Forget just the frocks – this year’s Met Gala, themed “Tailored for You” in conjunction with the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition, proved that style truly extends to the fingertips. With tailoring reaching new heights of sophistication, the dazzling details weren’t limited to the red carpet gowns and suits; celebrity manicures became miniature works of art, demanding a closer look.
All eyes were undoubtedly on Jennie, and she didn’t disappoint. Her custom Chanel ensemble, a chic skirt layering over a black jumpsuit, was elevated by the exquisite nail artistry of Zola Ganjorit. Ganjorit crafted a delicate French manicure with a nude pink base, meticulously incorporating white camellia elements and delicate pearl strings that echoed the embellishments on Jennie’s outfit, adding a touch of refined elegance to her hands.
But Ganjorit’s talent shone on another star as well: Sabrina Carpenter. Carpenter’s custom Louis Vuitton look, featuring a striking burgundy pinstripe bodysuit and a dramatic corseted jacket, found its perfect complement in her nails. Ganjorit cleverly integrated the LV logo and a burgundy French tip, making it appear that the manicure was an intricate embroidery piece.
Lisa, fresh off her dazzling Coachella appearances, once again entrusted her nail look to Juan Alvear for the Met Gala. Alvear delivered a bold statement, layering red French tips over a shimmering silver glitter base. He then added nail art inspired by Louis Vuitton’s iconic monogram, creating a striking and personalized finish.
Zendaya, ever the style icon, commanded attention in a pristine white zoot suit by Pharrell Williams, complete with a silk shirt, vest, tie, tuxedo, and flared pants, all topped with a dramatic floppy hat. In contrast to the flowing silhouette, her nails, crafted by Caroline Cotton, offered a sharp and modern edge. Cotton opted for vibrant red square-shaped coffin nails, a clean yet impactful detail that perfectly complemented Zendaya’s classic, streamlined aesthetic.
So, who takes home the title of Met Gala‘s Best Nails? Each celebrity, through the skilled hands of their nail artists, masterfully connected their manicure to their overall look, embodying the “Tailored for You” theme in a unique and captivating way. From Jennie’s delicate Chanel homage to Zendaya’s bold red statement, the true winner is the artistry and attention to detail that transformed fingertips into unforgettable fashion statements.
