The 11 Biggest Beauty Moments From the Fall 2021 Couture Runways

From punk braids to fairytale blush, these are the best beauty moments from couture week.

In an era when glamour is experiencing a long-awaited renaissance, this week’s hair and makeup looks stirred imaginations and reinforced nostalgic trends in an all-encompassing reminder that exaggerated aesthetics don’t just endure when tempered for a time—they thrive upon revival. From crowns of curlers to multi-dimensional nails, these eleven moments prove that beauty is back in a big way.
