All The Must-See Manicures From The 2025 Met Gala

Sha’Carri Richardson always has an on-point manicure on the track — and the same applies when she attends fashion’s biggest night out. To create a gorgeous color story with her lavender and butter yellow dress, the athlete sported multicolored tips — courtesy of nail tech Angie Aguirre using OPI polish — covered in an array of rainbow-hued gemstones.

Sabrina Carpenter wore Louis Vuitton to the Met Gala — and not just as her outfit. Celebrity manicurist Zola Ganzorigt also stamped the singer’s double French tips with the designer logo on her ring fingers as a fashionable accent. She created the mani using OPI products.

As a remix to a classic, Gabrielle Union rocked ombré French tip nails, courtesy of celebrity manicurist Thuy Nguyen, who used DND Inner Peace as the actor’s base with DND White Chalk for the faded effect.

Another modern version of the traditional French nail design was spotted on supermodel Victoria Ceretti, who sported a micro French tip. Celebrity manicurist Kim Truong used DND Gel in Black Licorice for the subtle accent.

Upon taking a closer look at Sydney Sweeney’s fingertips, you’ll see they’re not just a pretty shade of pink (though they are, thanks to OPI’s Bubble Bath and Bare My Soul). Zanzorigt gave the actor a stunning cat-eye French tip complete with red carpet-worthy gold outlines.

Ayra Starr’s extra glittery aquamarine-colored nails, which featured black stiletto tips, stood out against her black ensemble.

Olympian Gabby Thomas wore a chic set of press-ons to the Met Gala that basically looked like an elevated French mani. For the look, celebrity manicurist Maki Sakamoto used a neutral-colored KISS Nails glue-on design that featured glitter and crystals for a sophisticated touch.

Serving a master class in manicure-outfit coordination, Ego Nwodim rocked black nails adorned in an array of colorful buttons, which perfectly matched those on her sleeves. Celebrity manicurist Betina Goldstein created the look using CND Black Pool as the base nail polish.

Another star who coordinated their nails with their outfit? None other than Chappell Roan, whose bright pink manicure — complete with chrome silver star decals — looked just like an extension of her ‘fit. Celebrity manicurist Dawn Sterling created the singer’s set using OPI’s Without A Pout.

Lizzo opted to wear extra-long stiletto-shaped tuxedo-style French nails — in traditional tux colors, mind you — that matched her black and white dress.

Fun fact: The half moon manicure dates back to Old Hollywood. And that’s exactly why Ciara’s Met Gala nails, which featured the classic design, were the perfect choice — especially paired with her flapper-style gown.

To create a modern twist on a traditional design, celebrity nail artist Rachel Sun shaped Doechii’s neutral-colored mani into a C-curve using OPI’s GELevate™ Soft Gel Tips in the square shape.
