Centuries of poetry have been penned about the twinkle of starlight; the shimmery, wobbling surface of calm waters on a sunny day, the instinctual allure of diamonds—whether it’s magical or aspirational, there’s just something about sparkle, a mild thrill that makes your breath catch in the best way. Which is perhaps why, today in Paris, Chanel topped its bouclé and denim collection with gilded, floral brooches, the hair accessories confirming a larger above-the-neck Fashion Week fixation on adornments that shine.
It started in New York, where, backstage at Opening Ceremony, cool-toned, multicolored glitter traveled over ears and cheekbones, morphing models into near–A.I. embodiments through a simple metallic coating. Marc Jacobs also embraced a bit of futurism by way of chrome smoky lids and lash lines topped with silver sparkle and paired—on some models—with an equally light-catching hairline. Tommy Hilfiger’s modern-day debutantes coupled tiaras, costume jewelry, and otherwise naked complexions with flecks of Pat McGrath’s now-signature gold glitter, and across the pond in London, Holly Fulton opted for metallic silver foiling of the lids.
Chunky, glitzy hair accessories finished manes at Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen, resulting in looks that were regal and whimsical. For our part, we’ll be taking an unexpected application cue from Giambattista Valli, who accented models’ brows with a mirror-image line of highlighting silver glitter directly below. At times ethereal, supernatural, and futuristic, these shining moments remind us to catch the light, whenever possible.
