We can thank Miuccia Prada for the fact that I am considering disheveling an impeccably pristine blowout. You see, earlier this year, on Miu Miu's fall 2023 runway, the Italian designer unleashed a parade of models whose flyaways and sculptural static were as thrilling as her crystal-encrusted knickers. That the undone hair topped off otherwise meticulous lengths made it not only stand up but stand out. Emma Corrin's cowlick-rivaled perhaps only by the signature style of The Little Rascals' Alfalfa-went viral moments after the actor closed the show.
"The nuance of having just that one area lifted feels really fresh," says historian Rachael Gibson, noting that the I-can't-bother-with-a-brush rebellion has its roots in 1960s counterculture. Before then, she's quick to point out, any above-the-neck disarray was considered "a sign that something was wrong in your life." (In one hair-raising instance from the 19th century, it even resulted in death: As historian Sonya Lipsett-Rivera reports, one Simón Antonio Retama stabbed his wife after she returned home with what seemed to him postcoital tresses.) These days, though, amid the buttoned-up tendencies of modern life, Miu Miu's controlled chaos came as a welcome clarion call for letting (a little) loose.

Coming Up Rosy - The new blush isn't just for the cheek. Coco Mellors feels the flush.
If the eyes are the window to the soul, then our cheeks are the back door. What other part of the body so readily reveals our hidden emotions? Embarrassment, exuberance, delight, desire, all instantly communicated with a rush of blood. It's no wonder that blush has been a mainstay of makeup bags for decades: Ancient Egyptians used ground ochre to heighten their color; Queen Elizabeth I dabbed her cheeks with red dye and mercuric sulfide (which, combined with the vinegar and lead concoction she used to achieve her ivory pallor, is believed to have given her blood poisoning); flappers applied blush in dramatic circles to achieve a doll-like complexion, even adding it to their knees to draw attention to their shorter hemlines
