Megan Fox
Fox wore a 14-karat solid white gold and diamond nail set that features crosses made of 150 delicate white diamonds—because of course she did. The set was designed by Jillian Sassone, founder and creative director of Marrow Fine Jewelry, and Brittney Boyce, celebrity nail artist and founder of Nails of LA.

Laverne Cox
Cox wore an embellished gold manicure to match her jewelry. Nail artist Eri Ishizu broke down the look: Using natural stiletto medium length, apply two coats of Apres Artiste Metallic Gold, then place gold Swarovski crystal on top. Finish with topcoat.
Jennifer Lopez
Don’t be fooled by the rocks J.Lo’s nails got. Her mani is a chic and elevated take on the lip gloss nails trend. “We wanted nails that played off her Gucci gown in a fresh minimalistic way,” celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik said on Instagram. To get the look, Bachik used Tweezerman’s Ultimate Nail Care Set, Apres Nails Lila Tips with a thin coat of Vintage Carnation, and a row of tiny diamonds draped down the center.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is certainly in her Midnights era. The singer, who won best music video for All Too Well: The Short Film, wore a midnight blue manicure that matched her midnight blue eye shadow and Roberto Cavalli skirt and top.
