The Best Paris Fashion Week S/S '27 Beauty Street Style Looks Are All About Dark Red Lips and Copper Hair
Showgoers brought their best hair and makeup looks to the City of Light.
Fashion month is coming to a close, and as I write this direct from Paris, I can assure you that there has been plenty of glam inspiration to go around. From the glitter eye details at Dior S/S '27 (courtesy of makeup artist Peter Philips) to the sultry smokey eyes at Saint Laurent (by Dame Pat McGrath) the runways had no shortage of notable makeup and hair looks to swoon over. However, as I've been wandering the streets of Le Maris, along the Seine, and through the Champs-Élysées, it's clear that Parisians (whether local or attending this season's shows) know a thing or two about turning out a enviable beauty look. I mean, this is the global headquarters of fashion—did you expect anything less?
The classic red lip has received a welcome twist this season, with moodier burgundies and deep mauves taking center stage. Chin length bobs abound, despite the longer lengths that are popular in both New York and London at the moment, and vibrant shades of red are officially one of the season's hottest hair color trends.

The Best Paris Fashion Week Beauty Street Style Looks
Burgundy 'N Bows
I adore the contrast of a fierce burgundy lip with a girlish hair bow, with a perfectly highlighted half-up, half-down style.
Go for Bold
Never mind that this style maven makes having no hair feel like the pinnacle of high fashion, but the pop of pale green on the lids is absolutely everything.
Chopped Copper
I present, the perfect chin-length bob, this time in an incredibly chic stormy copper color.
Braided Crown
Invest a bit of time with your braider and you'll be ready to flit between fashion shows like a true style icon.
Bobbed Brunette
Another perfect jawline-grazing bob! I love the added texture here, and the ultra shiny finish.
Platinum Pixie
Short hair, don't care! This perfectly toned platinum 'do is styled into the ideal textured pixie.
Oversized Braids
Braided pigtails have definitely become a fashion staple over the past few years. I'm partial to this loose, oversized pair.
Crimson Claws
Red nails will always have a front row seat at Paris Fashion Week.
Cinnamon Curls
Nothing hits like a voluminous afro, especially when the light catches in your cinnamon-red curls.
Claw It Back
The humble hair clip goes to fashion week, and honestly, it's never looked more chic.
Midnight Crop
An extra dark espresso brunette looks particularly glam when the hair just barely grazes the jawline.
Pinky Dreams
Of all the "alternative" hair colors out there, I'm partial to this cotton candy pink look.
Bang Up Job
A simple updo paired with curly bangs makes for a seriously stylish PFW moment.
Matchy Matchy
When your aubergine lip color looks this good, why not match it to your moody fall hair color?
C'est Chignon
It wouldn't be Paris Fashion Week without a flawless slicked-back chignon.
Soft Volume
The French may be known for perfectly imperfect hair, but this bouncy blowout leaves a serious impression.
A la Almond
Short square nails may be trending for fall, but you can never go wrong with a nude polish on a long almond nail.
Pony, Please
Once again, the ponytail proves it's the go-to look for fashion's most stylish show-goers.
Marvelous Maroon
Minimal makeup paired with a dark red lip will always be one of my favorite looks to wear, and see on the streets of Paris.
