Here, see our pick of the most inspiring hairstyles presented on the couture catwalks.
With all the major fashion weeks coming to an end, the world is pulsing with more energy and excitement than usual. Every September, we look forward to seeing the spring and summer collections hit the runway. But, of course, our attention is mainly fixated on the accompanying beauty looks. The hair and makeup moments that emerge during fashion week help shape the trends we’ll be seeing for months to come—and this season, there is plenty of inspiration to sift through.
Of course, no single style fits everyone. However, there is something to inspire everyone. If you’re yearning for the 1990s and 2000s (as many of us are), look at Christian Siriano’s alternative version of primary school ribbons, Versace’s coquettish bows, and Chanel’s ‘overnight waves’. Alternatively, if you want to elevate your style with basic yet refined elements, turn to Zimmermann’s sleek ponytails and Valentino’s mermaid-wet sheen.
Get ready to turn heads, embrace your unique style, and make a style statement that will define the upcoming season. Spring/Summer 2024 is your time to shine.

BEAUTIFULLY EMBELLISHED
At Tory Burch, The Blonds, Susan Fang, Sara Wong, and Erdem, hairstyle stole the spotlight with a dazzling twist. Sleek and sophisticated, the models’ locks were expertly slicked back and secured low along the nape. But what truly made heads turn was the addition of a show-stopping beaded accessory, adding a touch of glamour and extravagance to the overall look. With their visionary designs and impeccable attention to detail, these designers embraced the art of hair embellishment to create an unforgettable visual spectacle.
VERSATILE LONG-BOB
While the classic bob has dominated the hair scene in recent years, it’s time for the long bob, affectionately known as the “lob,” to shine on the runways. This year, this stylish and versatile haircut had its moment, captivating fashion enthusiasts everywhere. The beauty of the lob lies in its length, which hovers just below the jawline or extends to the shoulders. This in-between length offers endless possibilities, from sporting gorgeous curls and graceful waves to achieving a sleek and straight look. Whatever your preferred style, the lob embraces it all with effortless grace.
During their Spring/Summer 2024 runway shows, prominent fashion houses like Coach, PatBO, Anna Sui, and Ralph Lauren unveiled their models confidently, flaunting this sought-after trend. The lob graced the catwalks, proving its versatility and allure.
