Rihanna Leans Into Summer’s Minimalist Mani Trend With ‘Lilac-Milk Nails’

Any time Rihanna steps out, we know she’s going to deliver a memorable look—whether it’s her streetwear style or creative beauty takes. She’s back at it once again, this time with a surprisingly simple trending summer manicure we can’t wait to copy.

The Fenty Beauty founder and her partner, A$AP Rocky, arrived in Brussels on Saturday, June 28, for the world premiere of the movie Smurfs (which she produced, and for which she voiced the character of Smurfette). The pair walked the red—ahem—blue carpet together, with Rihanna in a baby blue ensemble on theme with the event. The sheer top showed off her growing baby bump, as she’s currently pregnant with baby number three.

As dutiful beauty editors, our eyes couldn’t help but instantly wander to her manicure, a lilac-milk look created by celebrity nail artist Jenny Longworth, who, aside from working with Rihanna, is also responsible for some of Harry Styles’s nail looks.

Rihanna’s lilac mani couldn’t be simpler, and that’s the beauty of it. It’s a superlight purple that almost comes across as white with a shiny, milky finish. It’s a summer mani that’ll match with anything and grow out nicely. The slightly translucent (like her soft pastel babydoll top) milk-bath finish is light, fresh, and breezy—just what we need on these scorching hot days.
