The Best Street Style Beauty From the Spring 2018 Collections
Which holds the staying power during fashion month: the catwalk or the sidewalk? In the grand scheme of chart-topping beauty statements, the two went hand in hand this Spring 2018 season. After weeks of presentations and hundreds of sartorial snaps, lensman Phil Oh’s favorite subjects lent their street style hair and makeup looks the same kind of easy-yet-aspirational polish that dominated the collections.
Overlapping runway-to-reality themes ruled the monthlong trek from New York to Paris. Gleaming examples of light-catching, clean complexions and red hot or icy platinum dye jobs surfaced in every city, while pops of pastel makeup and hyper-toned flashes of skin stood out like Insta-post catnip for the street’s highly lensed It girls. All the better to strike a mid-intersection pose.
In the end, it was the cheerful details that kept it all so effervescently dreamy. Even the familiar felt exceptional, like Fernanda Ly’s faded peach lengths and oversize glasses in Paris, or Susie Lau’s towering topknot, perched like a double scoop of gelato over her blunt bangs outside of Prada. Caroline de Maigret, with her failsafe ombre waves and lash-grazing lengths, consistently paired her look with a pearly white smile in every city—a classic move, for those unfamiliar with the game. Each uniquely individual interpretation of the new and now served as a reminder that street style beauty at its best, even after the lenses stop clicking, has the power to turn an everyday commute into a breath of fresh, hopeful city air.
