On February 7, Gomez stepped out in West Hollywood wearing a Matrix-inspired look complete with a cinched leather jacket with popped-up lapels and tiny oval sunglasses, styling the look with ankle-slit trousers, classic black pumps, and a belted black Prada Bonnie tote. She further leaned into the femme fatale aesthetic with a spicy orange-red lip and a cat-eye sharp enough to kill a man, as her bestie Taylor Swift might say.
It would have been near sacrilegious to wear anything other than a sultry red manicure with this look, which is exactly what Gomez did.
And it seems Gomez stuck with the near-burgundy manicure for her Rare Beauty Galentine’s Day event a few days later. We got a closer look at her midlength square nails thanks to an Instagram post by her go-to nail artist, Tom Bachick, who relied on the Mia Secrets shade Plum Rouge to achieve the “pretty and plumlicious mani” for her girls’ night at LA’s latest hotspot, Max & Helen’s diner.
On February 13, Gomez opted for a black feather-trimmed pair of Sleeper party pajamas, which she paired with a sweet velvet bow and sweet pink makeup look. It was pretty much the sartorial opposite of her previous monochrome black ’fit, though her spiced plum nails added a mature, romantic touch to her girly girl vibes. Thus, Gomez has found a truly versatile manicure to take us through the remaining winter months before her inevitable return to cherry red shades this spring.
