Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 is one for the books. With a record-breaking number of designer debuts (Matthieu Blazy for Chanel, Jonathan Anderson for Dior, and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for Loewe, to name a few), celebrity-stacked front rows, and late-night parties, the nine-day marathon of shows and events was monumental, to say the least. So naturally, the PFW S/S ‘26 beauty looks were equally impactful. After all, first impressions are everything, and for many top fashion houses this season, all eyes were on their runways – from the hairstyles down to the clear kitten heel pumps.

This season, there was a particular emphasis on skin. Designers like Chloé, Loewe, Dior, and Schiaparelli all went with luminous, lit-from-within complexions, but added unexpected details that made their front rows do double takes, be it a matte hot pink lip, sculpted baby blue or shimmery red eye, or soft blushed cheeks. Hairstylists were on a similar wavelength, favoring wet-look styles, tousled air-dried waves, and shiny low ponytails. Of course, it wouldn’t be PFW without some maximalist moments. At Thom Browne, models had colorful lashes and blunt bobs with a long braid down the back. Meanwhile, Leonard Paris encouraged blush blindness with shimmery fuchsia flushed cheeks.

Keep reading for TZR’s highlight reel of the best makeup and hair moments from the PFW S/S ‘26 runways.

Thom Browne’s Otherworldly Lashes

Of course the designer’s outer space-themed show included an otherworldly beauty look. The colorful lashes by lead makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench popped against radiant skin perfected by products from the show’s skin care sponsor, iS Clinical. For hair, lead artist James Pecis created striking blunt micro bobs that had baby bangs and a long braid cascading down from the back, and a few models had silver flecks added to their hair to mimic the look of moon dust.

Chloé’s Flamingo Pink Lips

Chloé’s makeup look by lead artist Yadim Carranza channeled that dewy, almost damp glow you get from getting slightly sweaty while wearing a light jacket on a warmer-than-expected spring afternoon. To achieve the effect, he used a handful of Saie complexion products, including the Dew Blush and Slip Tint Concealer. While many models had variations of this minimal makeup look, a few had a cool matte pink lip that matched the hot pink florals and flamingo print in the collection. Lead hairstylist Paul Hanlon looked to that effortless windswept texture you get from walking through the streets by giving models’ hair a lived-in look with Authentic Beauty Concept products.

Victoria Beckham’s Spontaneous Eyeliner

Haven’t mastered sharp wings and clean lines with eyeliner yet? Don’t stress. Take a cue from the makeup at Victoria Beckham, whose collection and beauty look was inspired by the spontaneous self-styling of your youth, where lead artist Lucia Pica used the Satin Kajal Liner in Cocoa Pavé for a soft, lived-in look. She added the liner to the inner corners of the eyes, then used her fingertip to slightly smudge it out. For hair, lead hairstylist Anthony Turner followed suit by giving models simple yet feminine low ponytails using Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum and ghd Chronos Max for an extra smooth and shiny finish.

Loewe’s Sculpted Complexions

For makeup artists, the face is a canvas. This was on full display at Loewe where Pat McGrath mirrored the artist Ellsworth Kelly-inspired collection with makeup that consisted of luminous skin, softly sculpted eyes, and a surprise burst of sunset hues that peeked out from under some of the model’s oversized shades. The key products that made the look possible included her Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Foundation, Concealer and Blurring Under-Eye Powder.

Rabanne’s Sunburnt Blush

You don’t need PTO to achieve a radiant, sun-kissed glow this spring. Simply reference Rabanne’s makeup look by lead artist Diane Kendal. She used the brand’s Mini Blushy Palette in Incompatibles and Almost Famous to give models’ cheeks a healthy flush, then used Colorshot in Sorry Not Sorry or My Bad to add some faux freckles for good measure. You can further lean into the beachy vibe with the show’s hair by Duffy, too. The wavy style was reminiscent of the way your hair looks air-dried after a dip in the ocean.

Schiaparelli’s Glow-In-The-Dark Eyes

Pat McGrath created three cinematic looks for Sciaparelli’s latest collection, all designed to “glow in the dark,” the makeup artist told TZR backstage at the show. One of the three was centered around angelic, luminous skin, which McGrath achieved with her Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection products. The other two had bold eyes, either radiant baby blue or searing red, created with the Gilded Nirvana: Mega Eye Shadow Palette or Mothership V: Bronze Seduction. Meanwhile, Guido Palau pulled the hair up into super sleek and shiny twisted buns.

The Row’s Hairbrushed Updos

Leave it to The Row to turn the mishap of getting your brush stuck in your hair into the most artistic hairstyle of fashion month. Hairstylist Guido Palau intentionally worked combs and pins into twisted updos for the Olsens’ latest runway show.

Leonard Paris’ ‘80s Blush

Instead of a multi-step contour routine, simply sculpted your face with draped blush like at Leonard Paris. The pretty fuchsia shade is also so apropos for spring.

Giambattista Valli’s Liquid Waves

Inspired by oil paintings, lead hairstylist Pablo Kuemin put a romantic spin on the sleek wet look hair trend by adding finger waves into the mix. When crafting the style, he used Schwarzkkopf Professional products, including the Session Label The Jelly, Session Label The Flexible, and Session Label The Coat.

Christian Dior’s Blossoming Blush

Elevate your no-makeup makeup looks with Christian Dior’s blooming blush. To create a seamless, slightly flushed complexion, Peter Philips, creative and image director of Christian Dior Makeup, applied the Forever Skin Glow Foundation in thin layers and blended the Backstage Rosy Glow Blush Stick in Rosewood or Berry to create a “veil of color.”

Vivienne Westwood’s Slept-In Waves

Punk wasn’t dead on the Vivienne Westwood runway. In addition to the matte black lips, lead hairstylist Claire Grech kept the rebellious spirit going with the bedhead waves she styled using Schwarzkopf Professional Session Label.

Paris Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2026 attendees have been going all out with their outfits, with some rather unique and statement takes on what’s hot right now. From bold patterns, color blocking, and wild accessories, the PFW street style outfits have been pushing fashion boundaries in ways that feel fresh.

Paris Fashion Week is officially underway, marking the final stop of fashion month. Of all the cities on the calendar, this has to be my favorite. Admittedly, I am biased — I’ve been a Francophile for as long as I can remember. But you don’t have to be obsessed with the culture to admit that Paris is a city known for its beauty. From the breathtaking Musée Rodin to the rolling hills of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, the city is enchanting and captivating. This energy extends to fashion week, too. Dior, Chanel, Loewe, Maison Margiela, Balenciaga, Hermès — the list of designers showing this week promises a mix of creativity, craftsmanship, and bold looks that will define the season ahead. But the runways aren’t the only place to look for stunning beauty moments; you’re sure to see them on the streets, too.

This season, the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 street style beauty looks draw inspiration from the past, with nods to ‘70s haircuts, Y2K glam, and nostalgic hair accessories. There’s no shortage of eye-catching looks, from bright hair colors and pops of highlighter to bleached brows and the quintessential fall moody lip. Guests are pulling out all the stops this season, showing off beauty looks that are just as major as their outfits.

Ahead, all of the best street style beauty moments spotted outside of the PFW S/S ‘26 shows.

Hair Beads

You may associate hair beads with childhood, but this attendee is proof that the accessory — which had its heyday during the early aughts — can be a bold and stylish statement at any age.

Pop of Highlighter

Highlighter isn’t just for summer. Whether you opt for a subtle sheen or an ethereal glow, like this PFW guest, it can add dimension to your makeup and make your features pop, no matter the season.

Orange Hair

Fall is the perfect time to debut a bold new hair color. The orange shade is fiery and cool on its own, but the wispy bangs and textured layers take it to the next level.

Bleached Brows

Bleached brows have been trending for a while, and it’s easy to understand why. The look is edgy, striking, and sure to turn heads.

Frosty Smoky Eye

With a frosty smoky eye and a two-toned lip, Argentinian singer Emilia Mernes’ makeup look is a Y2K dream.

Shaggy Mullet

The shaggy mullet haircut is effortless, cool, and full of texture, making it an ideal style for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, statement-making look.

Stitch Braids

Léna Situations stitch braided the front of her hair, leaving the rest out in loose waves for an effortlessly chic look. It’s perfect for a busy day during PFW.

Moody Lips

Take a page out of this show attendee’s book. Put the nude lipstick aside, and try out a vampy lip shade — like a deep burgundy or cherry red — instead.

Colorful Bandana

Compared to the scrunchie, the bandana is an underrated hair accessory. But stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson shows that it’s a versatile and stylish piece that can elevate any look, especially if it’s a multicolored Prada bandana.
