Rosy cheeks. Bitten lips. Half-wet, tousled hair. Dream Team duo Pat McGrath and Guido Palou were on hair and makeup duty at Valentino and Miu Miu—but this just-so, lo-fi look exudes effortlessness.

Dior’s Peter Philips proposed pouts with a slightly darker spin for summer. His secret weapon? Black eyeliner – on the lips. Blending the Diorshow On Stage Crayon with a sweep of Rouge Dior Forever lipstick in Forever Night, it was subtle yet effective.

Perfect for those between-washes days, slick back hair into low ponytail or swinging plait. Severe, sexy, and sophisticated.

It’s the same story every summer: The slicked-back, fresh-outta-the-sea look sneaks up on us and makes us fall in love with it again. To go full beach nymph like Jason Wu’s and Tory Burch’s beauties, call in the heavy artillery: slick styling gel, ultra-strong spray and a wide-tooth comb.

Spring/summer’s tomboys with their slick Teddy Boy quiffs and deep partings, might even convince long-hair devotees to go for the chop. Take Loewe and Louis Vuitton references to your hairdresser.
