9 Beauty Trends from the Fall/Winter 2021 Runways
From bold lips and smokey eyes to mullet cuts and braided hair, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the beauty trends that dominated the Fall/Winter 2021 fashion shows.
The recent Fall/Winter 2021 fashion shows were dominated by eccentric and daring beauty trends. While Prada and Tom Ford proposed a throwback to the '80s with mullet cuts, other brands like Valentino, Chanel, and Versace opted for a stylish blunt-cut fringe. Makeup-wise, bold lips and vivid colored eyes swayed the runways of Giambattista Valli, Paco Rabanne, and Altuzarra. To get your dose of beauty inspiration, L'OFFICIEL rounds up nine runway beauty trends that we'll be seeing more of this year.
Bold Lips
Strong, bold lips either in bright red or even black populated the Fall/Winter 2021 collections of Moschino, Paco Rabanne, and Balenciaga.
Metallic Eyes
The sci-fi metallic eye look pervaded the Fall/Winter 2021 runways of Coperni and Giambattista Valli. At Versace, the shiny finish was also added to bright, saturated colors.
Pop of Color
Bright makeup and two-tone bright colored eyes stood out at Giambattista Valli, Molly Goddard, Vivienne Westwood, and Altuzarra. The playful approach reflects the turn towards maximalism as we anticipate the world opening up again.
Mullet Cut
Blunt-Cut Fringe
Blunt-cut bangs of all shapes, textures, and thickness were a runway staple this Fall/Winter 2021 season at Chanel, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, and Versace, among others.
Face and Body Art
Brands like Blumarine, Moschino, and Salvatore Ferragamo took beauty beyond the face with body art and embellishments applied to chest and limbs just like an accessory.
Punk Eyeliner
Smudged Smokey Eye
Another nod to the '90s grunge years, a smudged and at times soft smokey eye put a wearable spin on the racoon eye look.
Braids
Whether simple or intricate, braids swooped the runways at Fendi, Prabal Gurung, and Coperni, among others this Fall/Winter 2021.
