Fashion and Beauty Trends Set to Dominate 2025

2024 was a year shaped by chaotic pop-culture moments, eye-catching runway fashion, exaggerated makeup looks, and nostalgia-tinged everything. From Simone Rocha’s first couture collection for Jean Paul Gaultier to the legendary Rohit Bal’s breathtaking final bow, the global fashion scene was a witness to many defining moments. 

As we step into 2025, it’s time to take a look at fashion and beauty trends that are set to take over the style zeitgeist. From mocha mania, retro denim, and bustier-clad brides to glowy goddess looks and whimsical makeup, here’s what to expect next year.

Cherry Coded

Ruling in red never goes out of style! Having spiced up the Fall/Winter runways in 2024, the chic colour seems to be transcending the seasonal favourite tag. Shedding its old status, cherry red is dominating both fashion and makeup space with trends like Cherry Cola lips, the mob wife trend, and cool girl blush looks!

Mocha Muse

Declared as Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025, the deep, sophisticated brown shade is undeniably chic. Quickly becoming a wardrobe essential, the new neutral is proving it’s far from basic. Seeping its magic into bags, footwear, and makeup through Tiktok-adored trends like latte makeup and more, Mocha Mousse effortlessly exemplifies quiet luxury.

Bridal Bustier

This waist-accentuating silhouette may have been left behind aeons ago, but new-age brides are embracing it in a new avatar! Designers like Tarun Tahiliani, Dolly J, and Roseroom by Isha Jajodia are giving the bustier a new life by incorporating it into their bridal collection and redefining wedding fashion.

Glazed Goddess

A combination of the new generation’s glass skin obsession and Pinterest’s prediction of the trend Goddess Complex, this trend is all about embracing your divine feminine power, but not without a blinding glow! Gilded accessories, gold facials, and sublime designs define the glazed goddess moment – making it a trend that will be embraced by every generation in 2025.

Sporty Chic

An upgraded version of the last few years’ athleisure trends, Sporty Chic is a confluence of high fashion collections and pieces from the world of sport. Think Tennis skirts paired with luxurious blouses or sweatshirts and edgy moto jackets – a fashion staple – paired with Y2K classic pieces or evening gowns.

Aura Beauty

Moody hues will get a whole new meaning in 2025! “2025 will be the year of the make-up mood ring,” declared Pinterest in their annual trend report for the coming year. Featuring a brightly hued makeup palette that echoes the mood of the wearer, this beauty trend is all about reflecting how you feel on the inside in an artsy way.

Fringe Frenzy

Fringe experienced a high-fashion revival in 2024 runways, with designers like Prabal Gurung, Brandon Maxwell, Burberry, Dior, Palomo Spain, and more adding their own spin to the texture. Adding an oomph to otherwise quieter silhouettes, this trend is all about volume and drama.

Denim Dreams

A closet classic for decades, Denim keeps popping up on trend charts each year with new iterations. 2025 serves as the year for expanding your denim horizons. With utilitarian jeans, denim dresses, and skirts becoming the new ‘It’ girl essential, this trend is an easy way to make a lasting impact.

Sheer Genius

From Haute couture to ready-to-wear, head-to-toe sheer looks are a seasonless trend that never fails to grab eyeballs! Sheer dresses aren’t the only way to dip your toe in the trend; recent collections feature a lineup consisting of re-imaged skin-barring silks, gauzy co-ords, and lacy tops – leaving you with endless options to join this risqué revolution.

Bohemian Rhapsody

It’s the year of frills and free spirit! Get in on the trend that dominated the early noughties with fringed maxi skirts, crop tops adorned with patchwork, bias-cut floral dresses, ruffled lace blouses, crochet tops, and everything that screams modern-day romanticism.
