Timeless and elegant, Katherine Jenkins just embraced Wimbledon's 'tennis whites' dress code on her toes, and it's the perfect choice for summertime (and beyond).
Rightly regarded as a timeless pedicure colour, white, like that of a milky pink, nude or sheer nail polish, just goes with everything. Be it black strappy sandals, open-toed heels or casual flip-flops, a crisp white pedicure will complement your footwear and outfit effortlessly, as well as afford an air of put-together-ness. Katherine Jenkins proved as much whilst attending day two of the 2026 Wimbledon Tennis Championships on June 30th, by pairing a white dress and raffia-style wedges with a wash of soft white nail polish on her toes.
Not only is sheer or creamy white very much a classic summer pedicure trend, but it also links to the tournament's traditional dress code of wearing white on the court. So, if you're a tennis fan or just want an infallibly chic pedi shade to wear all season long, take a page from the singer's stylish book.

As far as nail colours go, OPI's Funny Bunny is about as iconic as it gets. It's buildable and glossy, ideal for wearing on its own or under chrome sheens and pearlescent top coats.

For a fresh and glossy look, this gel-like essie nail polish is another great option for your next summer pedicure. Just two to three coats, followed by a shiny top coat, will indeed leave your toes looking perfectly polished.

The key to any at-home manicure or pedicure is a good quality top coat, which will help to ward off scratches and chips, as well as deliver a luxe-looking shine.
So far, the tournament has served up quite a bit of beauty inspiration, especially regarding our manicures and pedicures. But while bright and juicy Pimms-fruit nails seem to be the go-to on everyone's hands, neutrals are winning on toes. Understandably so, because as mentioned, these more subtle shades tend to go with everything and feel less high-maintenance than a statement hue.
In Katherine Jenkins' case, her milky-white pedicure subtly elevates her white dress and espadrille wedges, but would also do the same with any other item of clothing or colour combination. From blue jeans and black flip-flops to a floral dress and Birkenstocks. It's very much a reliable summer styling staple, much like your favourite pair of sunglasses.
So if you're jetting off on a beachy vacation and so on this summer, and want a pedicure (and even a manicure) that will look chic and go with your entire suitcase of clothes, it's definitely one to consider.
Plus, it's so easy to achieve at home if you're in a rush or can't get a professional pedicure appointment. Just two to three coats of your chosen white polish, followed by a glossy top coat, will leave your toes looking fresh and totally holiday-ready. We also recommend investing in one of the best foot creams to keep your feet soft and free of dry skin.
