Everyone looks forward to the haute couture shows because the presentations have to live up to the clothes. That also applies to beauty. Designers want something dramatic that won't upstage their wares. That's a big ask of any makeup artist or hairstylist. Luckily, the Spring 2024 Haute Couture beauty looks accomplished this seemingly insurmountable feat thanks to the behind-the-scenes teams.
If you're worried the hair bow trend will run out of steam before you get up the nerve to try it, relax. The popular accessory was front and center at the haute couture shows. Christian Dior crowned models' strands with a blink-and-you-miss-it black ribbon tied into a bow. Viktor & Rolf took things up a notch by balancing bows with a top loop. But no one went bigger than Giambattista Valli where ponytails were decorated by both bows and bouquets.
