Toupees originated in the 18th century, with the name developing from the French toupet, meaning tuft of hair. They became particularly prominent in the mid-20th century, with Time magazine estimating that more than 2.5 million men across the US were wearing toupees by 1970.
Yes, the purply-pink hue of a 1990s mother-of-the-groom's duster coat is now the height of chic on cheeks, lips and even eyes. It's just euphemistically called cool toned, which in practice translates as traditional nude makeup tones such as dark brown, caramel, taupe, pink and beige, customised with a mild mauvey tinge to reduce their respective temperatures.
Like those, it scours our culture's incessant preoccupation with physical beauty, both the lusting for it and the lengths we will go to get and keep it. But The Beauty possess a mind of its own as it expounds on rich themes that Murphy's been interested in, mixing humor with black humor while he comments on sinfully glamorous lifestyles and the dark side of human nature and desire.
It's Stephen! It's Stephen. And here they all come to chat a load of bollocks. So said Jessie Roux all the way back in episode four, spewing truth bombs while wearing sweetcorn-yellow eyeshadow.

But instead of chasing contrast for the sake of change, it redirects that energy toward finding a color that actually works with your complexion - an individualized approach to a beauty trend that feels refreshingly rare on TikTok. The result? Hair that looks like it's made for you, even though achieving it is anything but a coincidence.
Sun-In, but all grown up. Boy blondes start with a dirty blonde base, brightened by golden balayage and babylites for a result that reads more beachy than bottle-made.

On TikTok, many people are pulling beauty inspo from these cute (and slightly creepy) toys, which were originally released in 1972. Blythe dolls have big eyes, pouty lips, and perfect makeup, plus really fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories. Because there are so many versions of the doll - think a Fenty-level range of skin tones - it's said that everyone has a Blythe that looks exactly like them.
Though it's merely a line, a stripe instantly takes a plain manicure into something more playful and experimental. On TikTok, a search for "striped nails" brings up thousands of colorful results, proving that even a simple design makes a big impact.
