New York Fashion Week’s Spring Summer 2027 shows had a level of energy that had even the most low-key attendees joining in its party spirit. Show goers and editors alike could be seen jumping into Carly Rae Jepsen’s Collina Strada dance party at Storm King, twirling down Imitation of Christ’s interactive runway, bopping to Slayyyter’s Tommy Hilfiger performance at The Plaza, gathering in Tribeca’s favorite alleyway for Kim Shui, toasting cocktails at Coach, and winning beer pong matches at Eckhaus Latta’s afterparty with J.

Crew. It was a time for celebration.

As Vogue editors dispersed to report on the beauty looks, there were unmistakable moments, like the buggy bowlcuts that James Pecis delivered for Thom Browne, the canary yellow lids by Dick Page painted at Proenza, and two totally different hair crimps from Joey George and Lacy Redway brought to Area and Christian Siriano, respectively. Still, 3 trends that we saw nearly everywhere may be even easier to recreate as fashion month continues in London, Milan, and Paris.

Below, Vogue Beauty’s SS27 NYFW trend report:

Low Ponies

No longer just for “little lads,” as Vogue’s Senior Beauty and Wellness editor Margaux Anbouba writes, the low ponytail was the top-tapped style of the entire week in New York. Karim Belghiran secured the look with an “infinite knot” held by Tresemmé at Cult Gaia, George created “The Fold” at TWP, Guido Palau used just an elastic at Tory Burch, and Antoinette Beenders created a “coil pony” of curls prepped with Aveda All-for-One Leave-In Elixir backstage at Maria McManus’s art studio presentation.

For Zankov, hair coated in Mr. Smith Mousse was “pulled into graphic low ponytails” according to hair artist Freda Rossidis, and at Lii, Tamara McNaughton kept things simple with a chill slack-back into a low elastic.

From goddess-y texture to stick-straight lengths, it’s time to experiment at home to see if we can pull it off—off the runway.

Metallic Moments

Following gilded beauty at the summer’s Haute Couture shows, the Spring read-to-wear runways offered an even larger spread of metallic, pearly, sparkly winks. For Altuzarra’s “deconstructed ’60s” eye, Bobbi Brown global artistic director Hannah Murray created a “metallic broken socket line” that flattered all skin tones, and at Connor Ives’s power-lunch runway at The Grill, Aaron de Mey swept MAC glitter onto the eyes of his “glamazons.” Skin was metallic at Eckhaus Latta, where Fara Homidi applied silver body paint to a model’s entire torso, and at Collina Strada, Francelle Daly applied MARA Pearl Peptide Glaze to deliver a “fairy tale indie sleaze vibe” to glass skin.

At Maria McManus, Romy Soleimani applied glitter-flecked Estée Lauder Futurist Hydraplump lip balm onto eyes, cheeks, and lips to catch the light, and at Coach, Palau artfully added flecks of metallic confetti to models’ hair. Now that the greige days are finally behind us, a glint of sparkle truly delights.

Naked Nails

Naked (or nearly naked) high-shine nails on hands and toes were New York Fashion Week’s chosen finish. For Heirlome’s debut, “I had never seen a brand focus so specifically on a buffed, natural-looking finish before, and I loved that this felt like a fresh approach,” says nail artist Yukie Miyakawa, who finished nails with Buff Beauty’s The Shine Sheets.

And fashion’s go-to editorial manicurist Jin Soon brought the look to the heritage houses: At Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, she used her own JINsoon Effortless Nail Buffer & Shiner for a natural glisten. “Even the models were surprised by how naturally shiny their nails looked,” Soon tells Vogue.

At Michael Kors, she added quick-drying HyperGloss to coat nails in subtle sheen. “The key to a bare nail look like this is that everything has to be beautifully done,” says Soon of perfecting everything from the shape of a nail to the cuticle bed.

It’s a style that OG editors have long preferred, she points out, thanks not only to look but also the short appointment time. According to Soon, “it’s the ultimate naturally groomed nail.”
