Y2K WET LOOK
At Fendi, Kim Jones showed off his naughties best with slick, wet hair and a deep side part — pinned to the side using a gaudy gold barrette. If you’re still emotionally invested in all things nostalgic, consider this a trend to try — you won’t even need a hair dryer to emulate it.

Good, Clean Fun
Sometimes less is more, as proven by Bella Hadid at Max Mara. As much as we love a bold beauty moment, there is just something to be said for clean, glossed skin, fresh cheeks, fluffy brows and a bare lash. If you thought the “clean” look was stuck in 2021, think again.

Curls, curls, curls
Moschino never fails to show us the brighter side of beauty, this season’s fantastical, fairytale-inspired collection no different. from finger curls to frilly lashes framed with think black wings, the show was a celebration of bold beauty. Consider us rediscovering our liquid liner after this.

BLEACHED BROWS, BOLD EYES
It simply wouldn’t be Versace without a smoky, sultry, sooty eye. But this year, things were taken up a notch with bleached brows. The juxtaposition of light and shade was weirdly beautiful, and might even mark the departure from thick, heavy, sculpted eyebrows? For now, we’re swapping out the brow gel for black kohl liner and a vampy shade of lipstick.
