These are our favourite beauty moments from New Zealand Fashion Week 2025

With New Zealand Fashion Week in full swing, it’s not only the runway collections and street style catching our attention. What unfolds on stage is merely the final flourish of an immense behind-the-scenes effort - where teams of hair stylists and makeup artists work with precision and urgency to ensure every model steps out looking immaculate. Because, after all, no look is truly finished without a strong beauty statement. Here are some of the standout moments so far.
