Olivia Rodrigo

Leaving BBC Studios, Olivia Rodrigo paired polka dots with a neon green for a look that was vintage-inspired and ultra feminine.

There is something about a leather mini skirt and graphic tee that just works—it's edgy and tows the line between dressed up and casual. This week, out and about in London, Olivia Rodrigo reminded us of this tried and true outfit formula.

Tessa Thompson

Tessa Thompson was spotted leaving ABC Studios in New York City in a look that reminded us of the power of pattern clashing—especially as the weather heats up. Her dress featured patches of different prints that together made a dress both bold and chic.

Chase Infiniti

For an appearance on The Daily Show, actress Chase Infiniti wore a full burgundy look from Oude Waag's Fall 2026 collection: a cropped jacket, a draped skirt, and a blouse with a dramatic tie detail.

Colman Domingo

Colman Domingo is a fashion icon, plain and simple. In this case, his slightly flared cream pants, long gray quote, and oversized plum tie for a day of press in France reminded us that men's fashion can be fun, too.

Kylie Jenner

On a Turks & Caicos beach, Kylie Jenner tested the limits of a side plunge in a white racer-back maxi dress.

Kaia Gerber

When we want to look laid-back and cool but chic at the same time, we often find ourselves turning to Kaia Gerber for inspiration. On a stroll through New York City this week, Gerber paired a black t-shirt with three quarter length sleeves and a flattering hem with classic blue jeans and black ballet flats.

Over in Los Angeles, Kaia Gerber had us realizing that trench coats work for summer, too—especially in white. She paired her white trench coat with the it-girl shoe of the season (thong heels), a black midi skirt, and a red shoulder bag.

Dua Lipa

For a DUA by Augustinus Bader pop-up event in Paris, Lipa wore a two-toned embellished mini dress from Isabel Marant's Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

With a book as her best accessory, Dua Lipa paired a red top with a deep plunge and neck tie detail with mid-rise blue jeans and a black belt.

Chloe Fineman

Something about Chloe Fineman's straight from the hair salon look just speaks to me. The white tank with the button up wrapped around her waist paired with the oversized black trousers and black flip-flops are effortlessly chic on their own, but the clips still in her hair really make the look.

Mindy Kaling

For the New York City premiere of her new series Not Suitable For Work, Mindy Kaling was golden in an intricately embroidered midi dress by Australian designer Rachel Gilbert.

Ayo Edebiri

We didn't really need to be reminded that Ayo Edebiri is a cool girl, but we were nonetheless. Edebiri paired oversized black pinstriped trousers with classic black Tabi flats, a baggy white graphic t-shirt, a denim jacket, and a baseball cap.

Hilary Duff

For her first appearance at the American Music Awards in decades, forever icon Hilary Duff wore a shimmery silver chainmail dress by Rabanne.

Teyana Taylor

For the 2026 American Music Awards, fashion icon Teyana Taylor wore a radiant purple semi-sheer dress by Balenciaga. The show-stopping element? The ultra high thigh slit.

Daisy Edgar-Jones

Out and about at the Cannes Film Festival, Daisy Edgar-Jones once again taught us something about transitional dressing. She wore white jeans, black flats, and a gray knit short sleeve top with a matching cardigan tied over her shoulders. Plus, she completed her look with the highly coveted Balenciaga Rodeo Bag in a brown suede.

Out and about at the Cannes Film Festival, Daisy Edgar-Jones wore the black coated metallic cotton Joey Dress and Winslow Jacket from FFORME's Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

Natalia Dyer

For a Stranger Things Netflix event in Los Angeles, Natalia Dyer wore a long sleeved lace mini dress with a burnt orange overlay and matching tie details on the cuffs and neck.

Kaia Gerber

Leaving an event for her book club Library Science, Kaia Gerber presented us with an easy to execute yet chic spring and summer outfit formula: cropped lacey top, mid to low rise blue jeans, and black ballet flats. Her greatest accessory? The stack of books in her hand.

Tilda Swinton

We didn't necessarily need to be reminded of this, but Tilda Swinton is a fashion icon through and through. For the premiere of La Bola Negra at the Cannes Film Festival, Swinton wore a two piece set from Chanel's Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection featuring a burnout velvet finish.

Dua Lipa

For another day in Cannes, Dua Lipa wore a textured dress by Jacquemus.

To celebrate her skincare line DUA by Augustinus Bader launching in Selfridges, Lipa wore Kim Shui's classic v-neck butterfly print silk chiffon dress, styled by Lorenzo Posocco.

Iris Law

For the Louis Vuitton Cruise show, Iris Law embraced pattern clashing in a black and white patterned crop top and bronzey beige patterned long shorts.

Zendaya

Zendaya attended the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 show in a silky, shiny gray slouchy, off-the-shoulder mini dress and pumps that perfectly matched.

Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid brought crochet to the Cannes Film Festival, and in the most sultry way imaginable. The custom Schiaparelli gown was slightly sheer, featured a deep plunge and long sleeves, and reportedly required over 22,000 hours of embroidery work.

Cara Delevingne

At the Cannes Film Festival, model and actress Cara Delevigne debuted a French girl fringe hairdo and wore a perfectly tailored navy pinstriped suit by Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann.

Natasha Lyonne

Natasha Lyonne reminded us that Valentino's Rockstud heels are so back. Ahead of the Met Gala, Lyonne paired her white heels with white lacey tights, a floral embellished jacket, a denim mini skirt, and blueish gray lace top. Her look was complete with Valentino's Panthea bag.

Florence Pugh

For the 2026 Netflix Upfront event, Florence Pugh wore an ivory silk dress with long sleeves, slightly puffy shoulders, and a poppy motif from Simone Rocha's Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

Lady Gaga

Isabelle Huppert

At the Cannes Film Festival, Isabelle Huppert said goodbye to Balenciaga and hello to Gucci. She paired a pleated red gown with matching red opera gloves and Chopard jewelry.

Julia Fox

I think it's time that we crown Julia Fox the queen of pattern clashing—in the most fun, positive, and chic way imaginable. For the "Voyage Through the Diamond Realm" event in New York City in a dress from Viktor & Rolf's Fall/Winter 2021 Couture collection consisting of patchwork tapestry materials and mismatched bows.

Simone Ashley

Simone Ashley reminded us that the day-to-day, off-duty looks at Cannes are equally as important as the red carpet looks. And, she reminded us of the power of a simple, floral-printed midi dress for spring and summer.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa simmered in silver sequins from head-to-toe: a zip up mini dress and zip up boots to match.

Daisy Edgar-Jones

Daisy Edgar-Jones reminded us that we are still (somehow) in a transitional period seasonally—not that we necessarily needed that reminder. She did, however, give us the perfect, tried and true outfit inspo for this trying time: classic jeans, black boots, a trench coat, plus a sweater wrapped around her shoulders.

Bella Hadid

For a launch event for a her brand Orebella, Bella Hadid wore Chloé from to head to toe: a dainty white lingerie inspired mini dress with puffy leaves and precious lace detailing, and chunky chestnut brown clogs.

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner would pair a $38 basic white tank top with a $63,000 Birkin bag for a Knicks game. That dichotomy aside, what really caught our eyes (aside from her perfectly fitting bootcut jeans) were her Miu Miu Mules in Knicks orange.

Billie Eilish

Speaking of Miu Miu Mules! For the premiere of her concert film, Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard And Soft, Billie Eilish paired gray Miu Miu mules with a full Prada look: a baggy polo over an oversized white button up top, a black pleated skirt, and red and navy blue knee high socks.

Chase Infiniti

In a colorful, tasseled dress featuring sequins in the form of the female body, Chase Infiniti was 2026 Met Gala MVP.

Eileen Gu

Okay, I have two Met Gala MVPs. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Eileen Gu in Iris Van Herpen: a mini dress constructed of clear glass bubbles with a bubble machine built in.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa walked the stone streets of Copenhagen in denim cutoffs (accessorized with a black belt), a black and white striped long-sleeve shirt, and thong heels.

Billie Eilish

For the London premiere of Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour, Billie Eilish wore Celine from head to toe: a perfectly oversized a perfectly oversized wool suit jacket, royal blue button up top that peeked through, pleated trousers, a neck-tie, and black and white low-profile sneakers.

Sarah Pidgeon

Out and about in NYC, Sarah Pidgeon served much needed pops of color and pattern. She wore a strawberry red button up top with a slight peplum, classic light wash jeans, Chanel pumps with strawberries on the heels and, to complete the look, an oversized leopard print Chanel flap bag.

Hailey Bieber

Hailey Bieber might just have us trading in our baby tees for oversized tees. Bieber made a strong case with casual dressing and minimalism in a slightly oversized long sleeve white tee shirt, classic blue jeans, and the it girl shoe of the moment: her heeled Toteme flip flops.

Laufey

Laufey brought the naked dress trend to the 2026 Billboard Women In Music event—and in the most coquette way imaginable. She wore a vintage-inspired sheer Chloe dress featuring frills, lace details, and black neck tie detail.

Anne Hathaway

If I was Anne Hathaway, I would be wearing this leopard print Michael Kors coat on repeat, too. This time she paired the coat with a bright red dress, red Manolo Blahnik pumps, and a croc Aspinal of London bag.

Janelle Monáe

A$AP Rocky

Full disclosure: A$AP Rocky is team Coveteur's communal celebrity crush. Can you really blame us? For Chanel's 2027 cruise show in Biarritz, France, Rocky wore a tan suede jacket, a red button up shirt, gray pants, reddish brown shoes, and a bubble-gum pink Chanel flap bag.

Audrey Nuna

For the 2026 Billboard Women In Music event, Audrey Nuna was a vision in two shades of ballerina pink. Her Raf Simons look consisted of a slouchy, cowl-necked knit top and skirt featuring a bubble silhouette layered over tulle.

Skin Gym Facial Cupping Set

"Do I look crazy when I use facial cups in the morning? Absolutely yes. But I swear, they are the absolute best at getting your blood moving, bringing oxygen to the skin, and minimizing puffiness. I just apply a nourishing facial oil, then glide the cups in an upward and outward motion along my jaw, cheekbones, and forehead, then use the smaller cups to circle my eyes. Bye-bye, sallow skin." - Hannah Baxter, former Senior Beauty Editor

T3 Smooth ID Flat Iron

"My hair is an interesting combination—it’s wavy, color-treated, thick, and fine, which means I never really know how much heat is safe to use when styling it. I’m always afraid of causing undue damage, which is why I love this T3 iron, which uses advanced technology to determine which of the nine heat settings is right for your hair based on length, texture, and color. It also has a flat, smart-touch interface, which is très fancy, and it’s super lightweight, so my arm doesn’t get tired while I attempt to create the perfect S-wave." - Hannah Baxter

Odacité Crystal Contour Gua Sha Rose Quartz

"If you’re constantly battling puffiness, like me, then a gua sha stone is a must for your beauty tool kit. I use it in the same direction as I do the facial cups to get the lymph fluid moving, and then I take the smaller side and use it under my ear and jaw to drain that lymph node down my neck. With regular use, your face will look more lifted, sculpted, and positively radiant." - Hannah Baxter

PureLift Face

"God bless this wonderful little—but very mighty—tool. I learned about it from my facialist at Face Gym in Noho and think it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in the last year. I use it two to three times a week and see a noticeable difference in face definition, reduction of puffiness, and overall tightening." - Jessica Teves, former Head of Brand

Georgia Louise Cryo Freeze Tools

"Whenever I’m feeling extra puffy, I turn to these very reliable cryo face tools from Georgia Louise—they help with inflammation and also, if I’m being really honest, days when I’m also experiencing really bad allergies!" - Jessica Teves

ZIIP HALO Microcurrent Facial Device

"This is my ride-or-die. No other tool in my arsenal gives me as dramatic results as the ZIIP does. If you haven’t yet delved into the world of at-home microcurrent, you are missing out. The ZIIP is especially fantastic because they have an app with pre-programmed tutorials to follow along with, so even the most novice beauty lover can partake in the microcurrent club." - former Head of Creative & Production, Abby Miller

Dr. Dennis Gross Pro Facial Steamer

"There is no beauty tool more luxurious or relaxing than this facial steamer. I actually look forward to nights where I clear my schedule and just plant myself in front of my steamer and pretend I am in a spa." - Abby Miller

Sarah Chapman The Facialift Sculpting Facial Massager

"This crazy little device is meant to mimic the knuckle massage that facialists do when you get a professional facial. It's a great way to instantly de-bloat when your face is feeling extra puffy." - Abby Miller

Aceology The Original Blue Ice Globe Facial Massager

"I toss these bad boys in the refrigerator (or freezer if I’m feeling really crazy) and add a few droplets of Supernal Cosmic Glow Oil to get the balls rolling, no pun intended. It’s sort of shocking seeing the magic of a good 15–30-minute lymphatic massage. These have been serious game changers for me." - former Associate Creative Producer, Halle Lagatta

Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

"This mask has become the cherry on top of my Sunday Spa Routine. I like to use the blended setting and rest my eyes for a minute while the mask does all the work!" Halle Lagatta

Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting Bar

"When I’m feeling extra puffy or in need of some wrinkle preventative treatment, I grab this bar and smooth my problems away! If only every skin-care concern could be erased away with gold..." - Halle Lagatta

Ranavat Botanics Kansa Wand

"A Kansa wand is for sure one of my desert-island beauty staples. It is an Ayurvedic metal alloy tool that not only assists the skin in lymphatic drainage, but also balances the skin’s pH (an ideal two-in-one combination, if you ask me). I use this every morning and night, and throughout the day when I tend to experience tension headaches or the effects of my TMJ. It’s a simple tool that feels heavenly as it traces its way along my face." - former Beauty Writer, Isabella Sarlija

Wilding Aura Stone

"Repeat after me: Lymph nodes exist throughout the body, not just the face! Just as we massage our faces to support its lymphatic drainage system, we must not neglect the lymph nodes on our bodies. I use this body gua sha stone to help keep the skin on my arms and legs firm and plump. I love that it’s huge in comparison to other gua sha stones, as it makes scraping the skin on my stomach, legs, and back a breeze. This stone also helps to relieve my sore muscles the day after a long run." - Isabella Sarlija

Stacked Skincare High Frequency Acne Device

"I’ve suffered from acne for most of my adolescent and adult life, during which time I was a serial picker. As we all know, popping pimples can unleash undue damage to the skin and cause some long-lasting acne scars that are a pain to champion. I have my acne at bay these days, but I love to reach for this device whenever I feel a hormonal bump coming to the surface. This device uses a small electrical current to *literally* zap acne into oblivion. The electricity oxygenates the skin, which eliminates acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation." - Isabella Sarlija

Act+Acre Microfiber Hair Towel

"To be honest, most days I am too lazy to pull out my blow-dryer, so I have been leaning into air-drying. With long, thick hair, it can take hours for my hair to dry naturally. This towel from Act+Acre has been a game changer to my hair routine. My hair air dries much faster, and the microfiber towel eliminates damage and breakage—a win-win for the lazy-girl hair routine." - former Senior Marketing Manager, Kelsey Dobbs

Goop G.Tox Ultimate Dry Brush

"I have been in a casual relationship with dry brushing for several years now, and have vowed to take it more seriously. Before I hop in the shower, I use this to dry-brush my body (always brushing towards the direction of my heart) for increased circulation, lymphatic drainage, and exfoliation. This brush is easy to use and gentler than some of the others I have tried." - Kelsey Dobbs

Esarora Ice Roller for Face & Eye

"This facial roller is one of my all-time favorite beauty tools. I run this tool over my face on mornings when I am feeling extra puffy or have enjoyed one too many margaritas—it feels like an at-home spa treatment for under $25!" - Kelsey Dobbs

Julia McClement (Critic Award Winner, Intimate Apparel)

"I hope that the future of fashion shifts toward a more sustainable approach for the sake of everyone on earth. Owning fewer pieces, but choosing ones that are timeless to you and made to last. Sustainability shouldn’t mean losing your sense of style or individuality. It should still allow people to express themselves, be creative, and have fun with fashion."

Jonathan Marroquin (Critic Award Winner, Sportswear)

"Society has an obsession with perfection, especially in the fashion industry, with how people should act, how people should look. It creates pressure on people who can’t afford nice clothing and isolates them from acceptance. Hence, the mass market thrives on counterfeits and replicas of luxury items due to this need to fit in. 

Redefining a classic garment meant to radiate luxury, I contradict the standards of beauty and perfection. Demonstrated with this oversized button-down flipped upside down so the collar now sits at the waist, it creates beauty out of something that is not deemed beautiful or tailored. Beauty is not about perfection; it is about presence. It is about being seen, even in what was once meant to be hidden. Fashion is for everyone."

Rachel Marino (Critic Award Winner, Knitwear)

"I think the future of fashion should be more thoughtful and intentional. There’s been such a strong focus on fast consumption for so long, and I think the industry is starting to shift toward valuing quality, longevity, and sustainability in a more meaningful way. I’d like to see fashion continue moving toward more responsible production practices, especially when it comes to materials, waste, and how garments are made. At the same time, I don’t think sustainability should limit creativity. I think it can actually push innovation further and encourage designers to approach fashion in new ways. I also think people are becoming more conscious about what they buy and the impact behind it, which is changing the conversation around fashion as a whole. To me, the future of fashion is about finding a balance between creativity, craftsmanship, and responsibility while creating work that feels lasting and intentional rather than disposable."

Ellen Kim (Critic Award Winner, Sportswear)

"The future of fashion should aim to build on the existing sustainability efforts that we have at the moment. Especially with the rise of artificial intelligence, we’ve witnessed how negatively unsustainable practices are impacting our environment. I think designers from our generation are aware and will focus on creating zero-waste products, while also practicing circular design. 

At the same time, the world is noticeably more interconnected than ever due to social media. We should be expecting to see more culturally-driven designs that don’t dilute local identities, but instead represent them in a prideful manner."

Ainsley Goldman (Critic Award Winner, Special Occasion)

"I think the future of fashion has to move beyond aspiration built purely through status, logos, or exclusivity, because today’s consumer is searching for something deeper. In a market shaped by economic pressure, digital over-saturation, and cultural change, younger generations are no longer buying luxury simply to display wealth, they are buying into meaning, identity, experience, and emotional connection. The future of fashion should feel immersive and emotionally intelligent. Instead of asking consumers to admire a brand from a distance, fashion should invite them to live inside the story. The brands that will define the next era of luxury are the ones that understand culture in real time—through film, music, nostalgia, wellness, technology, and community—and use those resources to create experiences that feel personal rather than performative. I also believe couture has an important role in that future. Couture should not only represent craftsmanship and fantasy, but also intention. Fashion has long focused on visual impact, yet rarely considers how clothing makes the wearer feel physically, emotionally, or energetically. I think the future of couture should explore a more holistic relationship between the garment and the body, through fabrication, movement, color, craftsmanship, and sensory experience. To me, the future of fashion is not about creating more products. It is about creating deeper connections: garments that carry emotion, cultural relevance, and personal meaning, while still preserving the artistry and dream that make fashion powerful in the first place."

Kat Lin (Critic Award Winner, Special Occasion)

"I want the future of fashion to be an environment where every person has a fair opportunity to have a standing regardless of their background. I envision a fashion industry that values authenticity over exclusivity and purpose over profit."

Beatrice (Xuan) Mak (Critic Award Winner, Knitwear, and First Prize Winner, Roc Nation Inaugural Student Design Competition)

"The future of fashion should slow down. For too long, the industry has been driven by speed—faster trends, faster production, faster consumption. But I believe the next chapter of fashion looks more like art than business. It looks intentional.

As a knitwear designer, I work with a craft that is inherently slow. Every stitch is a decision. Every texture tells a story. That process has taught me that the most meaningful pieces aren’t the ones made quickly, but thoughtfully. I envision a future where designers are given the space to create without the pressure of endless seasonal cycles, where consumers invest in fewer, better pieces that they truly connect with, and where fashion is appreciated the way we appreciate art: for its concept, its emotion, and the hands that made it.

Fashion has always been one of the most powerful forms of human expression. It’s how we communicate identity, culture, and feeling without words. But somewhere along the way, that meaning got buried under profit margins and trend forecasts. The future I want to see is one where that meaning comes back to the forefront—where a garment can make you feel something, the way a painting or a sculpture does, where the story behind a piece matters as much as the piece itself. Slow fashion isn’t a step backward. It’s a return to what fashion was always meant to be, which is art we can wear."

Tyler Mervine (Critic Award Winner, Sportswear)

"When it comes to what I think the future of fashion should look like, I would like to see more size inclusivity, especially in terms of tailoring and garment fit. As a designer, much of my philosophy centers around tailoring and emphasizing the natural curves and shapes of the body, and I think that can be done for bodies of all shapes and sizes. While I acknowledge that it can sometimes be more time-consuming and costly to better understand and fit curvier figures and shapes, the right fit of a garment is the single most important element in helping the wearer feel confident and empowered—which is one of the most important aspects of design. Adding to that point, I believe there should be a more apparent shift away from overtly sex-forward fashion toward a more sensual and refined approach to clothing. To me, much of the industry tries too hard to appear effortlessly sexy through revealing clothing and shock value, but less clothing rarely equates to sexiness. Properly tailored garments that fit in a way that accentuates and uplifts both the body and the wearer often feel far more powerful and alluring.

I would also like to see a greater emphasis on fabric quality and natural fibers in the industry again. In a world filled with overconsumption and polyester, a strong emphasis on natural materials is especially important from a sustainability perspective. While natural fibers can be more expensive, the other side of that is that the clothes often look better and last much longer than polyester garments meant to be cycled out, season after season. The future of fashion depends on the state of the world and the protection of the consumer—and the only way to achieve that is by balancing business objectives with practices that do not sacrifice the health of the planet and all of its inhabitants."

Naïma Naas (Critic Award Winner, Sportswear)

"When I picture the future of fashion, I hope for a shift away from the repeating cycle of micro-trends that dominate the industry today, and toward a world where individuality and sustainability go hand in hand. Fashion should empower people to reinterpret garments in their own way, wearing each piece in a way that reflects their unique personality rather than conforming to what’s trending. When individuals feel a true connection to their clothing, they’re less likely to discard it as trends change. Designers creating high-quality and timeless garments that last a lifetime, and that people can make their own, will cut down on waste and also create a stronger bond between the wearer and their clothes. Fashion should become a celebration of personal expression rather than a trend."

Those who have been following Bottega Veneta know this isn't the House's first foray into fragrance.The Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum was long considered the IYKYK signature scent, until the release of its 2024 fragrance collection inspired by a day in Italy, with its sculptural bottles, marble pedestals and cult-favorite scents, like Colpo Di Sole and Come With Me. This is, however, the house's most expansive fragrance launch to date (and at a more accessible price point, too).

The bottles are glass interpretation of the the house's signature, iconic weave, tying everything together. Complete with wooden caps and gold caps akin to Venetian buildings, they're classic, traditional, and worthy of a front row spot on your vanity.

All year, we take note of the nail art, colors, and styles that complete celebrity's red carpet moments—the overall looks wouldn't be complete without the work of nail artists. On the 2026 Met Gala red carpet alone, Coca Michelle completed Tyla's nails with feathered tips, Angel My Linh gave Beyoncé crystal-encrusted stiletto tips, and, for Sabrina Carpenter, Zola Ganzorigt painted intricately detailed French tips reminiscent of film strips.

For us non-celebrities, bold nails aren't solely reserved for red carpets or special occasions. And, with the sun out and a strong urge to wear brighter colors, summer might arguably be the most fun season for nails. The weather is warm, our season depression is tamed, and we want our nails to reflect that. On some days, we might bring our nail tech the boldest of inspiration and on others, we might lean towards a more natural look. The thing about summer is that there are endless options.

At the same time, nail appointments can be overwhelming. With a boatload of nail inspiration available, it can be difficult to decide where to start. We chatted with four celebrity nail artists and narrowed down nine summer nail trends that you’re about to see everywhere–and that should all be used as inspiration at your next few nail appointments.

Meet The Experts:

Mo Qin is a New York City-based celebrity manicurist with a salon, Oh My Nails, in Manhattan's East Village. Known for her intricate nail art, her clients include Simone Ashley, Jennifer Lawrence, and Scarlett Johansson.

Coca Michelle is a celebrity nail artist from London, England and currently based in Los Angeles, California. Known for utilizing dramatic extensions and 3D elements, her clients include Cardi B, Tyla, Beyoncé, and Meghan Thee Stallion.

Naomi Yasuda is a celebrity nail artist based in New York City with an Instagram page full of detailed nail art including designs, embellishments, and 3D elements. Her clients include Charli XCX, Katseye, and Madonna.

Stephanie Stone is a Los Angeles-based celebrity nail artist who frequently works on editorial shoots, magazine sets, and with stars for red carpets. Her clients include Margot Robbie, Tessa Thompson, and Ruth Negga.

1. Strawberry Jelly

Let's get this out of the way: pink nails will forever be a trend. But this summer, a rich, jelly pink is trending—extra points if paired with a baby pink French tip for a bit of contrast. All in all, it's bright without being a neon and it's bold without being too attention-grabbing. "It's bright, fruity, and colorful," celebrity nail artist Mo Quin says. "It's a light and playful option for warm weather."

2. Neon Pops

Some of us might feel more comfortable with muted colors, but summertime and neons will always go hand-in-hand. "A great way to experiment this summer without fully committing is adding pops of neon. I like to use a neon color for a French tip," celebrity nail artist Coca Michielle says. "Or I’ll use a nude color as a base and under-paint my nail with neon." Her go-to's for neons right now are OPI Nail Lacquer in Bright Where I Belong!, OPI Nail Lacquer in Your Zestination Awaits, and OPI Nail Lacquer in Ultra Violet Daze."

3. Seasonal Cherry Red

Some people associate red nails with fall and winter—and we fully understand why. We also understand that there are so many shades of red with so many different undertones—and some are very worthy of a moment in the summer sun. "For summer, I'm leaning into a bright orange-red. It’s a classic for the season," celebrity nail artist Naomi Yasuda says. "There are certain shades that just feel distinctly seasonal, and bright red is definitely one of them. I also love using this color for pedicures on toe nails."

4. Milkshake

Even in the summertime, there are days (or weeks or months) where we're not feeling particularly bold—and that's completely okay. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we don't want our nails to be done and helping us maintain a facade of being put together. Enter tinted tone nails: muted, a little bit sheer, but still entirely chic.White become extra summery when paired with an undertone that peeks through—especially if it's pink. According to Mo Qin, the pink undertone creates "a classic summer treat that’s fun, refreshing, and always popular."

Coca Michelle, too, is a fan of the tinted undertone. "I love sheer, milky shades that remind me of glossy lip colors like soft pinks, nudes that have a light opacity," Coca Michelle says. "They create a polished, effortless look that feels fresh and wearable. These are perfect for summer weddings or formal events."

5. Lace Trim

The coquette aesthetic is alive and well (especially in the summer), and nail trends are reflective of that. Team Coveteur is very supportive of elaborate nail art, whether that we bow charms, crystalized embellishments or, in terms of this season, lace details. "I’m drawn to delicate fine lace-inspired art in black or white," Coca Michelle says. "The intricate details are timeless and romantic. It can be subtle and elegant when kept minimal or maximized by adding charms."

6. Water Effects

Once the summer hits 70 degrees on the east coast, we're all daydreaming about lounging near any body of water. In New York City especially, being water adjacent isn't always feasible—so instead, we opt for nail art reminiscent of waves, streaks, or rain drops. "I always love adding texture to my nail art, and clear 3D effects are my go-to technique right now," Naomi Yasuda says. "Using clear sculpting gel gives 'wet' water droplet feeling to the nail, which feels so fresh and liquid-like for the hot summer months."

7. Crystallized Florals

In terms of fashion and in terms of beauty, you can really never go wrong with florals. The tried and true way of elevating your floral nails, though, is with shiny embellishments that glimmer in the sunlight—whether they construct the entire floral or just serve as a tiny enhancement. "Pretty, sparkly, and perfect for summer," Mo Qin says. "They add a fresh and elegant touch."

8. Sunkissed Cat-Eye

The cat-eye nail effect has been popular throughout all seasons. This summer, we're embracing the sun-kissed cat-eye—imagine what the OG cat-eye nail would look like if it had gotten the perfect tan on a beach in Sicily. It's bronzy summer perfection. "Magnetic cat-eye gels are amazing because of how the metallic particles catch and shine under direct sunshine. Right now, I am loving bright, playful shades like pink or iridescent colors," Naomi Yasuda says. "But even if you aren't typically a big nail art person, a nude or sheer cat-eye is a really fun, subtle way for minimalist nail girlies to elevate their look."

9. The Summer Squeeze

This summer, we're craving the juiciest and most citrus-forward of beverages—freshly squeezed lemonade, perfectly balanced margaritas, and Aperol spritzes outdoors. And, nail trends are reflective of that. "Citrus shades just make sense this time of year. They're fresh, playful, and bring a natural tint of color to your look," celebrity nail artist Stephanie Stone says. "Whether you're reaching for lemon and lime, or something a little juicier like mango or dragon fruit, these shades feel tropical without being over-the-top." Extra points if citrus nail art is thrown into th emix.

10. Polka dots

This summer (and every season, for that matter), we're embracing the polka dot trend. Regardless of the color-way or if we opt for a full nail or French trim, polka dots add a very welcome playful energy that we associate with summertime.

11. Script & Cursive

Script and cursive writing on nails are all over our feeds—and we have to admit that we're inspired. For a bit of personalization this summer, consider presenting some fancy text to your nail tech. Whether it's an important phrase, your own name, or a meaningful date, script nails will make a statement.

12. Aura Nails

Does anything beat an 8:30pm summer sunset? Not really, in our opinions. And we want our nails to reflect the depth, color schemes, and radiance worthy of consuming so much space in our camera rolls. "Aura nails are all about creating depth and dimension through blended, sunset-inspired color," Stephanie Stone says. "The effect is radiant, dreamy, and perfect for summer. Think the iconic poster for The Endless Summer, but a bit more muted."

13. Feeling The Blues

This summer, we're feeling the blues—in the most positive sense of the phrase. We've found ourselves drawn to baby blue hues in terms of makeup and now our nail inspiration is following suit. Consider ocean tones and shades reminiscent of a clear sky on a perfectly warm summer day.
