The Haute Couture runways never fail to leave the fashion crowd in awe. From breathtaking venues to extravagant gowns, designers strive to stand out with their unparalleled creativity and incomparable craftsmanship. However, no Haute Couture ensemble would be complete without an equally remarkable beauty look. As models grace the runways, their flawless hairstyles and stunning makeup add to the enchantment of the setting, allowing spectators to fully immerse themselves in the brand’s Couture universe.

From hair ribbons to middle parts, the Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture shows gave us all the hair inspiration we need for a new look this year. And, although we may not be able to pair them with dazzling gowns, these hair trends are bound to make you stand out. Whether you opt for a quick minimalist look or you enjoy an elaborate hairdo, the runways offered inspiration for all tastes and styles. Below, L'OFFICIEL highlights the chicest hair trends from the Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture runways.

Bows and Hair Ribbons

By the looks of the shows, it seems like bows and hair ribbons are here to stay. From Chanel to Jean Paul Gaultier, an outfit simply wasn't complete without a ribbon to tie back the model's hair and bring the look together.

Slicked Back

Slicked-back looks were all over the runways. Whether it's in a tight bun or sleek ponytail, these simple hairstyles can be edgy or polished, and they allow hair pieces and accessories to shine, making them a go-to for designers and stylists.

Middle parts were also all over the runways. While Gen Z has long proclaimed middle parts as the norm, high fashion brands are finding new ways to use it as a tool to elevate their collections. Highlighted with braids or accentuated with bold dye, this is an easy trend that can elevate or compliment any look.

Buns

Whether styled traditionally in the back or on each side for a more whimsical look, buns made a statement both on and off the runway. This simple yet chic hairstyle promises a sleek finish that can be easily carried from day to night, regardless of the weather.

While you can never go wrong with a classic bob, the trend is to get an even bigger chop. In the spirit of "new year, new me," consider a haircut refresh that minimizes your time spent under a blow dryer. Sitting at chin length, these short bobs look effortlessly chic no matter how they are styled.

Bangs

Blunt bangs, side bangs, wispy bangs — you name it, they were on the runway. Whether you are looking for an edgy new style or a small change to your typical haircut, bangs are the way to go. With their versatility, its no wonder they're trending this season.

Messy Look

As the grunge aesthetic makes its inevitable comeback, the messy look took over the Spring/Summer 2024 runways. Influencers and It girls have been showing off this effortlessly unpolished style—which requires more effort than it appears—both in beauty and fashion.
