortage of beauty inspiration. From the glittering eye looks at Dior S/S ’27, created by makeup artist Peter Philips, to the sultry smoky eyes at Saint Laurent by Dame Pat McGrath, the runways delivered plenty of hair and makeup moments worth admiring.
But after wandering the streets of Le Marais, along the Seine, and through the Champs-Élysées, it’s clear that Parisian style extends well beyond the runway. Whether they’re locals or in town for fashion week, Parisians know exactly how to put together an effortlessly enviable beauty look. And really, in the global capital of fashion, would you expect anything less?
This season, the classic red lip is getting a moodier update, with rich burgundies and deep mauves taking center stage. Chin-length bobs are everywhere, even as longer lengths continue to dominate in New York and London, while vivid shades of red have emerged as one of the season’s standout hair-color trends. For more street-style beauty inspiration straight from the City of Light, keep scrolling.
