As the first destination of Fashion Month, New York is now buzzing with activity. The world’s attention will be on the runways, which will no doubt provide plenty of inspiration for the coming months and into the fall season, when the collections will be officially unveiled. That said, as we all know, the looks worn outside the venue are just as full of trend-setting moments, especially when it comes to beauty. Yes, for every cool jacket, there’s an equally memorable makeup and hair moment. This season’s beautiful moments of NYFW Fall/Winter 2024 street style are no exception.
While New York is known for its edgy, contemporary style, guests attending this week’s show turned to more classic hairstyles and accessories to amp up their ensembles. From bob to box braids, at first glance there seemed to be an underlying understated, effortless vibe. But the look was anything but boring. Many showgoers used fun accessories and romantic hair ribbons to accentuate their simple hairstyles. The makeup department took a similar approach. We’ve found that bold bleached eyebrows and dark, moody lips are the perfect pop of color for tonal outfits.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Ahead, we’ll be seeing the best street style beauty from NYFW. Take notes. It’s going to be a good week.
box braid
Box braids with a narrow waist are a great way to make a statement. Small micro styles are popular, but medium-sized braids also offer a unique look. Free-flowing ends add an on-trend bohemian vibe.
A high braided ponytail looks cool and mermaid-like when paired with a romantic seafoam green dress. But why would he settle for just one? This guest wears his three golden braids that hang elegantly over his shoulders.
Classic box braids are forever timeless. Not only is it versatile, but it’s also easy to style. This guest sports a relaxed half-up, half-down look that’s very ’90s chic.
ribbon and hair clip
Bows are one of the most popular beauty trends right now. Probably because there are many different ways to wear ribbons. This guest wore her hair parted in the middle with sweet pale yellow clips on either side.
Not all hair accessories have to be romantic. Instead of fluffy ribbons, this guest uses two hair clips to dress up her braids.
dark lipstick
You can never go wrong with a bold dark lip. Rather than opting for berries or wine, this guest shows how cool shades of black can be. The trick is to color coordinate the rest of your look. Take a cue from this attendee, who wore beige and black to show off her dramatic lips.
classic bob
Microbob hair is trending right now, but the classic chin-length length still makes a statement. A simple side part and a bold red lip are all you need to make this all-black ensemble pop.
Soft, romantic waves give this guest’s bob a glamorous feel. The cropped length, cut at the jawline, also adds to the timeless appeal of this style.
bleached eyebrows
Brow trends may lean more towards natural, but at NYFW, the looks are bold and bleached. The combination of blonde eyebrows and dark black hair is the epitome of edgy street style.
Bleached eyebrows and a smokey eye are the ultimate combination. This keeps her platinum hair slicked back and allows her bold makeup to take center stage.
