Pay close enough attention and these NYFW beauty picks will read like trend forecasting aphorisms. With so much creative, anything-goes energy in the air, many stars treat the show and block parties as their last chance to test out what colors, patterns and textures they’ll be wearing for the rest of the year. Below, TZR’s ever-growing report of 2023 celebrity hair, makeup and nail moments.
Natasha Lyonne
Although her eyes were covered by cool square sunglasses, Leone’s instantly recognizable smile made her look right out of a Proenza Schouler show. Her voluminous “mushroom bangs” and down patted lips allowed her red hair color to command attention.
Sina Miller
Miller’s youngest daughter, Marlowe Sturridge, says she inherited a lot from her mom: fronting Proenza Schouler, a penchant for cute glasses, and the best waves of the day.
Lindsay Lohan
In head-to-toe bronze tones (which included her gorgeous red hair, partially pulled back into a retro half-up style), Lohan’s look at Christian Siriano’s show reminded the world of how a true icon works. To maximize the bronze effect, her eye shadow, makeup and even lipstick are all peach-colored and very warm.
Quinta Brunson
Ever since she stepped into the spotlight, Brunson hasn’t been afraid to experiment with fun, retro-inspired hairstyles that play off her always fun wardrobe choices. For the Rodarte show, Brunson appeared with cool faux-bangs swept across her forehead in a slicked back ponytail.
Emily Ratajkowski
NYFW Fall/Winter 2023 is just a few days away, but Ratajkowski has already released a number of extreme hairstyles and wigs – this micro bob with short bangs may be the best of the collection yet.
Emma Roberts
Inky liner and spring-hot pink lipstick help further the modular feel at Roberts for Kate Spade New York. Her long waves are the usual shade of buttery-blonde, but her deliberately dark roots add a beachy, lifestyle vibe.
Lana Condor
Perfectly fitting the dark fairytale feel of Rodarte’s show, front row participant Condor brought all the drama with blue highlighter and dark, sultry lipstick. While her glossy waves were pulled back on top, one section was left free and parted to the side to lovingly frame the face.
Teyana Taylor
As one of the most stylish figures in music, Taylor’s Fashion Week looks are always exciting. For the CFDA Thom Browne event, which takes place at the beginning of scheduled events week, Taylor’s cool-toned lip combo and tousled, choppy pixie cut are next-level.
Ashley Graham
Helping to kick off Fashion Week from the Empire State Building, Graham’s slicked, spiked bun was both red carpet and Tik Tok approved.
Ashley Park
Resplendent in allover purple, Park played up the fashion week vibe with her half-up ponytail and fluttery false lashes. Outside of the Patbo show, her baby-blue nails give an unexpected element to the purple-purple look.
