“Frida” actress Salma Hayek appeared on the red carpet in an impeccable look and showed off a discreet manicure that never goes out of fashion and will become one of the main trends of 2026.
The Breakthrough Prize Ceremony 2026 (a ceremony that celebrates outstanding scientific achievements) brought together many stars. Among the guests was Salma Hayek with her husband Francois-Henri Pinault. For the event, the actress chose a black Gucci evening dress. The beauty details of the image deserve special attention. This is a vintage collected hairstyle, which emphasized the actress's gray locks, and makeup with coffee shadows combined with deep green eyeliner. However, her nails also deserve a special mention.

Salma Hayek's natural manicure: a spring 2026 trend
Salma Hayek opted for a natural-looking nude manicure. The look was done by manicurist Kimmy Kies, who has also worked with Elle Fanning and Heidi Klum. She created a subtle, minimalist design that never loses its relevance. Given that the rest of the look was already quite expressive, thanks to the sequined dress, David Webb jewelry, and high styling, short, neat nails in a soft square shape were the perfect finish.
This manicure is not subject to fashion. Trends like cat's eye, rich shades of green or brown, or metallic finishes may return seasonally, but well-groomed natural nails without decoration always remain a win-win choice for those who appreciate elegance.

This approach also remains popular among Hollywood's celebrity nail artists, with Bettina Goldstein creating short almond-shaped manicures for Gracie Abrams and Michelle Humphrey working on longer natural nails for Tessa Thompson.
