Parfaite! When in France, do as the French do and get a French manicure. When in Italy? Apparently, also do as the French do — at least if you’re Kaia Gerber.

The model just turned the Venice International Film Festival into her own runway, and while the plunging polka dots, sheer lace, and crisp whites had everyone talking, it was her nails that whispered chic. Gerber wore the daintiest micro-French manicure — a whisper-thin stripe of white at the tips, set against a nude base and sculpted into long, almond-shaped perfection. Think of it as “quiet luxury, but for your hands.”

From strolling hand-in-hand with Lewis Pullman to floating into premieres, the manicure was the constant. It worked with everything: romantic black lace, crisp whites, even flip-flop glamour (yes, that’s a thing). The micro-French is proof that the smallest details can make the biggest impact.

The best part? You don’t need a Venice red carpet moment to copy it. With a steady hand (or a solid set of press-ons), you can DIY this look at home. Keep it slim, keep it subtle, and voilà — timeless chic at your fingertips. Perfect for date nights, brunches, or casually sipping rosé on the balcony pretending you’re in Cannes.
Because if Kaia’s doing it, chances are, your nails want in too.
