The 4 Beauty Takeaways of Paris Fashion Week

The young women at Jacquemus strolled through a provincial town square with smooth center-parted hair that fell effortlessly down their backs.

Speaking of hats, a profusion of them flooded the runways in a panoply of shapes and sizes: monastic bonnets at Valentino, tilted fedoras at Saint Laurent, whimsical flapped caps at Loewe, and leather skull caps at Louis Vuitton, each one a good solve for a bad hair day.

From the ornate chandelier crystals at Paco Rabanne to the white horse hair tassels and shark teeth at Chloé, the metallic spiked hoops at Altuzarra to the erotic sculptures at Y/Project, the statement earring is bolder than ever, and newly accentuated by swept-back hair.

Chanel revealed Karl Lagerfeld’s final collection for the house with a loving homage to his incredible life and work. McKnight did his part in creating the chic half-back hair, embellished by black ribbons, camellias, and other pretty bijoux.
