Zendaya’s nails look good enough to eat. At the 21 June Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring 2024 show, the actor supported Pharrell Williams in his new role as creative director with the prettiest take on “milk-bath” nails. Zendaya stayed true to the cloudy simplicity of the original trend, but instead of opting for the usual white hue, she went a different direction with a dreamy sky-blue colour fans are calling “blueberry milk.” She showed off the sweet manicure against her plunging sequin set styled by Law Roach.
Typically characterised by neutral or otherwise “milky” colours, “milk-bath” nails earned a loyal following for their simple and sophisticated finish. Gradually, some celebrities began to explore the trend further, with Jennifer Lopez adding a subtle shimmery top coat, and Sofia Carson leaning into “Barbiecore” with a light pink shade. But even with everything we’ve seen so far, Zendaya’s version, visible from the front row of the show, might just take the (blueberry) cake.
Edible iterations of the “milk-bath” manicure are not entirely novel, as seen with the “strawberry milk” nails worn by Marsai Martin and Florence Pugh. Still, there’s just something about blueberry that feels so perfect for summer. Read on to see Zendaya’s rendition at the Louis Vuitton show.
