Pinterest recently dropped their 2026 Trend Report based on current search data.

A lot of what’s next on the horizon is louder, more emotional, and more opinionated.

How I’m interpreting these 5 fashion & beauty trends as a brand designer and art director:

1. Glamoratti is maximalist, bold, and really extra. People are leaning into more confidence, assertiveness, and being unapologetic. 💅

2. Laced Up is all about craft and detail. People crave more things that are tactile, so think about applying texture, being intentional with materials, and things that feel real and tangible. 🧶

3. Poetcore is the opposite energy of glamoratti. It’s more quiet, thoughtful, and story-driven. People are more focused on depth, intellect, and intention. 📚

4. Extracelestial is the futuristic stuff like gradients, chrome, and experimental, avante-garde designs. It’s lead by tech, innovative, and future-facing brands. 🛸

5. Vamp Romantic is a darker, moodier, more emotional aesthetic. It’s dramatic, edgy, yet intriguing. Visuals feel more cinematic vs. commercialized. People are embracing more tension and mystery. 🧛‍♀️

The common denominator across all these aesthetics is that there is more emotion, atmosphere, and less neutrality. People are leaning into character, contrast, texture, and mood shifts (especially due to the rise of AI) so brands should be able to keep up with them.

The goal isn’t to follow these trends blindly, but to understand the culture shifts and build a brand system that can survive them.

Do you have a favorite aesthetic from these 5? Personally, I’m a extracelestial girly. 👽✌️

I only covered 5 of the 21 Pinterest trends so if you want to see the full Pinterest trend report, just comment “pinterest” and I’ll send it over. 🤗
