3 Runway Beauty Trends to Try This Season
As we embrace spring and transition to lighter outfits, it’s the perfect moment to refresh our beauty routines. This season emphasizes subtle expressions that make a significant impact. Borrowing from the spring/summer 2025 runways and making waves on the streets, the key beauty trends combine elegance with playful hues and understated luxury.
From radiant skin reminiscent of a Botticelli muse to candy-colored eyes and hair accessories that serve as eye-catching conversation pieces, these luxurious beauty trends feel just as current now as they did on the runway. Here are three looks inspired by the runway that you can recreate this spring—no backstage access needed.
01. Renaissance Glow
Forget the elusive, super-dewy flawless skin; ‘renaissance glow’ focuses on achieving a natural radiance that showcases imperfections beautifully. This look was showcased by brands like Loewe, ANDREĀDAMO, and Brandon Maxwell. Start with a healthy base using Merit’s Instant Glow Serum, known for its weightless feel and ability to enhance skin’s radiance while plumping and brightening.
Follow this with Chantecaille’s Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer, which offers a sumptuous texture along with calming and hydrating benefits. For those feeling bold, try pairing it with the trending ‘renaissance brow’—essentially bleached brows, seen on several celebrities and at Valentino’s Haute Couture show.
02. Luxurious Accessories
Runway shows featured chic bows, sculpted pins, and golden cuffs that elevated simple hairstyles. Even a low ponytail can take on an extra flair with the right decor. Luisa Beccaria’s delightful collection showcases this trend perfectly. At Carolina Herrera, Wes Gordon embraced maximalism with vibrant yellow floral hair accessories complementing the outfits.
We adore this oversized silk bow hair clip by Jennifer Behr to infuse effortless elegance into any attire. Alternatively, consider this grand 18kt gold hair pin for a luxurious touch.
03. Soft Pastels
Pastel shades dominated the runways this season, featuring soft pinks at Dries Van Noten, gentle blues at Marques Almeida, and lilac hues at Coperni. Models sported fresh faces with bright whites on the waterline and often skipped mascara.
Try applying Chanel’s Ombre Essentielle or Victoria Beckham Beauty’s EyeWear Longwear Eyeshadow Stick across the entire lid for a vibrant pop of colour, or focus the pigment on the inner corner for a subtler effect.
