Now that brat summer has come and gone, our favorite It-girls have officially declared the start of dark feminine fall—starting with their nails.

Selena Gomez traded in her signature bright and cheery nails for a darker, moody shade of deep purple for the season. While unexpected, her friend Taylor Swift also made a sudden shift to fall with her Reputation-coded cranberry lipstick and nails, so clearly, the pop-girlies are on board with the autumnal aesthetic.

Gomez gave fans a glimpse of her vampy mani at the premiere of Emilia Perez at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where she completed the goth glam look with bold red lipstick, Old Hollywood waves, and a custom Rodarte column gown in classic black.

As for what inspired Gomez’s sudden switch to the dark side? According to celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik he and Gomez “wanted to change up their nail game a bit” so they decided to “start fresh.”

“For color, we wanted a deep rich mysterious shade and I wanted something a little unique,” Bachik said of the inspiration behind the look, which he’s aptly coined the “Movie Star Mani.”

To get the look, Bachik removed Gomez’s long coffin nails with his “favorite Tweezerman tools,” and “for more of a glamorous movie star vibe,” applied a medium length nail, shaping them into a soft oval almond shape “to play off the silhouette of her gown.”

Bachik and Gomez then chose the shade ‘Purplexity’ from the Dynamic Duality collection by CND World, “a deep purple with a gold pearl finish,” and topped it all off with a CND World’s Shellac Top Coat “for a deep, high gloss shine.”

Bachik also shared his “secret weapon to any red carpet look” is a “cuticle cocktail.”

“Today, I used CND World Solar Oil and La Mer The Hand Treatment to rehydrate the cuticles and skin,” he said.

As for the official Selena Gomez red lip combo? According to her makeup artist Hung Vanngo, Gomez wore Rare Beauty’s recently launched Kind Words Matte Lip Liner and Kind Words Matte Lipstick in Devoted. Okay, femme fatale!
