The 10 Best Beauty Instagrams: Emily Ratajkowski Wins the Cat-Eye Competition (and More!)

When considering the week's best beauty Instagrams, the word "stylized" comes to mind—as proven by Emily Ratajkowski's head-swiveling cat-eye, and more.

Stylized was the word that came to mind when scrolling through this week's best beauty Instagrams, with mane and makeup moments that were purposeful and individual, forcing a pause in perusal. Outside the arena of fashion month, Alexa Chung adapted the season's slight and bohemian plaits with her own, travel-ready take, as elsewhere, artist Chloe Wise offered a new interpretation of beach hair with a drenched updo finished in a collective of whimsy-driven barrettes.

A sharp uptick of black liner—deftly applied by Pat McGrath, supremely modeled by Emily Ratajkowski—turned a would-be romantic look into a slightly subversive one at Dolce and Gabbana, an aura amplified at Ann Demeulemeester, where Anthony Turner crafted sculptural lengths that merged a modern wet-look with throwback finger waves, the looks topped with a series of full-face veils. Sam McKnight shared a glimpse of the backstage assembly at Dries Van Noten, where the hairstylist secured a bevy of perfectly pieced bangs. In Paris, Kelela took a moment to show off a tower of coiffured coils juxtaposed by a section shaved bare, as DJ Venus X did with braids with beads—and a flick of onyx eyeliner. And in stomaching the week's more unsavory news, Tracee Ellis Ross opted for a glamorous take on the time-honored notion of pulling out one's hair, a feat that culminated in a twisted topknot and a welcome smile from followers. Because when in doubt, shaking it out usually helps—if only for the moment.
