Laufey Is Our Ultimate Coquette Beauty Icon—7 "Vintage Romance" Styles You Should Emulate

      Laufey is a celebrity who consistently presents beauty looks that are so visually captivating that our romantic hearts can't help but flutter. The Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter gained fame during the pandemic with her smooth, velvety voice, jazz-influenced sound, signature coquette style (think pastel bows, oversized collars, and vintage-inspired minidresses paired with knee-high socks), and her social media showcases featuring her identical twin and creative director, Junia. After winning a Grammy Award last year, this self-proclaimed lover girl announced her upcoming third album titled "A Matter of Time," set to release on August 22, 2025. To commemorate its release, we’re compiling some of our favorite Laufey beauty moments, from the Met Gala to Paris Fashion Week and beyond.

      **Rose Hues**

      *Time and Place: Attending the Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2024*

      For the Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion Met Gala in May 2024, Laufey donned a blush-hued dress adorned with layered ruffles and delicate floral details, crafted by Nepalese American designer Prabal Gurung. She paired the dress with a flowing veil embellished with nods to a Bach fugue. Her makeup, done by Emily Cheng, utilized a variety of Ilia products, including the Multi-Stick in Dreamer and A Fine Romance for a rosy shimmer on the eyes and cheeks, the Lip Sketch in Banquette for soft pink lips, and the In Frame Brow Gel to define her brows.

      **Mauve Touches**

      *Time and Place: Attending the Chanel spring/summer 2025 womenswear show during Paris Fashion Week, October 2024*

      At the Chanel S/S 25 show during Paris Fashion Week, Laufey wore a mint ensemble from the Chanel S/S 24 haute couture collection, complemented by a mauve makeup palette from makeup artist Lili Choi. In a clip shared on Choi's Instagram for Chanel Beauty, Laufey described her makeup: "Today's makeup look is lots of pink, flushed cheeks, and black eyeliner to balance it out." This ethereal look used Chanel Beauty’s Ultra Le Teint for a radiant appearance, 31 Le Rouge Matte Lipstick N°13 in Rouge Jersey for her lips, Joues Contraste Intense in Rose Ardent for a rosy touch, and Signature de Chanel in N°10 Noir for a subtle wing.

      **A Pop of Red**

      *Time and Place: Attending the Lanvin fall/winter 2025 menswear show in Paris, France, January 2025*

      During Paris Fashion Week, Laufey made an appearance at the Lanvin F/W 25 menswear show in a little black dress characterized by an oversized collar, white accents, and a bow. This marked one of the first instances where she wore striking red lips—a departure from her usual pink tones. The red lips paired beautifully with her minimalist makeup style, which featured a hint of rose blush on her cheeks, shaped brows, and understated winged eyeliner. Observant fans may notice her signature touch: a hint of pastel eyeliner along her lower lash line.

      **Frosted Pastels**

      *Time and Place: Attending the Chanel Haute Couture spring/summer 2025 show in Paris, France, January 2025*

      Laufey also attended the Chanel Haute Couture show, showcasing an elegant two-piece tweed set from the brand's S/S 25 collection. Makeup artist Choi crafted a frosted look for her, featuring sensual mauve lips topped with a pink holographic gloss, dusty-rose blush on the apples of her cheeks, winged eyeliner, and pink shadow beneath her lower lashes—an enchanting, playful aesthetic that we’re eager to replicate.

      **Shades of Dusty Pink**

      *Time and Place: Attending the Chloé fall/winter 2025-2026 womenswear show in Paris, France, March 2025*

      At the Chloé F/W 25 womenswear show, Laufey chose a sheer cyan dress with a delicate white ribbon for the waist, complemented by a moody pink makeup look created by Florrie White. White applied a neutral blush-pink lip color, similar to Chanel Beauty’s 31 Le Rouge Matte Lipstick in Rouge Couturière, to add warmth and dimension, along with neatly styled brows framing her face, a slight wing, and romantic peach blush for her cheeks and nose bridge.

      **Smoke and Silver**
