Anya Taylor-Joy’s manicures never miss, and her latest set just proves that the “Tiffany blue” nail trend is here to stay. On Sept. 6, the actor attended the premiere of her new film “Sacrifice” at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) wearing a light-blue almond manicure that instantly popped against the red carpet. The pastel shade acted like a built-in accessory to her Cinderella-blue Dior dress.

The blue manicure trend had its big breakout last spring, when Hailey Bieber arrived at the Tiffany & Co. flagship reopening with chrome-dusted nails in the brand’s signature shade of blue, created by celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt. It quickly became a go-to inspo image on Instagram and TikTok, sparking thousands of recreations. Since then, blue manicures have only gotten more popular — from pastel “blueberry milk” nails to the viral “blue nail theory,” which claims that men are most likely to suggest blue when asked what color you should paint your nails. “Blues used to be a color people thought was a bit wild, but on the contrary, it actually can be very chic and classy,” nail artist Mi Nguyen told PopSugar. Taylor-Joy’s look is a perfect example.

Taylor-Joy’s TIFF nails, by celebrity manicurist Kim Truong, give the trend a fresh, high-fashion upgrade. Instead of chrome, she opted for a creamy, opaque pastel that feels crisp and modern while still evoking the Tiffany-blue vibe. The almond shape gave the shade a slightly elongated effect, turning the manicure into a statement accessory that elevated (and perfectly matched) her entire look. To recreate the look at home, you can paint over round or almond-shaped nails, like KISS’s Full Cover Nails ($10) with OPI’s Gelato On My Mind ($12) or Essie’s Find Me An Oasis ($7, originally $9).

Consider this your sign to take a break from neutrals and try a Tiffany-blue shade to transition into fall. Whether you add a chrome finish or keep it creamy like Taylor-Joy, it’s one of the most chic ways to wear the elegant color right now.
