Milan never fails to set the tone for beauty trends, and this year’s Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter was no exception. This Italian fashion capital delivered a head-turning array of stunning makeup and hair moments, ranging from vintage-inspired glamour to rebellious, grunge-infused looks.

Let’s break down the most breathtaking beauty moments from the week.

Vampy, Plum Lips

Dark, moody lips made a dramatic return at Versace’s Fall/Winter 2025 show, with models such as Mona Tougaard and Irina Shayk showcasing sultry plum hues. Makeup maestro Dame Pat McGrath crafted an intense, dimensional pout using deep lip pencils and rich burgundy lipstick, finished with a glossy, vinyl-like sheen. To complement this alluring lip look, a pearlescent lavender sparkle was dusted onto the eyelids—a mesmerizing iridescent effect. Meanwhile, sleek, polished blowouts reminiscent of Donatella Versace’s signature style reinforced the ‘90s aesthetic.

Alien-Inspired Eyes

Diesel took a turn toward the avant-garde with its otherworldly beauty looks. Models walked the graffiti-covered runway sporting milky, almost eerie eyes, paired with spray-painted smiles for an unsettling yet captivating aesthetic. This haunting look played into the brand’s rebellious DNA and added an edgy, dystopian vibe to the collection.

Classy, Clean Beauty

Fendi presented an evolution of the ever-popular “clean girl” aesthetic, introducing a refined, modern twist. Models sported dual low buns positioned at the nape of the neck, complemented by a dramatic deep side part. The makeup was kept minimal, featuring softly winged eyeliner and nude or coral-toned lips. Notably, contouring and blush were dialed down, allowing fresh, dewy skin to take center stage. A lightweight, radiant foundation ensured a flawless complexion, proving that simplicity can be just as impactful as bold glam.

@fendiStatic-Chic Blowouts

Prada made a case for embracing natural hair texture with static-y blowouts that exuded effortless cool. Instead of fighting against the frizz that comes with winter weather, Prada encouraged fashion lovers to work with it, making bedhead officially high fashion. On the makeup front, the focus was on bold, defined brows and lengthened lashes, achieved using Prada’s upcoming beauty line. The result? A look that felt both undone and intentionally polished at the same time.

A red lip never goes out of style, but Antonio Marras proved there’s always room for reinvention. The designer showcased a dazzling twist on this classic, applying metallic ruby glitter to the center of the lips for a festive, eye-catching effect. Paired with jeweled headbands, this look was the epitome of opulence. If you’re looking to elevate your signature red lip, adding a touch of sparkle might be the way to go.

Giorgio Armani doubled the drama with its striking winged eyeliner look. This graphic trend saw models donning two sharp flicks instead of one, creating a bold yet sophisticated statement. For those who find doubling up on liner intimidating, a softer approach—using a slate-toned eyeshadow—was also showcased on the runway. Paired with muted pink lips, this look maintained a balance between edgy and elegant.

@giorgioarmaniMonochromatic Orangey-Coral Makeup

As we anticipate Fall 2025, coral tones will take center stage. Both Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci embraced warm, peachy hues to create a fresh and youthful complexion. This trend combined sculpting blush techniques with minimal contouring, allowing the vibrant coral shades to enhance natural beauty. Compared to cooler pinks, orange and coral hues flatter a wider range of skin tones, making this a universally wearable trend. It’s a perfect balance between understated elegance and playful vibrancy.
