Zuhair Murad’s Paris Runway Shows Topknots Are Here to Stay

Couture runways dictate the trends we’ll see on red carpets and magazine covers for the next year, and Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad has hereby extended the topknot’s term.

On Wednesday in Paris, Murad sent models down the runway wearing messy buns with untucked ends and baby hairs, boldly mixing the easy style with impossibly intricate, beaded gowns.

Celebrities have recently modernized the topknot for the red carpet with edgy elements like Kaley Cuoco’s topknot fauxhawk, Shay Mitchell’s braided topknot with hair rings, and Ashley Graham’s sleek, angular topknot. For years before that, the messy topknot was synonymous with a bad hair day.

Murad’s topknots appear to be something of an anti-beauty look. Pairing them with ungroomed brows, fresh skin sans contour or highlight, just a dab of lip balm, and the kind of smudgy black eyeliner that we were wearing around the same time that the plain old topknot was in its prime, Murad is rejecting the trends we see on Instagram. Instead, his models look as if they could honestly say, “I just threw this on.” Because we all know that nobody on your feed actually woke up like that.
