Get the Glossy Hair From Victoria Beckham's SS25 Fashion Show
It’s Paris Fashion Week, and in the city of love, Victoria Beckham has revealed her most romantic silhouettes yet for her spring/summer 2025 collection. But it wasn’t just the fluttery, pink gowns, leather shirts, and an Atonement-style green dress that had the front row mesmerised; high gloss hair shimmered down the runway, courtesy of Wella Professionals, ghd, and lead hairstylist Anthony Turner.
Sleek and polished, healthy and strong; these were the backstage buzzwords between fashion icon Beckham and mane guru Turner, who reimagined low ponytails with beautiful texture for refined elegance. ghd’s chronos styler teamed up with the ULTIMATE REPAIR range for locks that looked flawless from the inside out. And we'll let you in on a secret: the routine really started the night before Beckham’s SS25 show.
So, let’s take a peek backstage at Chateau de Bagatelle to discover the look...
The Runway-Ready Kit: What You Need for Sleek, Shiny Hair
Want to know what Anthony Turner used to create those nape-hugging ponytails? These are the essentials he and his hair team reached for to create the glossiest look:
ULTIMATE REPAIR Night Serum
To ensure models’ hair would be smooth and manageable ahead of the show, they used the soon-to-launch ULTIMATE REPAIR Night Serum as an overnight treatment. It worked to repair and protect their hair while they slept – a must in the midst of the Fashion Week chaos – so Turner had healthy hair to work with when prepping models’ ponytails. Watch this space, as it's launching soon!
ULTIMATE REPAIR Miracle Hair Rescue
This lightning-fast leave-in treatment repairs hair damage in 90 seconds¹, creating the ideal canvas for a silky yet beautifully textured ponytail. It also leaves hair 12x smoother² with 99% less breakage³. So models didn’t just get their hair styled; they received a dose of much-needed care too.
ULTIMATE REPAIR Protective Leave-In
The hero heat protectant was used "to provide anti-frizz effects and make styling easy," said Victoria Beckham, who hailed the ULTIMATE REPAIR range for enhancing the "effortless, elevated look of the show". ULTIMATE REPAIR Protective Leave-In also shields strands against friction and heat up to 230°C/450° F, so hair stays strong and healthy as it undergoes backstage styling.
ghd Hair Tools
Three ghd icons were used to create these spring/summer ponies: the helios hair dryer to blow dry, the chronos styler to smooth and straighten, and the curve tong to finish lengths with a gentle bend where needed. The new chronos optimises heat and power delivery for ultimate performance, delivering up to 3x faster⁴ styling and up to 85% more hair shine⁵, no extreme heat damage⁶, 2x less frizz⁷ and up to 3x more breakage protection**.
Styling Products: EIMI Mistify Me Light
'No flyaways' is a rule straight out of the fashion playbook, and EIMI Mistify Me Light ensures every last stray hair strand is smoothed down. Turner turned to this weightless, flexible hairspray to keep hairlines tidy, ensuring even baby hairs were kept in place as models glided down the catwalk.
Victoria Beckham SS25 Hair – How to Get the Look
You've got the kit – now get the look. Discover the steps involved in Victoria Beckham's Paris Fashion Week SS25 hair…
Step 1: Wet the Hair
As models headed backstage, with hair previously treated using ULTIMATE REPAIR Night Serum, their locks were dampened in preparation for styling.
Step 2: Apply Miracle Hair Rescue
Once damp, hair was sectioned off and misted with ULTIMATE REPAIR Miracle Hair Rescue, the innovative leave-in treatment that repairs hair damage in 90 seconds*, leaving locks strong and smooth.
Step 3: Protect and Dry
To shield strands and temper frizz, ULTIMATE REPAIR Protective Leave-In was layered over the top of Miracle Hair Rescue, then blow-dried in with the ghd helios hair dryer for extra shine.
Step 4: Create a Sleek Style
The ghd chronos styler was used to make hair smooth and sleek, with the powerful plates maintaining the optimum heat setting of 185°C for better heat consistency and superior results.
Step 5: Secure the Ponytail
Silky hair was next brushed into a low-slung ponytail at the nape of the neck, and secured with an elastic.
Step 6: Set and Go
Finally, the polished ponies were given a gentle bend with the ghd curve tong, and then misted with EIMI Mistify Me Light hairspray to keep flyaways smoothed down and hairlines neat.
