Google’s annual recap of the most-searched terms and questions gives us a peek at the topics that captivated us most throughout the year. To be expected, there were some surprises (Sylvester Stallone was the most-searched actor?) and some not-so-surprises (Meghan Markle was the most-searched person and Royal Wedding came in at number four for news).
Looking back at the fashion, 2018 seemed a lot more like 1980, 1990 or 2000, as these decades dominated our style searches — hardly a surprise given the number of brands and fashion designers that took inspiration from these decades or even dipped into their archives. When it came to top trending fashion brands, nine of the top 10 brands were luxury designers like Louis Vuitton and Versace. But coming in at number one was millennial fast fashion favorite Fashion Nova.
In terms of beauty, eyelash inquiries took the top three spots as searchers wanted to know how to apply magnetic lashes and what exactly is a lash lift. For more insights into the year’s top fashion and beauty searches, check out the lists below.
