The second leg of fashion month has arrived with London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 in full swing. What is arguably the funkiest and most artistic of the Big Four (in my opinion), the London shows are always a masterclass in how to have fun with your personal style, even when you’re wearing a full look from Simone Rocha or Daniel Lee’s Burberry. That playfulness, of course, extends to your beauty look as well—no outfit is complete without a killer hairstyle or an immaculate set of nail art —and the London street style crowd never disappoints.
This season is shaping up to be all about a statement-making hair color or sculpted set of braids. On-trend shades like raven brunette, dusty pink, and copper red are all making an appearance on the streets of London, with the bold bang craze hopping across the pond from New York. While I don’t always recommend cutting your hair at home, if you’re feeling a little scissor happy after seeing some of these street style beauty moments, I wouldn’t blame you for taking your fringe into your own hands. And if you’re searching for a fresh protective style for an upcoming beach vacation (I know I need to escape this relentless winter sooner rather than later) you’ll find plenty of creative looks courtesy of London’s fashion set.
Keep scrolling for the hottest street style beauty moments from London Fashion Week F/W 2026, and be prepared to book a few salon appointments by the time you’re done.

Sometimes it’s not all about making your bleach blonde color look as natural as possible. Lean into the perfectly imperfect tones of your bleached hair to make a bold statement.

A glossy silk press is the quickest way to achieve “rich girl hair” and snap a few necks on the street while you’re at it.
