Philips, creative and image director of Christian Dior makeup, described the look as 'all very controlled and ladylike,' despite the rehearsal being 'a bit of chaos.' Models prepped with fluorescent pink smudges on their eyes, while hairstylist Guido Palau's French chignons were secured with nets to protect them until the runway.
The make-up application was freehand and not too perfect, with a personal touch from Philips's hand, covered in stains of water-based fluorescent pink pigment. The colour was a nod to Marc Bohan, who spent 30 years as the house's designer and oversaw the birth of Miss Dior in 1967. Pink was a favourite colour of Bohan's, and it was absent from the collection filled with cream, gold, and denim pieces, often emblazoned with hand-painted Miss Dior branding.

Ah, the beauty brief for Dior's autumn/winter 2024 runway show was all about channeling the elegance and sophistication of Italian movie stars of the '70s! Peter Philips, the creative and image director of Christian Dior makeup, and Maria Grazia Chiuri, the house's artistic director, discussed this very theme during the rehearsals.Philips described the look as "controlled and ladylike," which is quite the departure from the more spontaneous and DIY vibe we saw at the house's haute couture show last month.
Backstage at the Tuileries Garden in Paris, models were prepping in front of mirrors with nets secured to the back of their heads to protect their hairstyles, which were created by the legendary Guido Palau.
