This fall marks a first for Refinery29: We\u2019re launching our debut seasonal Lookbook \u2014 a new tradition where the artists shaping culture create the looks and styles they\u2019re most excited about for the season ahead. <\/p>\n

Fall always feels like the reset we\u2019ve been waiting for. After brushing off the sand and retiring our flip-flops, getting dressed suddenly feels intentional again \u2014 and effort feels exciting. For me, effort isn\u2019t about chasing trends; it\u2019s about honoring yourself. Maybe that\u2019s pairing stilettos with a pencil skirt, or wide-leg denim with a vintage tee you\u2019ve had for years. Fall is the moment to lean into whatever your version of \u201cfeeling your best\u201d looks like. We owe it to ourselves to show up with intention.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why this Lookbook is so powerful. We wanted to hear from culture-makers \u2014 the people behind the looks we rush to save, screenshot, and share. Together, they created five capsule looks across hair, makeup, nails, and fashion that anyone can try, remix, and make their own. And because inspiration should never feel out of reach, each look comes with suggestions for how to shop it, style it, and make it your own.<\/p>\n

For our inaugural lookbook, we assembled a truly all-star team: <\/p>\n

\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Sir John<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A makeup artist I first obsessed over when he was creating Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s glam for the Formation<\/em> tour, Sir John<\/a> is an industry legend. Years later, I had the chance to meet him, and we\u2019ve since collaborated as co-hosts on my podcast Naked Beauty <\/em>and remained the closest of friends. To see his artistry up close is to understand why he\u2019s one of the most visionary makeup artists of our time. The five looks he dreamed up for us span decades \u2013 from 1920s silent film stars to 1980s New York Club Kids, to a modern-day Sophia Loren moment.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Coree Moreno<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ll never forget when I first met Coree<\/a> at a Met Gala dinner in 2024. He walked in with alternative mullet, bell bottoms, and towering platforms \u2013 a look that immediately signaled he was someone I had to know. That night, he was doing Lil Nas X\u2019s hair. Since then, he\u2019s styled everyone from Zendaya to Natasha Lyonne to Jodie Turner-Smith. What drew me to him then \u2013 and now \u2013 is his ability to merge edge with elegance. For this shoot, his looks ranged from a modern beehive to effortless soft waves and reimagined braid styles \u2013 each one pushing texture and shape in fresh, modern ways.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Zerina Akers<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I first fell in love with Zerina<\/a>\u2019s work through her styling of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Black Is King<\/em>, where every look embodied heritage and power. As the founder of Black Owned Everything<\/em> and her LA showroom The Show Must Go On<\/em>, Zerina is committed to elevating the visibility of Black-owned brands and bringing her discerning eye to a wider community. This fall, she\u2019s forecasting Luxe Grunge, an updated spin on academic prep, and bold pops of scarlet, in classic outfit formulas that feel both aspirational and completely wearable. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Brittney Boyce<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/h3>\n

Brittney<\/a> is the first person I\u2019ve met who gets ready starting with her nails. The celebrated nail artist\u2019s work has graced the fingers of Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, and Machine Gun Kelly (who once wore a set Brittney designed, encrusted with $30,000 worth of diamonds). This fall, she\u2019s excited about playing with pink and purple auras, embellished cat eyes, and textured chrome tips. Screenshot, and save these looks to bring to your next mani appointment \u2013 or get yourself a set of press-ons from Brittney\u2019s brand, Lost Angels. <\/p>\n

We truly created magic on set, with seamless collaboration between the artists, models, our photographer Steven Simione\u00a0\u2014 and, of course, the incredible R29 team. What started as moodboards and decks became something alive, inspiring, and full of energy. I already have every single look saved on my Pinterest board<\/a>, and can\u2019t wait to re-create Coree\u2019s Knot-hawk (four buns stacked in sculptural perfection) and Sir John\u2019s Downtown \u201888 makeup look, featuring bold blue eyeshadow and a glossy red lip.<\/p>\n

\n

The best part of this all is that this is just the beginning. Refinery29\u2019s Fall Lookbook is more than a trend report, it\u2019s our statement of intent: to spotlight the creatives shaping culture, to make fashion and beauty more accessible, and to remind us that every season brings a new era of possibility. Let\u2019s step into it boldly.<\/p>\n

With love,\u00a0
Brooke<\/p>\n
