In 2018, the look is not just for getting your homework finished. Margot Robbie did it at the Golden Globes, in a plunging black custom-made Gucci gown, with soft blond waves falling loose on one side, tucked behind the ear on the other, accented with a hazelnut-sized Tiffany diamond earring. Emma Stone, in golden Givenchy, sported an eartuck for the Oscar red carpet last year. Meghan Markle chose it for her first evening engagement with Prince Harry, looking sharp in an Alexander McQueen trouser suit. Gigi Hadid did it on the cover of US Vogue.
For high-octane glamour on the S/S 18 catwalks, the Versace show – the one where Donatella took a victory lap with Naomi, Cindy, Helena, Claudia and Carla – was hard to beat. But for Kaia Gerber, the Hadid sisters and the rest of the model army who stalked that catwalk in a baroque homage to Gianni, Guido Palau “didn’t want to parody any old idea of glamour,” he explained backstage. With Donatella, he decided on a look that was “polished and beautiful in a very simple way. Shiny, without too much volume.” The hair was centre-parted, tucked behind the ears and fixed in place with sparkling gold barrettes on both sides. The idea was echoed on several of the most glamorous catwalks. At Valentino, hair-tucking was emphasised by a wash of pink blush on the cheekbones. At Dolce & Gabbana, it was framed by jewelled tiaras.
“It has become a look, but it still has connotations of being a buttoned-up schoolgirl,” says Macalister-Smith, a committed (and very chic) hair-tucker. “I mean, it’s so much more sexy to have your hair in your face, isn’t it? That whole cool French girl thing. The body language of tucking your hair behind your ears is quite English, I think. Princess Diana used to do it.”
