Awkwafina’s Golden Globes Nail Art Puts a Dark Twist on the Traditional French Manicure

Awkwafina put a modern spin on a few classic fashion and beauty staples at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Before making history as the first Asian actor to win the award for lead actress in a movie comedy/musical, the Farewell star hit the red carpet in a black and cream Christian Dior gown with a ruffled collar that she wore under a black blazer.

She paired the dress with an untraditional nail look, the “french moon” manicure, in which the white colour that’s normally used to trace a crescent shape along the tips is replaced with a dark or metallic colour. According to a few of her most recent Instagram posts, the nail art was designed by celebrity manicurist Thuy Nguyen, who also created trippy nail art for Joey King at the show.
