The wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce was not only one of the most talked-about events of the season but also the source of a new beauty trend. Despite a strict ban on phone use during the ceremony, the guests’ looks managed to attract the attention of the fashion community. And if the details of the celebration remained behind closed doors, one trend became obvious: this summer, the main manicure will be old money.
Subtle nude shades, natural shine, and impeccably manicured nails were chosen by Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Zoe Kravitz, and other guests, firmly establishing this aesthetic as the most elegant nail trend of the season.

Old Money Manicure for Summer 2026
Numerous variations of the old money manicure, also known as the quiet luxury manicure or soap nails, became the evening’s main beauty trend. Selena Gomez was one of the first to draw attention. For the singer, nail artist Tom Bachik (one of the most authoritative experts in the industry and a trendsetter) combined products from his own brand with Chanel polishes to create what he calls the “perfect quiet luxury manicure.” On long square nails, this translated into a glossy nude coating with a mirror-like shine—very similar to the manicure Selena wore during her engagement to her current husband, Benji Madden.
For Jennifer Lopez, Tom Bachik offered a slightly more expressive interpretation. He complemented the same nude shade with a “cat-eye” effect, which adds depth to the coating and makes the minimalist design more refined.
On the other end of this trend were Cindy Crawford and Zoe Kravitz, who opted for the most understated version. Both chose a nearly imperceptible manicure: short, flawlessly groomed nails with a barely visible coating, embodying the natural elegance of the no-manicure manicure aesthetic. As for Taylor Swift herself, the intrigue remains. It is not yet known exactly what manicure complemented her wedding dress.
