Haute Couture Week in the French capital served as a source of inspiration, showcasing avant-garde looks that can easily be adapted to real life.

Successful additions

Transparent veils, netted veils with dots, and headpieces in the form of floral crowns – brands Cheney and Erziak paid special attention to decorative details.

Braids

Another undeniable trend for the upcoming season. Braids styled in a crown around the head can be a perfect option for an evening look. Stylists use fake hairpieces, but if you have long, thick hair, all you need is patience and a skilled stylist.

Bow hairstyles

At the Dullaert show, models’ hair was styled into bows – a striking, original, and moderately extravagant look. This evening hairstyle is suitable for those with thick, coarse hair that has root volume and holds shape well.

Gathered hair that leaves the face open is a classic styling option for black tie and white tie events, used by many designers during Couture Week. Since these outfits are created for evening gala events, the choice is quite logical. This hairstyle does not distract from the dress, allows you to showcase jewelry, and always looks winning.

The way the hair is styled can vary – with a parting, smoothly combed, or braided and gathered at the back. If you decide to use this styling option, choose the one that suits your face shape and hair type best.
