Tom Ford has appointed Lucy Bridge as its first global makeup artist. Bridge officially began at the Spring 2026 ready-to-wear show in Paris, where her work featured vivid lip colors and graphic lashes. Known for her “boundary-defying approach to beauty,” Bridge will partner with Creative Director Haider Ackermann to translate the maison’s runway makeup vision. The appointment aims to uphold the house’s beauty codes while injecting a modern perspective celebrating individual expression. Bridge said she admires Tom Ford’s “cinematic, elegant, and unapologetic” approach to beauty.
