"Palm Tree" Ponies, Pigeon Nails, & More Beauty Looks From Paris Couture Week
"Another decade-old hair trend getting a shoutout? Feathers - but not the neon-striped plumes of the 2010s. At Valentino, inky black extensions added texture rather than color, blending into a shaggy mullet for a raven-like effect. Feather scrunchies also popped up at Chanel, similar to the the ostrich style Kim Kardashian wore to an All's Fair premiere. Consider this your sign: Feathers are going to be spring's hottest statement hair accessory."
"If it wasn't the '80s or 2010s, couture looked to '60s for glam inspo. Twiggy-style eyes stole the show at Ronald van der Kemp - think baby blue matte shadow for a pop of color, clumpy top and bottom mascara (a non-negotiable), and white liner in the waterline to make models' eyes appear larger and doll-like. Apricot blush and lips tied the look together, keeping it cohesive and true to the era's most iconic color pairing."
"Avian inspiration was everywhere, from scalp to fingertip - literally. Ama Quashie, the manicurist for the Chanel Show, told British Vogue that designer Matthieu Blazy taped photos of birds on the wall for reference, including "ordinary pigeons." These gray and purple holographic nails tap into that moment when a pigeon flaps its wings and you can see the shine come through. Even if they gross you out, you have to admit the color palette is perfection. In fashion, it's the year of the bird."
Feathers reappear as a statement hair accessory, from inky black extensions blended into shaggy mullets to feather scrunchies and ostrich-style accents. The halo smoky eye returns with grunge-yet-precise blending for a sultry but controlled finish. Sixties-inspired Twiggy eyes employ baby-blue matte shadow, clumpy top-and-bottom mascara, and white waterline liner paired with apricot blush and lips. Avian motifs extend to nails, with gray and purple holographic finishes that mimic pigeon iridescence; designers referenced bird imagery directly during styling. Bold blush continues, with heavy bubblegum-pink placement that creates an exuberant, youthful flush across the face.
