From statement lips at Labrum to wedding hair at Richard Quin, ESSENCE Beauty wraps up the best trends from London spring/summer 2026.

From Tolu Coker's makeup, to Lauryn Hill & Naomi Campbell at Burberry, these are all the best beauty moments from LFW.

Some showgoers leaned into protective outerwear pieces that were compelling. While other guests arrived at shows in statement denim and expressive accessories.

The designer’s show was a cross-continental journey through Black history—the clothes were rich in texture and meaning.

Amid the buzzy presentations slated to take place soon designs by Tolu Coker and other designers will also debut in the coming days.

From Ahluwalia’s beaded wigs to reversed nails at Chet Lo, here are all the best beauty looks from this season’s LFW shows.

The beauty looks at London Fashion Week were all about romantic face-painted roses and Naomi Campbell’s classic hair look at Burberry.

Presentations by Ahluwalia, Tolu Coker, Burberry, and more led to stylish guests hitting the bustling London streets.

Priya Ahluwalia and Foday Dumbuya are two of the city’s leading creative voices.
