1 Pure ponytails at Burberry
Hair stylist Sam McKnight (@sammcknight1) kept it simple at Burberry by styling models hair into low slung ponytails. To the untrained eye the hair almost looks wet, but as Sam revealed with his telling hashtag (#modernhairspray) it’s all down the power of the right styling products.

2 Pretty nail art At Preen
She’s the queen of high fashion nails and she also takes a pretty good picture. Marian Newman (@mariannewman) has made us fall in love with nail art again with this girly creation. Using freshly pressed flowers and a pealy, pink nail shade it's pretty perfect if you ask us.

5 Happy skin & coral lips at Topshop
This is Spring makeup at it’s very best. Glowing skin. Check. Pop of coral on the lips. Check. Makeup artist Lyndsey Alexander (@lyndseyalexander) perfectly captured the upbeat mood backstage at the show. We think her makeup is enough to make anyone smile.

6 Flat french pleats at Babby M
Flat, is the new name for the french plait according to hairstylist Syd Hayes (@sydhayeshair). In this picture taken moments before the girls walked out onto the catwalk, you can see just how striking it looks on all hair colours. Practical and chic.

7 Pink tints At Fydorgolan
Fuschia coloured hair plus a ‘crimped hair stamp’ (it’s the latest thing don’t you know) make for one very striking picture. Snapped by Syd Hayes (@sydhayeshair), it’s more proof that the pink hair trend is not going ANYWHERE…

The front row couldn’t get enough of the beauty rebels at Versus. Here, Grazia Editor Natasha Pearlman (@natashagrazia) snaps Bella Hadid showing off the dishevelled beehive and graphic black eyeshadow beauty look that sent the show viral.

9 Fashion braids at Hyein Antwerp
More evidence that we’re going to have to practice our plaiting skills come Spring next year. Swedish hairstylist Ali Pirzadeh (@alipirzadeh) pulled out all the stops with an oh so intricate piece of braid work at Hyein Antwerp. Replicating this look on over 20 models is no mean feat.

10 Nail chains at Ryan Lo Studio
Another mega Marian Newman nail moment. This time it was statement nail chains backstage at Ryan Lo Studio. Already trending on Instagram, this is one trend to watch for the very fashion-forward. Word to the wise, Marian advises nail chains are only compatible with acrylic nails, not natural nails so please don't attempt to DIY this look!
