Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s appearance at New York Fashion Week was a delightful alarm for autumn’s arrival. Front row at Ralph Lauren’s spring/summer 2026 show, she wore a chocolate-brown dress complemented by a glow of warm copper make-up—a look so snug against a drifting city breeze I almost wanted to linger on that moment. It felt like Mother Nature handed us permission to swap neon for russet.
But this toasted make-up craze is more than Chopra Jonas. Selena Gomez? She’s betting on a toasted manicure. Kaia Gerber swiped on a blush so bronzed it practically whispers, “I’ve kissed the sun too long.” Michaela Coel, Kirsten Dunst, Dakota Fanning—they’ve all rolled out their signature toasted glam.
How to Toast Your Look
Find your toasty shade. Think rich russet reds, warm oranges or cool classic browns. Then—here’s the magic—layer it everywhere: eyeshadow, blusher, bronzer, even lipstick. Match them up, and you get that monochromatic warmth that makes your face look cohesive like a perfectly curated fall palette.
tips? If you’re cool-toned, dab a deep berry. Lean warm? Rusted terracotta brown’s your best friend. And please, give your dewy sheen a break: switch to matte for a bold twist. After checking the work of Harold James, L’Oréal’s global guru, I found that a matte base actually makes those toasted hues pop like glowing embers.
It’s cozy, unexpected and totally in sync with crisp evenings and pumpkin-spiced everything. So, will you be trying this trend? Maybe it’ll stick around, maybe it’s fleeting. But right now—right this second—I’m all in.
