The fall 2025 collections in London brought us hair and beauty that embraced nostalgia, while simultaneously championing innovation. Chet Lo showcased the glossiest early noughties-inspired crimping, while Harris Reed unveiled incredible exaggerated eyelashes. Elevated braids were also major talking points at Dilara Fındıkoğlu, Labrum, and Annie’s Ibiza, as were the wispy bangs at Tolu Coker, and color pop brows at Simone Rocha.
Vogue breaks down five key beauty trends spotted on the fall 2025 runways in London.
Retro crimps and curls
For those who assumed that the Y2K trend had come and gone, rest assured that elements of the era are still snaking their way into the hairdos of the forthcoming year. At Chet Lo, hairstylist Anna Cofone unveiled crimped manes, continuing the use of “patterns and panels from previous seasons that mimic the textures in Chet’s clothes.” Rather than crimping the entire hair, Cofone deliberately focused on sections at the back—and for some models, the sides—for a fresh take on the style. “Chet is inspired by his Chinese-American heritage,” Cofone shares, “and we explored the idea of the hair resembling origami…Where the hair looks like it has been delicately folded.”
