OLD-HOLLYWOOD UPDOS ARE BACK As awards shows and fancy parties once again took place in real life, stars leaned hard into the classics with a procession of foreverelegant sweeping updos. At the Emmys, Anya Taylor-Joy rocked a center-parted platinum confection; at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ opening gala, Halle Berry and Riley Keough were impeccable in chic loose buns, while Laverne Cox sported a regal braided crown.

DYEING FOR OLIVIA RODRIGO’S MUSIC VIDEO HAIR Rodrigo released three massive songs this year, and their accompanying videos, all with radically different looks, set off countless trends. From the ’90s/early-2000s flower snap barrettes in “Good 4 U” to the double ponytail in “Drivers License” to the clip-in pink hair extensions in “Brutal,” she sent Generation Z scurrying to the mall.
Megan Thee Stallion’s Thermal Mani
It’s always a thrill when Megan Thee Stallion posts a “new $et” of nails—like a dripping-blood design for Halloween—but her brilliantly imaginative Instagram nailfie of thermal heat imaging against a cobalt blue background pretty much melted the Internet.
HELEN MIRREN SLAYS THE RUNWAY All hail the dame! Mirren, 76, made international headlines after she undulated down the catwalk at L’Oréal’s Paris Fashion Week show in an embellished black suit, platform heels, and a fierce beauty look of pale peachy lips and on-trend graphic black cat-eye liner.

THE NEW GUARD OF GLAM Please welcome Marcelo Gutierrez and Jared Henderson. Gutierrez brings an edge of sexiness to the boundary-pushing makeup he’s created for the likes of Lily-Rose Depp and Troye Sivan. Among his avant-garde signatures are splatters of saturated color and Swarovski sparkles. Henderson is the magical wizard behind some of this year’s most innovative hair looks, like Cardi B’s luscious sculptural blond waves at Paris Fashion Week.
