Whimsical hairdos were the unexpected trend from Marc Jacobs‘ spring 2025 front row on Monday. The designer unofficially opened the current New York Fashion Week season with its Courage collection, which was filled with exaggerated silhouettes and doll-like designs, and his guests embraced the creative nature of his show from head to toe.
As photographers snapped the usual outfit shots, it was impossible to ignore the cartoonish, sculptural and dramatic hairstyle choices atop the heads of some VIP guests.
Lisa Rinna, known for her signature spiky bob, made the style even more dramatic to match her colorful outfit, which featured outsized proportions, including a voluminous blue skirt and Marc Jacob’s newest fantastical shoes with extended toes.

Rapper Lil Uzi Vert, a collaborator of the brand, debuted his anime-inspired hairstyle combining spiky elements, textured sections and straight bangs that fall across the forehead. He completed his look with a custom Marc Jacobs outfit. The overall look channeled aspects of punk, gothic and Japanese street fashion aesthetics.

Influencer Priya Shukla opted for a modern take on a 1960s beehive updo. Her hair was styled with significant height at the crown, creating a dramatic vertical lift, while the ends were curled outward in a flip. She complemented the look with cat-eye sunglasses and large hoop earrings reinforcing retro-inspired glamour.

Alex Consani, who closed the runway, was also seen mingling with guests after the show, wearing a tightly curled blond hair styled upward in a dramatic, almost cloud-like formation. The style had an almost Marie Antoinette-meets-modern punk aesthetic, with the pale blond curls arranged in a gravity-defying manner. Hairstylist Duffy was in charge of styling the wigs and hairdos seen on the runway.

Other guests, including Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Tina Leung, Ubah Hassan and Sai De Silva, opted for a more conservative look while subtly nodding to the show’s retro, fantastic nature.

Marc Jacobs’ spring 2025 show was held at the New York Public Library. “There was hit after hit of the notion of personal style over trend, including a fairy-tale-like oversize nightgown; a fur-like chenille sweater with leather bubble miniskirt; an animalistic padded coat (divine!), and show-closing, sculptural dresses. A few were covered in dazzling jumbo paillettes, while others came in fiery velvet pink and red hues — a va-va-voom moment for the modern red carpet that nicely nodded to Comme des Garçons, but was entirely Jacobs,” WWD’s Emily Mercer reported.
