With just earthy orange makeup and a neat bun hairstyle, Karina still captivated everyone’s attention with her minimalist beauty at the Prada Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 show during Milan Fashion Week.
On January 18th, Karina’s (aespa) appearance at the Prada show quickly became a hot topic on social media. In less than 24 hours, the hashtag #KarinaxPradaFW26 topped the trending charts in Vietnam, once again confirming the strong appeal of the brand ambassador. In an elegant design with a menswear spirit from the Italian fashion house, Karina scored absolute points with her minimalist makeup and neat bun hairstyle.
Karina’s makeup style at this show primarily featured earthy orange tones. This color scheme gives a feeling of sophistication and elegance without being bland. The subtle orange-brown tones give the idol’s appearance an elegant and captivating look. Her eyebrows are defined with dark brown powder, highlighting her facial features while maintaining a soft and harmonious feel. A special highlight is the light shimmer at the inner corners of her eyes and under-eye area, making Karina’s eyes appear more sparkling and deep.
For blush, Karina continues to stick with the under-eye technique. This makeup style makes her face look slimmer and younger without needing sharp contours. The earthy orange lipstick is blended along the lip line and lightly blurred, creating a fuller, softer, and more natural look.
Besides makeup, her updo hairstyle also plays a crucial role in completing the overall look. Shedding her feminine image with long, loose curls from previous collaborations with Prada, this year Karina opted for a neat updo with a middle parting and an elegant French Twist. A section of her hair is lightly braided, adding a subtle accent and making the bun look fuller and more fashionable. The strands are skillfully styled to maintain a neat yet natural look. Her black hair further accentuates her fair complexion and perfectly complements her all-black Prada outfit.
The harmonious combination of earthy orange makeup and a minimalist bun hairstyle helped Karina portray a modern, calm, yet captivating lady at the Prada 2026 show. This style also serves as a perfect inspiration for girls who pursue an elegant and sophisticated look for special occasions.
