TOn Paris Haute Couture week, the clothes tell the future of fashion. But it is in the hair of the stars sitting in the front row that the next beauty obsessions can already be seen. Natural textures, full colors, details designed to appear effortless. And Chanel, with Dua Lipa, Penélope Cruz, Vanessa Paradis And Charlotte Casiraghi sitting in the parterre, she dictates the pace once again.

The stars in the front row at Chanel

The Paris Haute Couture Week comes to life and, while on the catwalks the visions of Spring-Summer 2026the front rows become a true beauty observatory. Between couture dresses and dreamy atmospheres, they are above all the hair of the stars to capture attention. Transforming the front row in a parallel catwalk made up of iconic cuts, studied textures and make-up calibrated to the millimetre. At Chanel, as per tradition, the parterre is a concentration of international elegance. Cinema, music, fashion and entrepreneurship meet under the sign of the double C, giving away hair & beauty inspirations to save immediately.

Penélope Cruz and Dua Lipa: brunette icons compared

Sitting next to each other, the two stars offer two different, but equally magnetic, interpretations of brunette charm. Penélope bets on a shoulder-length bobintense in its dark brown and enlivened by soft waves that frame the face naturally. The detail that makes the difference is the tuft that slides over the foreheadrefined and never built. The beauty look is completed with extra-long lashes with a theatrical effect and an ultra-mirrored pink gloss, which illuminates the face without weighing it down.

Sitting in the front row next to her, the 30-year-old Dua Lipa chooses the path of sophisticated linearity. The long hair is perfectly straight, enhanced by a deep brunette shade, with the tips slightly lighter than the roots for a natural and modern effect.

Make-up plays on soft contrasts. The protagonist is the dark lipstickmade brighter by a pearly finish that adds dimension and sensuality.

The effortless elegance of Vanessa Paradis

Always in the front row of Chanelthe historical habitué Vanessa Paradis (53 years old) embodies the idea of ​​timeless beauty. Her blond hair, long past her shoulders, is worn in a slightly wavy motion. The almost beachy look has a central line that underlines the harmony of the face. And she competes for the bombshell queen scepter with Nicole Kidman, sitting a little further away.

The eyebrows remain blonde, in perfect chromatic coherence, while the make-up avoids any strong contrast. The only vibrant note is the coral lipstickwhich lights up the complexion and brings energy. Confirming that sometimes just one detail is enough to make the difference.

Charlotte Casiraghi, the charm of studied imperfection

A long-time friend of the fashion house and a great fan of exclusive front rows, Carolina di Monaco’s daughter surprises with a hair look that abandons classic composure to embrace a more instinctive and wild elegance.

The 39-year-old’s brown hair falls freely, caressing her face nonchalantly, marked by an apparently casual side parting.

Here and there, thin, unkempt locks they break the symmetry. Giving life to a spontaneous but incredibly chic result. The demonstration – and confirmation – that the 2026 version of the disheveled style can be the highest form of refinement.
