At 40, Alana Hadid, the half-sister of Gigi and Bella Hadid, confidently graced the runway for designers Sak Potts and Munth. Joining her was 90s Scandi supermodel Helena Christensen, aged 54, who elegantly walked the Stine Goya’s spring/summer 2024 show. Together, Alana and Helena epitomized an inclusive spirit that transcends age limits, embracing diversity during Copenhagen Fashion Week.

GANNI never fails to impress at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Opening with plus-size model Paloma Elsesser, their show didn’t disappoint with a selection of textures and fits, including netted tights and socks, relaxed yet structured denim and leather looks and skirts worn over skirts; does this mean we can wear dresses over trousers again?

A. Roege Hove
A. Roege Hove showed again that you can keep pushing the boundaries of knitwear, opening with a sheer knit embellished with pearls. As well as showing off her award-winning new technique that gives this knitwear collection more dimensions using a stitch that creates volume and featherlike texture.
Baum und Pferdgarten
Barbiecore reached Baum und Pferdgarten’s latest collection. The fun collection featured pinks, nautical themes, and clothes sets with a barbie-core touch, but the styling tells another story with slick back hair, classic Scandi flats, Alice bands and belly chains.
The Guest’s Street-Style
No Copenhagen Fashion Week would be complete without a mention of the guest’s street style. Celebrities and influencers alike showcased their best street Scandinavian looks.
TikTok Beauty Trends You Can Try
Strawberry Girl
View this post on Instagram
Hailey Bieber declared it a Strawberry Girl Summer, and we’re here for it. TikTok has blown up with strawberry girl makeup, featuring clean, glowy skin with a healthy dose of blush over the cheekbones and a soft touch on the bridge of the nose. Leave your natural freckles on show, or add them to make your strawberry girl look even sweeter.
@stxph.h ppl r calling this “strawberry makeup” so i guess this is a more night time glam version #strawberrymakeuplook #vacationmakeup ♬ original sound – stephhui
Tomato Girl Aesthetic
@atosaaghakhani I decided to try out the tomato girl makeup trend and here’s what I came up with 🍅 Also I’m ditching the filters. I look back to some of my old videos where I would unnecessarily filter myself. Now I’m trying to throw away those old insecurities day by day.

The Italian lifestyle of Dolce Vita: a life of heedless pleasure and luxury, has undertaken a Gen Z makeover. The Tomato Girl trend combines radiant skin, blush flush, soft waves, and understated luxuries like floaty linen skirts and silk head scarfs.
Espresso Makeup
View this post on Instagram
Move over Latte Makeup, Espresso Makeup is here. More grunge deeper and darker than the original viral bronze Latte Makeup, Espresso makeup is pure strong coffee with a richer depth. The focus is all eyes using deep brown and rich coffee shades to create a brown smokey eye. For an extra shot of espresso, add a black liner for added definition and drama.

Trending Nails To Ask Your Nail Tech For
Pool Water Nails
@modelonesofficial Pool water nails 🌴💦💅😉 #modelones #summernails #poolwaternails #almondnails #nailsinspo ♬ 오리지널 사운드 – M2
Pool Water Nails are the latest summer nail trend to try. They are exactly as they sound; a nail design that mimics the light effect of pool water. You can go classic poolside blue or go for a light water droplet effect on your nails.
Lavender Haze
