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.

From canary yellow blush to big sequin-studded nails, jaunty head-pieces, and a slick of jewel-toned eyeliner: the best beauty looks of the week delighted in that last extra—very extra—finishing touch. The British Fashion Awards in London brought some of the most stand-out looks: a heavily backcombed Gwendoline Christie, Bella Tilbury’s piece-y bangs, a celestial beat for Alexa Chung. At Chanel’s New York subway-set show, classic codes were elevated by Ayo Edebiri and Romy Mars.

    Rahel Stephanie

    For a night at the 2025 British Fashion Awards, London-based and Jakarta-born chef Rahel Stephanie took cues from her chocolate brown and canary yellow Kate Walker dress for the glam. Makeup, by Shireen Kadhim, prioritized porcelain glass skin with a golden-toned blush and deep ombré lip. An unexpected color for blush feels perfect for subverting party season.

    Tip! That sharp lip tracing is achieved with a Chanel Beauty black eyeliner and Nars Cosmetics lipliner in Spunk.
