From the sweep of a winged eye to the hush of a nude lip, the Fall/Winter 2025 runways revealed contrasts that felt both modern and intimate. Coach, Gucci and Prada played up volume, frizz and texture, with a high-fashion touch, of course. Chanel and Dior showed us the captivating powers of eyeliner—when worked right. And on the Tod’s and Valentino runways, subtlety found its place on powdered pouts.
Ahead, discover the biggest beauty trends we gleaned from the runway shows of the Fall/Winter 2025 season.
LINES OF SIGHT
Statement eyeliner emerged as a defining gesture on the Fall/Winter 2025 runways. At Chanel, eyes were framed with bold, oversized wings that carved out unmistakable drama. Dior offered sharp precision with thin, angled lines placed at the inner corners—a counterpoint to Giorgio Armani’s take, where diffused strokes blurred into a whisper.

GRAZIA Tip: For picture-perfect eyeliner, choose opaque liquid liners over pencils or gels. Fine pen tips give the most precision and the best colour payoff—delivering that extra dose of drama.
IN THE NUDE
Nude lips took on quiet power this season, explored in subtle variations across the runways. At Hermès, lips were dusted in ashy berry tones, while Valentino favoured muted peach and pink hues for a polished, understated palette. Tod’s embraced a barefaced mood with natural matte finishes—echoed in the effortless minimalism at Onitsuka Tiger.
GRAZIA Tip: When searching for your perfect nude, reach for traditional matte bullet lipsticks. Their soft, blendable finish lends nuance to neutrality.
WILD AND FREE
If Spring/Summer 2025 flirted with nonchalance through shaggy, lived-in hair, the new season revelled in unbridled texture. At Coach and Gucci, frizz and natural movement weren’t tamed or tucked away but celebrated in full view. At Prada, bigger was better: hair was backcombed to dramatic heights, amplifying volume for unapologetic impact.
GRAZIA Tip: Whether working with second-day hair or seeking extra dimension, scrunch sections with a volumising spray for long-lasting hold.
HAIR ON SLEEK
On the opposite end, restraint took centre stage, with several maisons finding beauty in the discipline of glossy, slick-backed hair. At Brunello Cucinelli, minimalist ponytails and taut braids echoed the collection’s modern meditation on harmony and ease. Acne Studios embraced severity: side parts hardened with gel to a near-lacquered sheen, for stark, architectural precision.
GRAZIA Tip: Take extra care during your nighttime beauty ritual by nourishing your hair from root to tip with a hydrating cream. The result? Stronger strands, fewer split ends, and a pristine, high-shine finish.
