As the world’s major fashion capitals, New York, London, Milan and Paris share one thing in common: the hustle and bustle of Fashion Week. The event serves as a bi-annual industry gathering that welcomes designers, buyers, press, global stars and anyone who celebrates fashion.
Historically, the runways and front rows have showcased some of the latest trends in fashion and beauty. Plus, the fanfare gets hotter every year with the frequent additions of global guests and industry-only events.
Fashion Week’s main spectacle will always be the clothes, but the celebrity beauty moments never go unnoticed. These sightings help capture a specific moment and stature in the rapidly evolving beauty industry—and they also function as an extension of the celebrity’s personal style. While the Fashion Week scenario has birthed endless standout looks, we have curated a selection of celebrity beauty moments that either spearheaded new trends or perfectly captured the spirit of the season.
Win Metawin: Prada Spring/Summer 2023 at Men’s Milan Fashion Week
Thai actor Win Metawin made a case for the comma haircut at the Prada Spring/Summer 2023 menswear show. His appearance marked his front row debut and introduced him to the Milan Fashion Week circuit that he is now a fixture of. For the occasion, Win sported a smooth, straight hair look with a piecey fringe that bounced over his forehead, creating a soft frame for his face. Win’s hairstyle echoed Prada’s chic runway collection, which thrived on minimalistic clothes and fringed hairstyles, but managed to retain a personal, playful charm.
Zendaya: Valentino Spring/Summer 2023 at Paris Fashion Week
Making an iconic appearance on the Valentino front row, U.S. actress Zendaya sported a vampy beauty look paired with a glittery, logo mania set. The star was covered in a sequined look from collarbone to toe, but it didn’t limit her makeup selections. Z diligently followed Fall 2022 runway makeup trends and paired warm chocolate smokey eyes with a berry lip. Her eyes, lips, and face carried a healthy glowy finish, bringing glamour to the next level.
BamBam: Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2024 at Men’s Paris Fashion Week
Thai entertainer BamBam was announced as a Louis Vuitton ambassador at the beginning of U.S. record producer Pharrell Williams’ stint as Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director. Naturally, his first front row appearance in the role was highly anticipated.
The star did not disappoint. Attending the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 show, BamBam sported a firetruck mullet with vintage-inspired studs. In 2024, the red hair craze was in full motion, so BamBam’s dye job felt on par with the zeitgeist. Plus, his playful image blended seamlessly with the house’s new narrative.
Aya Nakamura: Balmain Fall/Winter 2024 at PFW
Francophone music trailblazer Aya Nakamura is always ahead of the game in terms of fashion and beauty. For the Balmain Fall/Winter 2024 show and amid a wave of minimalism in glam spaces, the “Djadja” singer broke the mold with a semi-braided hairstyle and full-face makeup. Everybody is saying 2026 is the new 2016, but in 2024, Nakamura was already making a case for 2016 glam. Her take? Ultra-bronzed cheeks, heavy contouring, thin eyebrows and fierce smokey eyes, paired with 2020s-approved glossy lips. Hair-wise, the star put a twist on feed-in braids, going for small braids on the crown and leaving the rest of her hair fall down her shoulders in subtle waves.
Jeong Jaehyun: Prada Spring/Summer 2025 at Men’s Milan Fashion Week
Solidifying his spot as one of Prada’s most recognized ambassadors, Korean singer Jeong Jaehyun took the hottest K-beauty trends to the front rows of the Prada Spring Summer 2025 show. The “Forever Only” crooner doubled down on the Canadian tuxedo, following the denim-on-denim agenda popular during spring 2025. As for beauty, Jaehyun’s makeup included cloud matte skin and a neutral pink overlip.
Nowadays, it’s common for makeup artists to use the overlip technique to create dramatic overlined lips with a glossy finish. However, back in 2024, the trend was just taking shape, so Jaehyun’s understated take on the technique stood out for all the right reasons. Overall, the well-executed balance of matte makeup and glossy hair products makes this a memorable celebrity beauty moment.
Bad Bunny: Dior Spring/Summer 2025 at Men’s Paris Fashion Week
Puerto Rican icon Bad Bunny swapped his eclectic styling for a minimalistic look at the Dior Spring Summer 2025 show. From head to toe, his look was monochromatic and heavily relied on neutral colors. The “DtMF” singer kept his hair close and cropped, mirroring the boldest ‘90s heartthrobs. Yet, the lived-in beard and cola lenses put a playful spin on the beauty, for a signature Bad Bunny appearance.

Jennie Kim: Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2025 at Haute Couture Week
During Paris Couture Week SS25, Korean rapper Jennie Kim and nail artist Park Eunkyung (you probably know her as Unistella) teamed up to create true trendsetting nails. One of Jennie’s standout manicures was the water droplet nail set that she sported to the Jean Paul Gaultier front row. Jennie’s dress dripped with crystal embellishments, so the nails, kept ultra long and transparent to simulate dripping water as a nod to the runway siren theme, felt one with the outfit. We’ll remember this as a true master manicure for the books!
Afra Saraçoğlu: Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2025 at PFW
Trust Turkish actor Afra Saraçoğlu to deliver a beauty statement on the front row. At the Balenciaga Fall-Winter 2025 show, Saraçoğlu brought back the ’90s supermodel look. Her glam consisted of a grey cut crease, burnt rose lip, and a fluffy blowout. The look was a quintessential ‘90s throwback, mixed with modern techniques like fresh skin and feather brows. This remains a true chef’s kiss moment from Paris Fashion Week and we’ll continue to talk about it for years.
Felix Lee: Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2026 at PFW
The Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2026 show marked a pivotal beauty moment for Korean rapper Felix Lee, who, until this appearance, was instantly recognized in the front row for his icy blonde locks. On this occasion, Felix switched things up, sporting a rose gold hair dye and leveling up the shirtless trend. The pivot perfectly complemented his white leather jacket and complexion. Keep in mind, Felix had just landed a handful of new brand partnerships with Korean beauty giants Hera Beauty and TAMBURINS. So, the moment also marked the singer’s big introduction to the world as a beauty brand ambassador.
Orm Kornnaphat: Dior Spring/Summer 2026 at PFW
The hime, also known as the Japanese royal hairstyle, made the rounds among celebrities in 2025. While A-listers mostly opted for the bold hairstyle on the red carpets, Thai actor Orm Kornnaphat embraced it on her return to Paris Fashion Week. Departing from the unconventional styling that generally accompanies this look, Orm paired the clean layered hairstyle with a feminine white dress, a denim jacket and pastel-colored accessories.
Now, if you need a quick 101 on the hime, this is a haircut featuring a blunt frontal fringe, a face-framing section of hair that generally reaches the chin or higher and the rest of the hair left long and freely falling down the shoulders. It’s definitely not a look for everybody and only the boldest stars (think of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus) pull it off. Orm joined the list with a fleeting rendition of the hime hairstyle that we won’t get tired of talking about until she delivers her next front row stunner.
Jenna Ortega: Givenchy Spring/Summer 2026 at PFW
Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega attended the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2026 show, wearing her personal formula for vampy glam. The screen darling sported a loose bouffant, cherry lips, rosy eyeshadow and bleached brows. Usually, makeup artists wouldn’t pair a bleached brow with vampy makeup, but Ortega has mastered the art of goth in all its forms and knew exactly how to rock this hyperfeminine, but gothic glam.
Freen Sarocha: Valentino Spring/Summer 2026 at PFW
Last year, the torn bangs trend made it big amongst celebrities for being a chic, yet low-maintenance alternative to bangs. Whether straight or curly, torn bangs are layered cuts on the front fringe and face-framing hair. These harsh edges create the appearance of faux tears in the hair—quite the cool girl look if you ask us.
Among the screen icons donning the look, Thai actress Freen Sarocha showed us how to elevate the trend for the front row. Her hairstyle at the Valentino SS26 show in Paris softened the choppy front layers with waves, demonstrating how the trend can morph with different styling.
Sho Hirano: Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2026 at Men’s PFW
Japanese actor Sho Hirano put his spin on frosted tips for the first Fashion Week of 2026. Traditional frosted tips reached a peak in popularity during the ‘90s for being an easy way to lighten hair. Unlike a full set of highlights, frosted tips require lightening only the ends of the hair. This dip dye technique is made for quick hair changes and minimal scalp damage. Thus, the trend became a staple among ‘90s boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and ‘NSync.
Hirano revived the ‘90s relic with a spin: reversed frosted tips. The heartthrob sported an icy blonde frock with charcoal grey tips, offering a unique twist on the hairstyle. Bonus points for presenting a color-coordinated front, matching his hair with his tailored outfit. We love to see a stylish man!
Connor Storrie: Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2026 at Men’s PFW
Much has been said about Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie’s hair. From comparisons to Greek art to debates about why fans love a curly hairstyle so much, Storrie’s blond mane has sparked all sorts of conversations.
For his Fashion Week debut at the Saint Laurent SS26 show, Storrie embraced the rock-and-roll chic of bygone eras. In fact, pictures of rock legends’ mythical hairdos were in the moodboard for the occasion. The result? A lived-in, ‘80s-leaning hair look that paired with minimal skin products and a broad-shoulder suit delivered an impactful front row debut.

Milk Pansa: Men’s Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026
Thai actress Milk Pansa stepped out in the streets during Paris Fashion Week FW26, flaunting shiny mermaid waves. Her near-waist-length locks have become Pansa’s signature in recent years and while the actress generally favors lived-in styles, on this occasion, she showcased her hair in uniform waves. The bounce and shine of her hair softened the geometric lines and sportswear inspiration in her Ready-to-Wear ensemble, perfectly complementing her street style moment. Although we didn’t get to see this look in the front row, we’re still adding it to the list just for how memorable it was.
Yuta Jinguji: Amiri Fall/Winter 2026 at Men’s PFW
Japanese singer Yuta Jinguji made his fashion week debut at the Amiri Fall/Winter 2026 show. The star was appointed as a global brand ambassador days prior, so fans and fashion enthusiasts were anticipating his appearance. Like his fellow countryman, Sho Hirano, Jinguji took a page from the ‘90s beauty book, opting for a simple money-piece highlight on the face-framing layers. The trend grew popular in the ‘90s as a non-committal way to change up one’s hair, so paired with skinny frames, Jinguji’s beauty look sent us back in time to an era of JNCO jeans, tattoo chokers, and Dr. Martens boots.
