Schiaparelli’s SS2024 show unveils a surprising glow-up for the ears a dazzling fusion of makeup and crystals.

The latest unexpected body part to undergo a stunning transformation? Your ears. But we’re not talking about a subtle touch of highlighter here; we’re diving headfirst into a full-blown, megawatt glow-up, courtesy of the spring/summer 2024 haute couture show by Schiaparelli in Paris.

Pat McGrath, the renowned makeup artist, shared insights into this avant-garde beauty trend. “At Schiaparelli, there is always an element of sparkle and the surreal,” McGrath told Vogue. “This season, that came in the form of one crystallized ear on several of our alien beauties.” The striking effect was achieved by painting the ears with silver pigment and adorning them with hundreds of tiny crystals. Each model underwent a meticulous three-hour process to achieve these light-catching, bejeweled ears.

The result is a captivating fusion of shimmering makeup and statement earrings, creating a look that can only be described as Pat McGrath-meets-Pat McGrath. This daring approach adds an extra dimension to the overall aesthetic, ensuring that Schiaparelli’s runway showcased not just fashion but an artful blend of makeup and accessories that push the boundaries of conventional beauty.
