Welcome back to Beauty Marks: Vogue’s weekly edition of the best moments in celebrity beauty, from Vogue editors’ IG feeds, and all the glam of the fashion and pop culture landscapes. Each week, we curate the nail art to pin for your next nail appointment, new recruits to ‘Team Bob’, and major red carpet moments from the week’s most glamorous affairs. As always, it’s as much about celebrity beauty as it is about the makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail artists, as well as the creators crafting the trends you’re about to see everywhere.
This week, the best beauty looks were all about playing with classic aesthetics, adding an elevated or surprising element: that could be a slightly unexpected shade of red lip, or even a plasticky pink. Nail artists embraced the festive period, and got a little freaky and flirty with it. Lily Allen sculpted her hair into a very British beehive for the West End Girl that she is, and Anok Yai swapped her bob for stick-straight, extreme lengths. If you’re in need of Christmas party inspo, this is a great place to start.
