The women behind Rodarte, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, have a keen sense when it comes to the tricky balance between understated simplicity and rock ‘n’ roll decadence. This season beauty looks were quiet with matte skin, flushed cheeks and undefined brows brushed up. But with the gold hair accessories and Rodarte’s signature tousled manes, these fairy princess frocks truly popped against the model’s romantic visages.

With a sheer fishnet veil, Dries Van Noten recalled vintage glamour but was able to put his own unique spin on the mask. Using electric hues as well as basic black, Noten added a subtle smoky eye to match and kept hair low-key with messy buns and ponytails leading the pack. The alluring impact of this look may not be office friendly but certainly could work for the right kind of cocktail party or girl’s night. Be gone fascinators, the veils have it!
