There’s a strange beauty alchemy happening on the runways this season. It started at Creatures of the Wind in New York, where models’ glittering cat eyes flashed in the light; at Givenchy a few days later, slicked-back hair was finished with flashing headbands that provided a graphic counterpart to Pat McGrath’s handcrafted jeweled masks.

In the days that followed, we found ourselves daydreaming of the metallic patina—inspiring a deep dive through the Instagram archives. From the flaxen mane that made Beyoncé’s Met Gala look so memorable to FKA twigs’s opulent manicures, there’s nothing that doesn’t look better when it glimmers. As fashion month enters its home stretch, here’s hoping the City of Light offers more memorable glints of gold.
