Tiny Details You Missed From the Best Manicures at the 2021 Oscars

When it comes to award show beauty, sometimes it’s all in the details – which is especially true if we’re talking about celebrities’ nails. Oftentimes, the manicures can be one of the most exciting and beautiful aspects of a beauty look, and luckily for us, the 2021 Oscars didn’t disappoint on that front.
Although award season looked a little different this year, the celebrities in attendance decided to make up for it by serving all of the glamour with their nail art. There were plenty of modern updates on the french manicure, proving that the design is staying put, and also lots of sparkly accents that glistened on the red carpet.
Our favorite designs include Andra Day’s classic french manicure with a V-shaped twist and Maria Bakalova’s “french moonlight” nails created by Betina Goldstein. And we have to shout-out Glenn Close, who even had an on-trend manicure hiding underneath her gloves on the red carpet.
Zoom in on some of the best manicures of the 2021 Oscars ahead.
H.E.R.'s Midnight Blue Manicure at the 2021 Oscars
H.E.R. just found our new favorite manicure shade – a midnight blue that glistened in the light and matched her outfit perfectly. Oh, and of course it looked even better next to her Oscar.
Tiara Thomas's Graphic White Manicure at the 2021 Oscars
Tiara Thomas’s manicure looked like it was pulled right from our Instagram feed. The design, which has been referred to as the “Pucci” manicure, is everywhere at the moment. There are so many ways to wear it and we love that Thomas chose to match her all-white outfit with the crisp white swooping lines on her nails.
Emerald Fennell's Pink Glitter Nails at the 2021 Oscars
Emerald Fennell matched her dress with her nails by wearing a solid rosy pink glitter hue painted by manicurist Yoko Sakakura. We’ll never get tired of glitter nail polish, especially when it’s this sparkly.
Regina King's Silver Manicure at the 2021 Oscars
Regina King’s metallic blue Louis Vuitton column gown was the star of the show at the 2021 Oscars, but her manicure complemented it. This cool-toned shade of silver was the perfect choice for the occasion and reignited our love for metallic silver.
