Sanremo 2026: the beauty looks of the third evening
Irina Shayk, the smile couture that steals the show
It’s a smile that captures the light, magnetic and cared for down to the millimetre Irina Shayk, guest and co-host of the third evening of the Sanremo Festival.
Her beauty look plays on an unexpected, almost secret detail, capable of surprising precisely because of its discretion: a tiny diamond set between your teetha bold and sophisticated light point, which transforms the smile into a couture accessory.
For the rest, the model chooses the path of essential elegance. The complexion is radiant, smooth, lit by a glass glow that emphasizes the face without the need for color. Eye and lip makeup moves on the edge of the invisible: a impalpable veil of gloss reflects the light on the lipswhile a light coat of mascara defines the look without weighing it down.
It is the celebration of a conscious beauty, which does not need superstructures to impose itself, but relies on the quiet strength of simplicity.

Absolute protagonist, a large black velvet bow that seals a low, disciplined and impeccable ponytailtransforming a basic hairstyle into a style statement. The detail is not simple ornament, but a conscious aesthetic gesture: the velvet, material and deep, dialogues with the stage lights and frames the face with timeless elegance.
A reference to the icons of the past, revisited with contemporary sobrietywhich confirms how – even on the most observed stage in Italy – it is the details that make the difference.
Alicia Keys, sculptural braids and urban glow
Bring a bit of New York to the Ariston singer Alicia Keys who duets with Eros Ramazzotti. Hers is a hairlook that speaks the language of empowerment, mixing urban and haute couture suggestions, with a hairstyle that is a mix of rigor and contemporary sensuality.

The hair, divided with a clean and very shiny central parting, is worked into sculpted braids that adhere to the head like a bas-relief, drawing precise and architectural lines. The braids then lengthen at the nape of the neck in compact and structured, almost sculptural lengths, which frame the face with a strong character.
The finish is glossy, checked, without a strand out of place: a perfect balance between discipline and expressive power. The result is magnetic: severe in construction, but incredibly bright overall, capable of transforming the plot into a style manifesto.
