Gigi Hadid has arrived at the 2024 Met Gala, and once again, her look is pitch perfect. Wearing an off-the-shoulder structured cream gown with a ruffled, floral-adorned skirt by Thom Browne, Hadid’s look encapsulates the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme.
Her manicure, a 3D floral design, was created by her frequent collaborator, Mei Kawajiri. “The hand sculpted 3D yellow flowers add a playful touch to a classic style,” says Kawajiri. “This mix of playful and classic is just like Gigi. We wanted the nail looks to be a continuation of her Met Gala look designed by Thom Browne.”
To create the look, Kawajiri turned to Nailboo products. She started with a thin layer of the brand’s base coat, and then cured for 45 seconds. “I like to paint a single very thin coat of nude gel to keep the French manicure a bit more fresh and sheer,” says the artist, who used the shade Nail-Flex & Chill. She then used a liner brush to carefully paint a rounded French tip, using the shade Here’s a Tip, and then cured before adding a second coat over the tip. She finished off with a layer of the brand’s No-Wipe Top Coat. “A no-wipe top coat is essential… it is one less step when you are backstage or on-set!”

Hadid smartly kept the rest of her glam more classic, as not to compete with her dramatic gown and mani. A bold red lip and strong blush moment were the focus of her makeup look, while a curled bob with a deep side part bring the look together added a touch of classic glamour. Nailed it, Gigi.
