All The Prettiest Manicures At The 2025 Golden Globes
Classy tips ahead.
The new year marks the start of Hollywood’s awards season blitz, and Sunday night’s Golden Globes kickstarted the glitzy celebrations.
Aside from glamorous hair and makeup moments, a show-stopping manicure is a total must for any A-list event. For the 2024 ceremony, classic French tip nails were spotted on a number of A-listers, along with traditional shades of sheer pink polish. This year, the former was seen on Selena Gomez, while the latter was spotted on boldface names like Zendaya, Anya Taylor-Joy, and many others.
Besides more traditional manicure designs, some stars opted for bold tips. True to her signature “more is more” style, Cynthia Erivo, for one, didn’t disappoint with her XXL nails, which were covered in colorful marble designs and sparkly silver charms. Quinta Brunson, meanwhile, sported mauve glass nails with gold chrome accents, and Jennifer Coolidge went with a funky ombré manicure.
