The Coolest Manicures At The 2024 Grammys
Featuring classic Frenchies and chrome finishes.
Fans had a visual and musical feast on Feb. 4 once the 2024 Grammys aired. Stars strolled the red carpet in barely-there ‘fits (like Miley Cyrus’ custom Margiela naked dress, for instance) and bold makeup looks (see also: Ayra Starr’s shimmery cut crease). From there, singers like Dua Lipa and SZA gave showstopping performances that had the entire crowd dancing along. But that doesn’t mean you should sleep on the details, like the best manicures of the night.
The Grammys are known for more daring glamour and fashion, after all. So it makes perfect sense that A-listers show up with more than just neutral nails; rather, there were French manis (as seen on Paris Hilton), stiletto tips with 3D adornments, duck nails, and — of course — chrome manicures. In other words, the stars delivered style and beauty inspo all the way down to their fingertips. (All the better for holding their Grammy awards, naturally.)
Whether you’re looking for mani inspo for your next salon appointment or just want to peek at the nail looks that made the highly anticipated red carpet, keep scrolling for the best looks spotted at the 2024 Grammys.
1Dua Lipa’s Sheer Polish
Dua Lipa let her disco-inspired gown do the talking by rocking a sheer manicure, one very in line with the trendy “quiet luxury” aesthetic.
2Paris Hilton’s Classic French Tips
While she often wears a shiny, colorful outfit, Paris Hilton tends to sport classic glam. Things were no different at the Grammys, where the mother of two sported textbook French tips.
3Gracie Abrams’ Glossy Black Nails
Sticking with the chic vibes of her Chanel ‘fit, Gracie Abrams wore a dark manicure courtesy of nail artist Betina Goldstein. The exact polish used? Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in Oiseau de Nuit, a super dark plum.
4Victoria Monét’s Holographic Chrome
Victoria Monét matched her manicure to her gown with chrome, copper-colored tips that stood out with an eye-grabbing holographic design. Manicurist Coca Michelle used OPI products to create the light-catching look.
5Christina Aguilera’s Baby Blue Chrome
Another matching mani moment: Christina Aguilera’s baby blue chrome tips, which were serving early 2000s realness.
6Ice Spice’s Duck Nails
The “Munch” singer loves a Y2K moment. To coincide with her Baby Phat outfit, Ice Spice wore duck nails — and this wasn’t her first time rocking the throwback mani look. She likes what she likes.
7Olivia Rodrigo’s Milk Bath Mani
Going for understated elegance with her makeup, gown, and manicure, the “Vampire” singer opted for minimal “milk bath” nails. Manicurist Yoko Sakakura layered two classic OPI colors, Put It In Neutral and Bubble Bath, to create the frothy shade.
8Chlöe Bailey’s Bejeweled Tips
Bringing full glam, Chlöe Bailey wore long lipstick-shaped nails adorned with 3D jewels — a definite red carpet-worthy manicure.
9Laverne Cox’s Nostalgic Cracked Nails
Matching her red gown, Cox’s French tip nails featured a nostalgic twist by way of some edgy texture thanks to crackle nail polish, a trend that ruled in early aughts. Manicurist Eri Ishizu used Aprés Nail products and red foil to achieve the look.
10Coco Jones’ Fairy Nails
For a head-turning manicure, celebrity nail artist Sreynin Peng painted a fairy-inspired nail design for Coco Jones that matched the pale turquoise of her dress. Peng used polishes from OPI’s new Your Way spring collection for the look.
