The 2024 Oscars' Best Nail Looks

The 2024 Oscars Best Nail Looks
All the best nail looks from the 2024 Oscars, from Vanessa Hudgens' modern French tips to Eva Longoria's "mannequin manicure."

On March 10, the world’s biggest stars turned up on the Hollywood red carpet in celebration of the 96th annual Academy Awards.

It goes without saying that the gorgeous gowns and stunning hair and makeup often garner the most attention from fans following all the fashion and beauty looks — but on-trend nails can help serve as the chic icing on the cake.

This year, many A-listers opted for timeless manicures (see: French tips everywhere), though several leading ladies went bold with their nail art looks via dazzling silver and gold polish hues.

Anya Taylor-Joy, for example, paired her light-catching silver gown with a shiny silver mani. Lily Gladstone similarly rocked a silver chrome set, choosing a slightly deeper gunmetal color, while Laverne Cox traded in traditional white-tipped Frenchies for a sun-drenched gold shade.

In need of some inspo ahead of your next salon appointment? Below, find the best manicures from the 2024 Oscars.
