Milan's Beauty Scene: The Bob Hairstyle's Quiet, Enduring Return

Ahh, Milan Fashion Week, arguably the most glamorous installment of the fashion month calendar. Honestly, whenever I'm in need of beauty inspiration to knock me out of my minimalist, Brooklyn girly rut, I always look to the Italians. Whether an editor who has traveled across the world to attend shows like Prada, Gucci, Max Mara, and Armani or a local hopping between designers, MFW S/S '27 is serving up plenty of stunning street style beauty looks. The week is also proving that despite the revival of long hair, particularly in the States, the bob and lob are not going anywhere anytime soon. Red hair is also cementing its place as a fashion girl favorite, while unexpected hues like green and pink make their stylish presence known.
