As a beauty editor, I've been reporting on beauty trends for over a decade now. Each season, I take notes on the hair trends, meticulously observe the emerging makeup trends, and I always have one eye on the next biggest nail trends, too. And whilst the runways provide a wealth of beauty inspiration each fashion month (anyone else obsessed with the Spring/Summer 2026 beauty trends? They're a feast for the eyes this season), sometimes, some of the best beauty inspo comes directly on the ground. I'm talking about the street style beauty moments.

And now London Fashion Week has showcased its AW26 shows, I've been keeping an eye on some of the best London beauty looks from the fashion week shows for Autumn/Winter 2026. Because whilst the runways might have some of the best avant-garde hair, makeup and nails moments, nothing beats seeing the real beauty trends that are playing out in real time outside the shows. If you're just as excited about it as I am, scroll on for the best London beauty looks I've spotted from London Fashion Week.

Time to pull out your hair waver and recreate these stunning waves—just in time for spring.

This wispy fringe and bouncy curl combo is making me want to call my hairdresser immediately.

The bixie—a cross between a bob and a pixie cut—is proving to be a major spring hair trend. I've also spotted it on Gracie Abrams recently.

Proof that the side fringe is absolutely on its way back in.

A statement berry lip perfectly complements this off-duty look.

These intricate braids are a work of art and beautifully twisted into a high bun hairstyle.

As bob hair trends go, the blunt bob proves that it's one of the most timeless cuts around.

Shop the Look:

After a few years of an eyeshadow hiatus, it seems we're on the cusp of bold eye makeup making a return. How stunning is this hazy blue eyeshadow?

The street style looks were filled with chic hair accessories moments, including this plaited ponytail and pearl adornments.

Shop the Look:

I'm obsessed with this pared-back beauty look, punctuated with berry stained lips and accentuated brows.

Long lengths were in abundance, and I was particularly drawn to these stunning copper twists.

'90s-inspired brown lipsticks aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Can we take a moment for this stunning beaded style?

Proof that you can't go wrong with a classic slicked-back bun and a blurred lipstick moment.

Shop the Look:

I said it once, and I'll say it again, hair accessories are proving to be a major hair trend right now. How beautiful is this updo?
