The Best Nail Art Celebrities Wore on the 2018 Met Gala Red Carpet

Gold-dipped fingers are officially a thing now — and we love it — thanks to the extremely talented Steph Stone, who’s behind this genius Essie gel manicure for Katherine Langford, the star of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why.

Ashley Graham wore this ethereal and sparkly look complete with subtle bling (crystals from Swarovski — casual) crafted by manicure mastermind, Mar y Sol.

Leave it to the iconic “Barbie Tingz” singer to serve major nail art realness at the Met Gala. Ombré black-and-red with a cross appliqué was the perfect accent to her beautiful ensemble.

The Maleficent star served dark angel vibes with deep, basically black nails. Celebrity manicurist Fleury Rose painted Purnell’s nails with two coats of Grit Obscure and finished it off with a touch of nail gloss — both by Chanel, in case you’re curious.

Under those gorgeous mesh gloves, Jenner boasted a sleek baby-pink manicure courtesy of OPI’s GelColor in Put it in Neutral.

J.Lo kept it classic with a moody oxblood hue (OPI’s GelColor Malaga Wine), which complemented her show-stopping gown. The genius behind her mani? None other than Tom Bachik.

These swoon-worthy metallic maroon nails, crafted by celebrity nail artist Elle (that’s @enamelle on Instagram), were the most iconic accent to finish off Lively’s stunning Met Gala getup.

The “No Tears Left to Cry” singer debuted the most iconic Biblical nail design at the ball, complete with tiny Sistine Chapels. The artist behind it all? None other than Natalie Minerva of Nail Swag. A true work of art, if you ask us.

Looks like nail mastermind Mei Kawajiri painted the supermodel’s digits with pure gold, doesn’t it? While more minimal than some, we think this manicure was the prefect contrast to Hadid’s all-black ensemble.

Kawajiri coated the second half of the Hadid sister’s nails in tiny gold crystals, which surrounded green-, red-, and gold-striped detailing, which matched her stunning Versace gown.

Queen Cardi’s nails, crafted by her go-to artist Jenny Bui, served as the most mesmerizing accessory to her angelic Met Gala look. Each nail was emblazoned with jewels and pearls making them nearly impossible not to stare at.

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke kept it simple-yet-chic with pale pink polish and glittery crosses. Nail genius Alicia Torello used Orly products, including Kiss The Bride and Party In The Hills, to create the look.
