During the early days of street style's colorful, pastel highlights, the Fall 2012 Prada runway showcased contrasting, dip-dyed, manga-inspired manes that took conceptual hair color to chic new heights.

Pat McGrath played off the Japanese influences of Prada’s Spring 2013 collectsion by juxtaposing a neon-bright matte red lip against an otherwise bare face—rendering all other makeup unnecessary.

That model-off-duty, I-literally-just-hopped-out-of-the-shower look found form at Prada’s Fall 2013 runway show, which showcased purposefully damp hair that toed the line between insouciant and broodingly mysterious.

Like the bold color blocking in Miuccia's Spring 2014 collectsion, Prada’s model gang sat for saturated, single-tone dye jobs that made highlights seem obsolete. Auburn, raven, and peroxide manes were pinned back and paired with bleached brows for a wholly contemporary look.

The theatrical Fall 2014 show took beauty to stage-worthy levels by way of artfully clumped, exaggerated lashes. The spidery effect made a strong case for offhand, stand-alone beauty statements.

Guido Palau played up the slightly surrealist undertones of the Fall 2015 collectsion with gravity-defying high ponytails, attached to the side of the head with glimmering, whimsical brooches, for a thoroughly modern take on the updo.

Pat McGrath’s penchant for gold pigments swept Spring 2016’s runways. At Prada, the opulent, eclectic collectsion was accompanied by metallic lips that were simultaneously kooky and decadent.

To accompany those epic school girl padded headbands, Palau transformed a few lucky models into their own version of Jean Seberg with a set of career making micro bangs.

Models stormed the Fall runway with sets of just-bleached brows and hip-grazing pigtail braids, dyed shocking shades of baby blonde and deep black. Plus, a lucky nine received razor sharp 1920's inspired bobs—courtesy of Palau, no doubt.
