Cardi B Paired a 3D Floral Dress With Rosebud Pink Nails

The minimalist manicure trend is everywhere, and often where you’d least expect it. The pared-back designs were found on some of Cannes’ Film Festival’s most stylish (like Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez), and manicure muse Hailey Bieber has even been co-signing the trend this summer. Cardi B is the latest to put her spin on the pared-back manicure—she wore simple polish with extra long length for a fashion show.

On July 1, Marc Jacobs held his Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection at the New York Public Library. Jacobs’ latest collections have been centered around paper dolls and exaggerated proportions, and this one explored similar themes. Cardi B made an entrance at the show in a statement floral dress paired with, you guessed it, a very simple (for her, at least) manicure.

For a Marc Jacobs runway show, you’d think the 31-year-old would experiment with a maximalist nail trend or add a touch of shimmer. But, instead, she let her outfit be the statement of her look and opted for a paired back rosebud pink manicure to compliment her floral dress. Cardi B’s take on the minimalist mani included painting the pink, nearly nude polish on extra long coffin-shaped nails, adding a touch of personal flair to the basic nail design.

The rapper paired her manicure with a beehive updo that rested at the top of her head in an intricate knot. Blunt bangs sat right at her eyebrow with two strands of hair framing her face.

Because she was wearing sunnies, it’s tough to tell what the rest of her eye makeup looked like. However, we can’t emphasize enough how much her dress was a statement in itself. It looked as though she wrapped herself in a floral arrangement—her dress was decorated with realistic-looking purple and yellow flowers. She styled the flower-adorned dress with matching sheer yellow tights and Marc Jacobs’ iconic Kiki Boots in white.
