The Best Flower Crown Comes From Couture, Not Coachella

Tell a florist you want an all-baby’s-breath bouquet and he or she will probably laugh at you. But no one was laughing last week at the Paris Couture shows when hairstylist Odile Gilbert used the filler flower to create a romantic, non-music-festival floral crown at Rodarte. The models looked like fresh blooms, especially with the pressed flowers and crystal-bedecked tiny daisies that manicurist Tracylee appliquéd onto their hands.

The Rodarte models weren’t the only shape-shifters at Paris Couture Week. Bella Hadid became a soaking-wet blonde, Kendall Jenner’s lashes turned into a thing with feathers; a Game of Thrones–inspired beauty look even appeared ahead of the premiere. Click through for the best beauty so far from the Chanel, Dior, Armani, Viktor & Rolf couture shows.

Elie Saab Elie Saab was directly inspired by Game of Thrones this season, with the hair and makeup kept pretty but still semi-functional for when you need to eat a raw horse heart. Makeup artist Tom Pecheux dotted gold pigment onto the lids and inner corners of the eyes (MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Deposit), with black eyeliner rimming the lashes. Hairstylist Orlando Pita gave every model a center part anchored by a warrior-princess-like headpiece.  Photo: 2017 Peter White
