R29 Lookbook: Winter 2026 Fashion & Beauty Lookbook
Winter loves to challenge us. It’s a season teeming with unexpected dress-codes, temperature drops, and parties, parties, parties. We tapped three of the industry’s most inspiring artists to create five looks to inspire your season, whether you're hosting or guesting.
LOOK ONE
Hosting during the holidays is its own kind of production. There’s always an element of theater, from the lighting to the guest list. This look leans into the moment with just the right amount of drama, without drifting into the territory of human holiday ornament.

LOOK TWO

Ballet-core meets a subzero reality. Both can be true. Smart layering is the most refined way to carry your fifty-things-on-the-to-do-list look through the colder months.

LOOK FIVE
Some of us simply won’t tolerate being cold. If the temperature drops, we mentally relocate to Gstaad and reach for puffers that match the mood. Here’s a look that does it...
without giving yeti.
