If there’s one celebrity we can count on to deliver an awe-inspiring manicure, it’s Megan Thee Stallion. During Paris Couture Week on Jan. 27, the rapper dominated the front row at the Giambattista Valli show, where she donned an orange hooded gown with feathery detailing, “cowboy-copper” bangs, and glowy makeup by Priscilla Ono. The pièce de résistance of her look that has us absolutely obsessed? Her nails.
Megan’s nails, which were considerably short compared to past looks, consisted of multiple colors, designs, and nail art, with each finger boasting its own personality. One hand featured a turquoise quartz design that resembled a birthstone and an orange, pinky chrome. The other hand was adorned with textures that were similar, yet different – a topaz pinky finger with hints of orange, both index fingers painted nude with a small gold circle, and bronze chrome tips.
The “Savage” artist’s manicure suggests a return of one of our favorite trends: mismatched nail art. For those unfamiliar, the fad – which was last seen in full force back in 2020 but was shortly replaced by the undeniable wave of minimalist manicures – allows full creative freedom to get a different design or color on each finger, creating a set that doesn’t match, but abstractly makes sense. Megan has more than mastered this concept with her sets thanks to her nail artist, Coca Michelle, who’s crafted many of her past outlandish nail combinations – from gold, 3D charm nails to her Gilded Glamour nails for the 2022 Met Gala.
In case you’re not into the dessert-inspired looks other stars, like Zendaya and Jennifer Lopez have touted lately, consider Megan’s latest manicure a sign to give mismatched nails a try. You’ll be sure to thank us later once the compliments start rolling in. Take a closer look at her nails below.
