The deep purple lip trend touted on the ready-to-wear runway at shows like Missoni and Peter Som, continues in the couture realm. The Dior lip was a dense, dark gothic purple, the eyes literally color-blocked and the hair pulled into gravity-defying futuristic updos.

ARMANI PRIVÉ
Veronica Lake, eat your heart out. That’s what the pronounced peekaboo-waved hair was saying at the Armani Privé show. The voluminous hot-rollered styles seemed like the perfect combination of Lake’s ‘30s-era glamour and Faye Dunaway’s Network power ‘do.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
The mannish glamour of both Marlene Dietrich with her heavy-lidded sultriness (emphasized here by a thick fringe of falsies) and early ‘90s-era Madonna (there was even a fur cone bra!) seemed to be the inspiration at Gaultier. Grey shadow was drawn dramatically towards the temple of heavily lined and lashed eyes, lips were a bright orangey red, and hair was mostly tucked beneath Snorks-like turbans.

The clothes at Valentino had a youthful innocence about them, and the hair and makeup felt just as sweet and unfussy. A mellow palette of pastels and taupes built a light, undefined eye, lips were the palest baby pink, and hair was drawn into ballerina buns with face-framing wispies.

Haute couture should be fun, foolish, and almost unwearable. That is what legendary designer Christian Lacroix told The Observer in 1987. Clearly, he was referring to the clothes, but his statement could be just as applicable to the hair and makeup, which, oftentimes, borders on the outrageous. This time around though, there was also plenty of inspiration to take away. We have a recap of the beauty moments from last weeks couture extravaganza in Paris in the slideshow above!

    Number 19 is actually Kristy Kaurova- not Siri Tollerod. It’s an easy mistake to make since Kristy really does look a lot like Siri here, but her eyes are completely different- as are her lips. ;)
