The Biggest Beauty Trends From NYFW SS25
These editor-approved hair, makeup, and nail trends will be everywhere this spring
The sheer styles, lighter hues, and textural designs debuted on the Spring/Summer 2025 New York Fashion Week runways were gorgeous, but we kept a closer eye on all the exciting hair, makeup, and nail trends. As much as I love a rich fall lip or burgundy nail color for the colder months, light and breezy makeup and undone hair are more my cup of tea. It’s never too early to start planning your spring beauty mood board.

Although Fashion Month is only just beginning, New York has introduced some effortless and easy-to-create hairstyles (hint: slick-backs aren’t going anywhere) and makeup looks, like light layers of blush. Plus, nail colors pack a punch, with metallics and shades of pink reigning for the upcoming season. Ahead, we break down the best beauty trends from the Spring 2025 shows that we’re already road-testing.
Sleek Slick Styles
Wet styles are easy to achieve, low maintenance, and require just a few steps. Backstage at Luar’s Spring/Summer 2025 show, TRESemmé lead stylist Evanie Frausto used gel to create a glassy, sculptural look and locked in the shiny style with hairspray.
Sleek Slick Styles
Tory Burch’s utilitarian version of a sleek style features a half-up ’do that draws attention to the models’ bare faces and strong brows.
Mixing Metals
Metallics are notoriously a winter nail shade, but Monse is bringing the high-shine finish into the warmer months, courtesy of nail artist Jin Soon Choi.
Mixing Metals
Luar elevated rosy pink nails by opting for a glossy metallic iteration from Addiction Tokyo.
Relaxed Waves
Hairstylist Charlie Le Mindu channeled the “touch grass” hair—in other words, a modern twist on cool-girl, metropolitan hair with lots of length, messy waves, and a little bit of grease. While this style can easily be re-created on second-day hair, Mindu used a combination of dry shampoo to add texture and grit before finishing with oil for shine.
Relaxed Waves
Tousled waves work on all lengths—from long locks to bobs. On Michael Kors’s Spring/Summer 2025 runway, textured hair matched the various textures seen throughout the collection, including raffia fringe and lace.
Touch of Flush
Blush blindness takes a back seat for the upcoming spring season. Instead, think touches of blush in berry hues and pale pinks for a natural hint of flush. On the PatBO runway, a glowy base adds luminosity to the cheek color.
Touch of Flush
For an even more natural (and sun-kissed) vibe, apply your blush higher up on your cheekbones, as seen at Tibi’s Spring/Summer 2025 show.
