The clothes may be the main character of New York Fashion Week, but real ones know the beauty moments are just as exciting — and this season gave us plenty to screenshot. The spring/summer 2026 shows delivered non-stop inspiration, from playful polka-dot nails to vacation-ready orange blush and the blunt bangs that might finally convince you to cut your hair.
Backstage felt like beauty heaven. Makeup artists buffed gray lipstick into place, painted lashes in cobalt and white, and swiped on matchy-matchy monochrome shadow. Hairstylists slicked ponytails until they shined or left waves perfectly undone for that cool-girl, “effortless” vibe. Manicurists went full art school with chrome French tips, sheer pearly finishes, and even 3D embellishments that made nails look like tiny sculptures.
And the beauty inspo didn’t stop when the lights went down. Outside the shows, editors and influencers turned the streets into a live Pinterest board: glossy bobs, carrot-colored hair, lived-in curls, and bold red lips were everywhere. It was a week of head-to-toe ideas, and we’re already plotting which ones we’ll try first. Keep reading for all the beauty trends we spotted at NYFW, and get ready to fall in love with your next look.
