Taylor Swift has never been shy about her love for fall—and her latest autumnal manicure deserves the same status as her famous chai cookies: an instant seasonal staple.
Last night Swift was seen leaving Zero Bond in New York City with her longtime bestie, Gigi Hadid. The pair coordinated their dark fall layers, which made Swift’s sparkling cinnamon manicure even more eye-catching. While she’s been experimenting with longer nails and almond-shaped tips—especially since adding her massive engagement ring to the mix—this glittery short-nail look is a Swift classic.
The sparkling cinnamon look, which involves a warm amber base color topped with matching glitter, is similar in concept to the toasted nail trend that’s been sweeping our feeds this fall. Celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik, who coined the viral toasted manicure, told Glamour that “golden-hour tones” and fine, shimmery finishes (“iridescence, mirror chromes, even cat-eye effects”) are essential to creating the look. Swift’s take on the subtle trend adds a maximalist touch since she opted for a more defined glitter coat.
The singer’s current nails also nod to her recently released (and glitter-drenched) album, The Life of a Showgirl, which claims orange as its signature color. If you’re looking for a November manicure that bridges the gap between fall-coded and festive, this is the one to copy immediately.
What else is T-Swift bringing back for the season? Snakeskin print (as seen on both her knee-high boots and crossbody bag), fishtail braids, and oversized jackets. For this most recent outing, she wore her hair long and sleek with her signature blunt bangs—a look that feels both Red-era nostalgic and fall-to-winter-chic.
While there’s no doubt that a fresh WAG look-book will be dropping from Swift in the coming weeks, we’re savoring her recent street-style moments. When we all pull up to Thanksgiving with sparkling cinnamon manis this year, we’ll be the first to say we’re grateful for the early inspo.
