The 10 Best Beauty Instagrams of the Week: FKA twigs, Beyoncé, and More

This week’s best beauty Instagrams flooded our feeds with the type of textured manes that come only from sun and salt water. FKA twigs lounged on a boat in Ibiza, where photographer Mert Alas captured her updated take on the seaworthy mermaid: metallic shades, cherry red lips, and thick silver dreadlocks adorned with subtle seashells. Cara Delevingne took a dip off a cerulean dock, while Grace Mahary paused by a beach in Bali to shake out her raked-back collective of curls that were—when adorned with a sunny bandana—the very definition of summer insouciance.


Hair-only selfies were given an upgrade by Drew Barrymore, whose golden blonde waves were perfectly matched to the rugged scenery that surrounded her, and editor Alexandra Spencer, who bedecked a loose blonde braid with well-placed sprigs of baby’s breath. Elsewhere, making a case for the sculpted body contingent, Carolyn Murphy toted her surfboard to the nearest coastline for a day of wave riding and head-to-toe toning, a sentiment echoed by Karmen Pedaru’s stair-climbing session alongside the Balearic Sea.


But leave it to Beyoncé to forgo summer in favor of the all-out glamour that comes with chillier months: Queen Bey offset an earful of silver jewelry with a statement eye—winged liner, full lashes, and a dusting of golden glitter—that has us dreaming of a new season’s worth of beauty transformations ahead.
