Juliette Binoche's patent black nails are a lesson in French style - and not following every spring trend

Juliette Binoche is pictured wearing a black dress at the "The Return" red carpet during the 19th Rome Film Festival at Auditorium Parco Della Musica on October 19, 2024 in Rome, Italy/ in a pink watercolour paint-style template.

At this point, we've seen and worn every iteration of a pastel manicure for spring. If, like us, you're feeling a tad uninspired by this season's milky array, Juliette Binoche's black nails might just offer the chic, French flair that's been missing.

After all, there are only so many spring nail colours you can rotate before boredom inevitably sets in, much as we love lavender and milky pink (both of which are 2025 nail trends). We've been on the hunt for a contrasting manicure, and thanks to French actress, Juliette Binoche, it seems glossy black nails are the answer. Timeless and effortlessly chic, there's a reason why black, like red, is a classic nail colour and, contrary to belief, it's very easy to wear - especially paired with stylish, short nails.
