Of all the runway shows during Paris Fashion Week, no front row is as buzzy and celeb-heavy as Dior’s. The legendary French fashion house brings out the A-list, and in turn, celebrities bring their beauty A-games—like Willow Smith, who stunned me with a gorgeous combo of a braided updo and baby-blue eye shadow.
Smith, who is a global ambassador for Dior Beauty, sat front row at the spring/summer 2026 womenswear show—alongside fellow ambassadors Anya Taylor-Joy and Blackpink’s Jisoo—wearing head-to-toe Dior and a high, multi-layered updo that began with braids and ended in a perky pile of waves.
The musician’s updo has three distinct levels, starting with two elevated, braided sections that begin right near her hairline. The smaller section was rolled at an angle, and the larger portion looks like it was rolled around a hairpiece or a hair donut for added lift, volume, and shape. The lengths were gathered into a knot at the base of the second braided section, descending in long, easy waves.
