Gigi Hadid literally stopped traffic during a photoshoot for Maybelline on Wednesday, Nov. 13. The model appeared to be working on a new campaign for the brand's SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick, donning a trio of punchy outfits accessorized with a different shade of the saturated transfer-proof formula. The vibe of the shoot was clearly New York City hustle and bustle, complete with yellow taxis, soft pretzels, stop signs, and apples used as props. But the detail I can't stop obsessing over is Hadid's mega-glossy, multi-dimensional cherry red manicure, painted to perfectly match her lacquered fuchsia lips.
Her nail art is even more impressive when examined up close. Zoom in and you might notice that atop her crimson almond-shaped tips—most likely the work of an Aprés Gel-X system—the letters of her name have been spelled out with tonal, 3D shapes. Whoever created this show-stopping design deserves an immediate raise for the way it cleverly taps into both 2024 nail trends and winter 2025 color trends. The result is one seasonal manicure to rule them all.
