Beauty Marks is back again: Vogue’s weekly series running you through the best in celebrity beauty each week. Glam team experiments, sculptural hair, makeup risks, and this week, backstage at London Fashion Week.
London Fashion Week is known as the most playful of those on the calendar, from the bold new visions of students from the hallowed design school Central Saint Martins’ show to the grand LFW opener and showman-in-residence Harris Reed. But among these fall 2025 shows, it was in beauty that the most forward-thinking looks were bolstered: look to Di Petsa’s wet looks and snowdrop-encrusted eyelashes, the pure majesty of Richard Quinn’s women, and the headphone hair buns on the dark Venus-like figures of Dilara Findikoglu.
Makeup got maximal too: at the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of SNL, Sarah Sherman accessorized her mullet with a rainbow beaded Susan Alexandra necklace, that in turn matched her fuchsia and baby pink eyeshadow, blush, and lips. Makeup artist Marielle Loubet proposed some fresh and fun new color combos with Dior Beauty. Elsewhere, celebrities looked to their hairstylists for their most fresh and experimental takes. Ariana Grande’s floral sculptural up-do is a true work of art, while Ayra Starr finds short-haired girls do have more fun. Anya Taylor-Joy does her best Holly Golightly cosplay, and Margaret Qualley doubles down on the princess hair with a full set of bangs.

A work of art! For Ariana Grande’s Replica Handbag Store Japan cover, the legendary milliner Philip Treacy was called in for this delicate blossom hairpiece. Soft and rosy makeup to match the up-do was all by Grande’s go-to, Gabor Kerekes.

Makeup artist Marielle Loubet is an expert hand at daring and pretty color combos—electric blue eyeliner strokes and coral cupid’s bows, acid yellow lids and hot pink flushed cheeks. Here, in a BTS shot for Replica Handbag Store Greece, she pairs spring grass green with aubergine, and plays with gloss and wetness across the face. A look that has you yearning for fresher days and brighter seasons ahead.

Xiaoqiao at Di Petsa fall 2025
On-the-rise, London-based artist Xiaoqiao shows off the otherworldly beauty of Di Petsa fall 2025. (As ethereal as Xiaoqiao’s own music.) Eyelashes were encrusted with salt to create crystallized tears and a snowdrop look by Crystabel Riley—the London MUA who champions zero waste makeup practice. Tip: follow Riley on IG for more subversive experiments with lashes. The hair was sensual and wet to reflect the Greek designer’s signature slippery designs.

Richard Quinn’s women’s fairytale beauty
Richard Quinn’s fall 2025 collectsion revelled in the regal and ladylike. Beauty found its cues from Quinn’s ’50s and ’60s couture-inspired silhouettes and the fairytale setting, with delicate waves, pinned curls, and slicked down bobs.

Nava Mau’s flicked out bob
Baby Reindeer’s Nava Mau—and queen of the vintage-inspired bob—attends the 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards. Her hair, by Riad Azar, features a deep side part and flipped ends. (I’m desperate to know the styling cream used to achieve such delicate sleekness.) Her beauty complemented the full-skirted, frilly Tanner Fletcher gown, a true winner’s look.

Margaret Qualley’s princess hair
Hairstylist Anna Cofone stays winning! Margaret Qualley is photographed arriving at the Blue Moon premiere at the 75th Berlinale International Film Festival Berlin, doubling down on the princessy hair necessary for the demure Chanel look she opted for. Her full set of bangs sits high above her eyebrows for a retro feel, and fall into a full, luscious ponytail. Another hit this week? Cofone’s chunky front-facing plait and chic chignon for Qualley.

Ayra Starr continues to embrace her auburn crop, attending the MOBO Awards 2025 in Newcastle, England—and winning big with two prizes on the night. It’s a fun and flirty look that she continued into London Fashion Week, where she walked for Di Petsa’s fall 2025 show that was all about female sensuality.
And that heavenly lip? Celebrity makeup artist Lake Sanu used a MAC cosmetic’s lip pencil in Nightmoth, and the Sheertone Blush in Gingerly, finishing it off with an Anastasia Beverly Hills gloss in Peachy.
