The hair at Miu Miu Spring 2014 may be the biggest nod to the ’90s beauty trend yet. I’m not talking about the loose, wavy style but rather the skinny strands stuck to models’ lips as they walked down the runway. The ’90s were the era of lipgloss, and as every girl caught in a gust of wind knows, lipgloss is an undeniable magnet for hair.

When the first model came out, the lipgloss-stuck hair looked like a mistake. But nope: this was a very deliberate beauty statement for Miu Miu. So basically, Miuccia Prada has once again gone and piqued our interest in the ugly and made it instantly desirable. Designer magic!

Some questions for Miuccia:
– Were you inspired by your own lipgloss + wind + hair troubles?
– Does lipgloss make for a good hair styling product?
– Seriously, how did the models not just pull their hair off of their lips because that sticky feeling is beyond distracting?
– Can I pretend my awful habit of putting my hair into my mouth while I’m thinking is part of this trend?
