With a lineup featuring Maria Grazia Chiuri, Demna and Miuccia Prada, the Milan runways saw both directorial debuts and the evolving visions of storied Houses. The collections spoke in different tunes but the beauty stayed strict and controlled, with natural and easily imitable looks. Bold glossy lips at Gucci to unruly hair that makes a bad hair day not so bad anymore, here are the beauty trends MOJEH spotlights.
Brow Game
Let your brows breathe. A simple, upward brush-through is all it takes to elevate a ‘no-makeup’ look, adding a dimension that walks the fine line between intentional and effortless. Whether you lean toward the statement thickness seen at Emporio Armani or its wispier counterpart at Fendi, autumn/winter’s brow trend allows for customisation.
High Definition
Go all out with a heavy-handed smokey eye. The runways proved there is no singular way to wear the shade: Gucci opted for the more defined while Prada made the messy seem professional. For those committed to an eccentric year, these darker depths offer the beauty rebellion they are looking for.
On The Fringe
Bangs never go out of style, they come and go as they please, always with a willing audience to try it out. For autumn/winter 2026, Milan’s runways saw a longer, more dramatic version of bangs taking centre stage. They framed the face, gave it character and managed to find manifestation in all hair types – curly locks at Anteprima, silky strands at Max Mara and Gucci growing it out and embracing the messiness. Find the bangs that work for you and don’t shy away from chopping off the length.
Only The Glossy Kind
The red lip refuses to vacate the spotlight, returning next season with a high-shine, glass-like finish. Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci championed the trend, with models carrying the look across a spectrum of both light and deep, moody contours. By pairing a hyper-glossed pout with a clean and sculpted complexion, the runways made a case for letting red reign for yet another season.
Untamed
The bed head aesthetic has graduated from a morning mishap to a runway staple, as the fashion set embraces the nonchalance of unkempt hair. Milan’s runways showcased different textures, from Moschino’s slightly ruffled crowns to the chaotic manes at Etro and Prada. This is the green light to say goodbye to the brush, encouraging a move toward a more free version of oneself.
