We can’t explain it but when we see shiny things we’re immediately drawn to them. It’s apparently ingrained in us as humans to be attracted to glossy or sparkly objects so naturally, when we saw the Metallic Nights edit closing THE ICONIC RUNWAY X, we knew we’d want it all. Showcasing a 90s-meets-now mix of slick textures, daring cut-outs and moody hues, this is one trend that encourages you to be your own midnight muse. Here’s how to make the look your own.
1. Dial up the drama

1. Dial up the drama
If you find yourself drawn to shiny, sparkly finishes or fabrics you just want to touch – don’t hold back, now’s the time to indulge in the things that excite you. Marry metallics with mirror-effect surfaces – think satin slips or sequin dresses with speed dealer sunglasses and don’t stop there.
2. Darken the mood

2. Darken the mood
Become besties with midnight black – it’ll only make your metallics shine brighter. Subtle doesn’t belong here, but if you’re easing your way into the trend, black tailoring and crisp dark denim mingled with edgy prints and cut-out details will guarantee you entry to the club. Complete the look with a patent leather bag and pearl jewellery for that little touch of sheen.
3. Opt for “ugly”

3. Opt for “ugly”
If you came here for glitter and glam, good luck finding it. This trend is all about attitude so instead of strappy stilettos you’re more likely to see sharp, pointed toe pumps, or better yet, rubber Crocs, leather boots and sporty sneakers.
4. Beauty & Grooming

Make your eyes pop with iridescent face jewels or silver flake eyeshadow and graphic liner in an electric colour. If you’re game, try the faux bleached eyebrow look that’s all over TikTok to really take your look out of this world. If makeup isn’t your forte, this is where metallic and chrome manicures come to play.
