Olivia Rodrigo is Gen Z’s people’s princess. Even when she’s headlining a European world tour in a glittery outfit, she still feels relatable. For example, Rodrigo loves to wear accesable brands like Reformation, and her songwriting perfectly captures the universal early-20s dating experience. What’s even more relatable, however, is Rodrigo going against the grain of popular nail polish shades this summer and wearing a moody, simple manicure of her liking.
On June 11, Rodrigo posted a dump of photos showing the star hanging out with friends on a boat and exploring the city while on her European tour. Her simple manicure may have been missed by many, but not us. She was wearing simple black polish on her natural nails with no frills, mastering the minimalist mani trend with ease.
Basic manicures can feel boring, sure, but they are the most practical for every day. They're also so easy to wear—for those who don't feel comfortable in long nails or bold nail art, a simple swipe of dark polish can easily add a touch of edge to any outfit.

Aside from her manicure, Rodrigo styled other summer staples that we’re adding to our wishlist. In the first slide, she’s wearing the Ciao Lucia Gabriela Dress, which is the perfect laidback silhouette for warm days (and it matches her manicure). In another photo, she’s wearing a bathing suit from the Frankies Bikinis x Danielle Guizio collection with a pair of sunnies from the celebrity-approved brand Dmy by Dmy.
If we had to spill our guts, it’s looking like simple manicures will be a big trend this summer, even in shades like Rodrigo’s that you wouldn’t quite expect for the warmer season. Next time you head to the salon, try the trend for yourself with a milky manicure, a French manicure, or with an Oliva-approved black.
