Overview
- Following Tuesday's Met Gala red carpet, fashion outlets identified three leading manicure trends that dominated photos: metallic chrome finishes, neutral “naked” tones and 3D appliqués.
- British Vogue highlighted the surge of metallics across the carpet, with Ashley Graham’s silver-dipped fingers and high-shine talons standing out as a showpiece.
- Neutral beiges and taupes were a frequent choice for a minimalist look, seen on Kendall Jenner, Margot Robbie and Nicole Kidman.
- Sabrina Carpenter wore a French manicure styled to look like film reels, and nail artists Tom Bachik and Mei Kawajiri earned credits for Emma Chamberlain’s Starry Night set and Gigi Hadid’s vanilla chrome.
- Appliqué-heavy nails landed as couture statements, with BlackPink’s Lisa layering blue and silver rhinestones onto her nails and hands, while coverage doubled as how-to guidance for salon visits.
