Millie Bobby Brown marked her birthday with a lavish, Marie Antoinette-inspired photoshoot for her beauty brand, Florence By Mills, showcasing pastel colors and elaborate hairstyles. The celebration, and the resulting imagery, exemplifies a current trend in celebrity beauty towards playful, historically-influenced aesthetics.
The week’s beauty landscape, as curated by Vogue editors, revealed a broader shift towards softer, cooler tones. Makeup artists favored icy blues, gauzy pinks, and cool-toned silvers, often paired with strong eyeliner and either matte nude or creamy, glossy lips. This aesthetic contrasts with previous trends emphasizing warmer, bolder colors.
Singer Marina Diamandis, known professionally as MARINA, adopted an 80s-inspired makeup look, foregoing eyelash extensions to allow her eye makeup to take center stage. This choice reflects a growing movement towards more minimalist approaches to eye enhancement, prioritizing impactful color and shape over volume.
Devon Lee Carlson’s appearance at a Burberry event in London featured featherlight blue eyeshadow and a delicate pink lip, further illustrating the week’s prevailing color palette. The event itself, hosted by Burberry, underscores the fashion industry’s continued influence on beauty trends.
Hair trends likewise saw notable developments. Stylists incorporated hair bows and decorative clips into looks, extending beyond traditional red carpet styling. Gracie Abrams, attending the BAFTAs with boyfriend Paul Mescal, debuted a raven-colored “bixie” – a blend of a bob and a pixie cut – a hairstyle gaining traction among celebrities.
Vogue’s ongoing “Beauty Marks” series encourages audience participation, inviting readers to vote for their favorite looks via an associated app. This interactive element highlights the increasing role of social media and direct consumer engagement in shaping beauty trends.
