More than any other major Fashion Week venue, Milan has always felt like a true celebration of style. Nowhere else will you find such a bold and glamorous reverence for fashion presented with such glee, and that goes for the beauty looks of showgoers too. The best beauty street style moments of Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2023 encompass the bold, bright and distinctly personal, but often with a nod to beauty and hot fashion trends.
For the Milanese fashion set, hair is often the ultimate accessory and is treated as a built-in canvas for self-expression. This season, hair rings add a touch of gold and metallic to each braided style, while bold split dyes and neon tips add a pop of color on top. That carefree energy extends to the best street style makeup looks as well. You’ve seen green eyeshadow on chic celebs like Zendaya, Rosalia and Solange Knowles, and Milan’s coolest are giving the color another official co-sign too, but not without a few changes. Acting as a foretaste of spring and summer to come in 2023, it looks like the cheery colors and beauty version of dopamine dressing are, thankfully, here to stay.
Here are the most noteworthy beauty street style moments from Milan Fashion Week SS23 so far.

Consider next year’s take on the ever-viral chignon trend. On top, the hair is straight, gelled and secured in a twisted bun, while the rest is left to flow freely. As this Fashion Week guest shows, it’s clearly the best of both worlds.

There’s no doubt about it: rich, sumptuous green eyeshadow reigns supreme right now, and that extends to Milan Fashion Week attendees as well. This guest’s grassy green eyeshadow, which actually appears to be a cream-based or frosting-style shadow, is a whimsically bright splash of color against an all-white ensemble.

Even with the show paused, the Euphoria effect is still strong. This guest’s take on the green eyeshadow trend is a double whammy of color and shape. The pea green concentrated on her lids is framed by wings of blue eyeshadow, adding a whole new element to the look.

Goodbye, curtain bangs – it’s time for the baby bangs to shine. Clipped above the eyebrows, the baby bangs, similar to the micro bangs Katie Holmes just cut, frame the face with an unexpected edge and lots of shine.

The shimmering constellation of silver hair rings in this Fashion Week guest’s tresses (rings that match her earrings perfectly, mind you) are a sleek, metallic touch against her midnight black turtleneck.
vampire lips

A bold, vampiric lip is always welcome, especially when it’s as deep and glossy as this Fashion Week guest’s. Keeping the rest of her makeup relatively simple, yet note the bold brows and lashes, that burgundy lip color takes center stage.
blunt bobs

After a lapse of several years in which the lob ruled, the true bob, one that completely clears the shoulders, is back for revenge. The short style has been seen on celebs like Viola Davis, Maude Apatow, and Issa Rae, and this Fashion Week guest demonstrates why. In particular, instead of a choppy, layered bob, this one has clean, blunt ends and an even length throughout.
Spiky Space Buns

This Milan Fashion Week attendee proves that space bows aren’t just down at music festivals. Space buns are a high fashion style in their own right, especially accented with spiky ends for a fan effect.

Let’s talk mermaid eyes: this guest’s stunning eyeliner style is so winged, it’s ready to take flight. The precise laser lines and ink finish are impressive, especially with an otherwise bare face.

Short, sleek and always a hit, this guest’s cropped afro shows off her stunning natural curl pattern while drawing all the attention to her brushed brows and bright rosy cheeks.
split dye

Invest in Manic Panic stock now because the bold and proud hair color styles of yesteryear (okay, like 2012) are back, but not without a couture makeover. By concentrating the electric blue hue only on the ends, the dye feels more like an accessory than a full hair color.

Lightener can be just as effective at achieving the split dye look. This guest employs another retrospective favorite technique: color undercut, fastened in a pulled-back knot, to add dimension and edgy flair.
