Didn’t you know? No look at the 2025 Grammys is complete without a glamorous nail moment.

If the Grammys red carpet is a runway for fashion and beauty, then manicures are the final touch that ties a look together. This year, the 67th annual Grammy Awards proved that nails are just as much a statement as a couture gown or a perfectly sculpted updo.

For proof, just look at Chappell Roan’s extra-long gold chrome tips, for one. Cardi B, Cynthia Erivo, and Doechii also went for maximalist manis. Cardi B, for example, rocked tuxedo-style stiletto nails, while Erivo wore celestial-inspired works of art on her fingertips.

On the more low-key side, Taylor Swift went with a red manicure that matched her sequined mini dress, Charli XCX opted for a sheer pink moment, and Victoria Monét went with a chic pastel green nail color.

Just know that salons everywhere are about to be booked solid with people recreating these looks. Read on to see the best manicures spotted at the 2025 Grammys.
