As we come to the end of fashion month, I thought it was only right to cast my eyes over the Paris Fashion Week hair trends from this season. The Autumn/Winter 2026 shows have been a total feast for the eyes for hair trends, makeup trends and nail trends. However, as much as I love gawping at the runway shows and spying on the beauty trends backstage, there is nothing I love more than spotting what beauty looks the fashion week attendees are wearing themselves.
You see, I always appreciate the incredible avant-garde beauty moments you see on the runways, but they aren’t always the most wearable of looks to pull off day-to-day. Which is why I like to turn to what the fashion set is wearing instead, particularly when it comes to hair trend inspo. And if, like me, you’re prone to getting in a hairstyle rut, looking through the Paris hair trends is a sure-fire way to get inspired and try out a new hairstyle (or even a new haircut).
I’ve already scrolled my way through the London beauty looks from AW26, so it was time that I turned to the Parisian streets to find out what Paris Fashion Week hair trends everyone has been wearing.
