Bold Beauty Looks Seen at the Men's Spring 2026 Shows in Milan

MILAN — The men's spring 2026 shows here displayed collections filled with relaxed tailoring and a new approach to color — from pastel hues telegraphing a gentle masculinity to pops of vibrant shades for a more energizing injection of optimism. Hair and makeup followed suit. The overall natural beauty looks were revved up by occasional bold options here and there. Cue the fire-red hair dye and pointy hairstyles curated by Lorenzo Barcella and the Wella Professionals team that popped up at the show Vivienne Westwood staged outside a Milanese café.

Another model also had his hair, face and torso turned into an artwork depicting Fiorucci's signature cupids. For a less invasive statement look, one can look at the Setchu show, where makeup artist Anthony Preel opted for sky blue and emerald green as hues of preference to add a pop of color to models' lips or spotlight their gaze with graphic shapes around the eyes. Even at Emporio Armani there was a touch of eccentricity, matching a daring collection that evoked seminal campaigns from the '90s shot in Morocco. In sync with the exotic vibe, hair was carefully parted in tufts, each gelled, twisted and punctuated by little metal clips doubling as ornaments. Hairstylist Louis Ghewy worked on a different concept with designer Luca Magliano, who forwent the runway format in favor of a short movie set on a ferry. Some of his characters had manes coiffed in extra volumes, others ruffled as the wind on the deck had its way with them. Best of WWD Which Celebrity Brands Are Next for a Major Deal?

The Best Bob Hairstyles for Every Hair Type and Texture in 2025

Thinking about going for the big chop? Whether you've got thick waves, baby-fine strands, coils that bounce, or stick-straight hair that will not quit, there's a bob out there made for you. Because the bob isn't just a haircut—it's a whole vibe. Chic, edgy, classy, cool-girl… she can do it all. But let's be real, not all bobs are created equal. The key to nailing that "just left the salon and feel like a whole new person" energy is choosing the right cut for your hair type. And lucky for you, we've done the research, speaking to some of the beauty industry's most knowledgeable hair experts—Tom Smith and Jordanna Cobella—who shared their tricks for finding your very own perfect bob. From blunt micro bobs to shaggy, layered cuts, we've rounded up the ultimate inspo and stylist-approved tips for every texture and thickness. Ready to meet your new signature cut? Let's bob and weave, bb. "Straight hair lends itself to classic, sharp bobs easily," says Tom Smith, Cosmopolitan contributing hair expert. "Sleek straight styles work well with minimal daily effort, but if you want a choppy or voluminous bob, bear in mind you'll need to style waves and movement into your hair." Tom's pro tip: If your hair is fine and straight, the tucked bob style, where one side is tucked behind the ear, is a great way to increase the illusion of thickness. Wavy hair types work great with bobs that are designed to be worn with movement. Tom says, "Anything flipped over or where flicks or texture is desired will be easier to achieve here." This includes the French bob, bottleneck bob, Italian bob, and bell-bottom bob. Jordanna Cobella, Cosmopolitan Contributing Hair Expert, also adds that introducing some front pieces can also help type 2 hair bounce. "Just be sure to cut it longer than anticipated to account for the bounce, as when dry, it will sit shorter than the wet length," she says. Jordanna's pro tip: Use a curl cream to enhance type 2 waves. The Wella Professionals Nutricurls Curlixir Balm is a firm favorite. But remember: Depending on your curl pattern, you may need to cocktail a curling balm and a mousse or a cream. Apply when wet and avoid brushing; simply scrunch dry upside down and air dry or use a diffuser for extra lift and curl. Curly hair lends itself to curved and rounded bob shapes. In particular, Tom says that "bob-shag hybrids can work really well thanks to the natural curvaceous quality curls have." Confirming this, Jordanna says that it's the layered, textured aspects of these cuts that bring the curls to life. Jordanna's pro tip: Embrace the triangular shape that curly bobs sometimes fall into, as it gives width and is flattering. Styling-wise, the same rules apply to wavy (see above), but product choice is key. You may have to vary the products in the different parts of your hair; the front generally has tighter curls, whereas the roots and top part of the hair tend to be more frizzy. So, with that in mind, a stronger curl cream is essential. Coily hair textures are best suited to sculptural, shapely bobs. "Side partings can really help to allow textured hair to be stretched out into a shape which feels more 'bob' like," Tom says, while Jordanna adds that a tapered bob is the way to go. "The key is to cut it dry in its natural state for the true account on the shape it will take," she says. Jordanna's pro tip: When it comes to styling a coily bob, hydration is key; make sure your shampoo and conditioner are curly hair friendly, as some can be quite drying. Utilize a leave-in conditioner and oil for twist-outs or finger coils, and for a more defined curl, use curling balms or creams. The great thing about a bob haircut is that there are so many interpretations and adaptations (if you hadn't already gathered!). There's something to suit every hair type, as well as hair texture and density. Tom breaks down his advice for the best bob depending on your hair texture, below: Sharp laser-cut bobs help to build density in thin hair types. The blunt cut clusters the hair together and creates weight and the illusion of thickness at the ends. Long layered bobs reduce bulk in thick hair but maintain the short shape. Unlike thinning hair, fine hair types are suited to a textured, choppy chin-length bob. This style adds volume, body, and movement. High-density hair refers to a large number of hair strands per square inch on the scalp, so even if you have fine strands, you may have a lot of them. This means you have high-density hair. For those with this hair texture, a hidden layering lob is a great option. The longer bob style is defined by subtle layers to add texture without being visible and blunt ends. (Read: Ghost layers). An a-line bob (longer at the front, shorter in the back) with invisible layering gives structure to those with frizz-prone hair, all without puff. Victoria Beckham's iconic look is a great example of this cut. What are the 4 different hair types? According to the hair-typing system, there are four main groups of hair. Here's the basic rundown of the categories: Each category also has three a, b, and c subcategories (for example: 3a, 3b, 3c, or 4a, 4b, 4c) that break down each hair type even further. Tom Smith is a renowned hairstylist and trend forecaster known for his innovative eye and detailed understanding of global beauty movements. With years of hands-on salon experience, a keen sense for emerging trends and experience working with brands including Olaplex and evo hair, Tom has become a trusted voice in the industry. His unique ability to blend artistry with data-driven insights makes him an authority on what's next in hair. Jordanna Cobella is a distinguished hairstylist and salon owner based in London, celebrated for her exceptional skill and innovative approach to hairdressing. As the Creative Director of Cobella Salon in Kensington and Wella Hair brand ambassador, she has garnered recognition as London Hairdresser of the Year for two consecutive years (2022 and 2023). Her expertise encompasses advanced colour techniques and styling, honed through extensive experience at prestigious events such as London, Paris, and Milan Fashion Weeks.

The ‘glass hair' trend is back: These hydrating heroes will keep your locks glossy all winter long

Winter is the season of scarves, coats and seriously dry hair. Cold air outside and blasting heaters indoors can leave your strands feeling dull, parched and frizzy. But this year, there's a new goal in town: glass hair, that ultra-sleek, mirror-like finish made famous by celebs like Hailey Bieber and Kim Kardashian. Achieving it during the colder months? It all comes down to hydration, nourishment and smoothing serums that work overtime. The good news is, you don't need a celeb stylist on speed dial, just the right routine and a few cult products. 1. Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Shampoo, $54 at Sephora Start strong with the Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Shampoo, designed specifically for dry, dull and frizz-prone hair. It transforms into a rich foam to gently cleanse hair while removing metal impurities thanks to its built-in metal purifier technology. Your hair will feel fresh, light and ready to drink up moisture. 2. NAK Hair Signature Hydrate Shampoo, was $36.95 now $29.56 at Adore Beauty If your hair is more 'normal to dry' and you want something gentle for daily washing, the NAK Hair Signature Hydrate Shampoo is a clear winner. It's sulphate-free, colour-safe, vegan and just a genuinely lovely shampoo that won't strip your hair. Think soft, smooth, hydrated locks without fuss. 3. OUAI Melrose Place Super Dry Shampoo, $54 at Sephora Dry shampoo lovers, this one's for you. The OUAI Dry Shampoo is a multitasker that soaks up oil, dirt and sweat without that powdery residue. Better yet, it smells ridiculously good, with notes of rose, lychee and champagne. You'll want to use it even when your hair's not dirty. 4. Davines MOMO Conditioner, $49.95 at Oz Hair & Beauty Finally, for hair that's crying out for hydration, look to the Davines MOMO Conditioner. Packed with vitamin-rich melon extract and nourishing jojoba oil, it's designed to untangle and soften dehydrated strands without heaviness. The fruity scent is just a bonus. Whether you're going for glass hair or just trying to survive winter without a frizz explosion, investing in a few of these picks will make all the difference. Hydrated, happy hair is always in style, but especially when it's freezing out.
