爱上海同城对对碰交友论坛 Shanghai has long been China's fashion capital, but a new generation of local women are taking style leadership to unprecedented levels. The "Haipai" (Shanghai-style) beauty aesthetic emerging in 2025 combines elements of 1930s qipao elegance with futuristic tech-inspired looks. At the newly opened Xintiandi Beauty Lab, young Shanghainese women experiment with AI-powered makeup simulations while preserving traditional skincare rituals like jade rolling.
The numbers reveal this cultural phenomenon's scale. Shanghai now hosts over 3,000 beauty concept stores (a 200% increase since 2020), with local women spending 38% more on cosmetics than the national average. What makes Shanghai's approach unique is its intellectualization of beauty - the city's numerous "Beauty Book Clubs" discuss aesthetics as cultural philosophy, while university courses on fashion history see 70% female enrollment.
This movement has economic implications too. Shanghai-born beauty influencers now dominate Chinese social media, with local girl group "SH Angels" becoming the face of three multinational cosmetics brands. As cultural critic Li Wen notes, "Shanghai women aren't just following trends - they're writing the next chapter in global beauty culture." With the 2026 Shanghai International Beauty Week expanding to include a tech summit, the city's influence appears set to grow further.
