It was a big day in Milan yesterday, as heavyweight designers such as Gucci, Pucci and Bottega Veneta showed their spring collections. But all seemed to be quiet on the beauty front, with many designers favoring minimal, almost makeup-free looks (the exception being Bottega Veneta, where models sported gorgeous, statement fuchsia lips). But you can always rely on Roberto Cavalli to bring it in some capacity; while we might usually expect full-on, bombshell glam, this time out, he took it down a few notches, instead showcasing a more subtle, slightly intellectual approach to beauty. The result was no less fierce, as this shot of the stunning Chanel Iman proves.
The look was all about a gorgeously sculpted face, with cheekbones highlighted through strategic contouring and the eyes extended with exaggerated black winged eyeliner. And then there was the hair: given a slick, wet-look in front, the back was finished with an impossibly tight, long braid. It could have felt a bit Little House on the Prairie, but combined with the high-shine texture of the hair and ferocious makeup, this was no Laura Ingalls country-girl.
As we saw at Alexander Wang, bold braids seem to be the thing for the coming season. Will you wear them?
