Nicole Kidman's short black manicure felt so chic and rebellious for Cannes - now, watch it trend for summer

Nicole Kidman is pictured wearing a red lace dress at the 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards during The 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival at Place de la Castre on May 18, 2025 in Cannes, France/ in a beige and grey sunset-style template.

While the 2025 Cannes Film Festival saw many a nude and sheer manicure walk the red carpet, Nicole Kidman's black nails brought something new, yet simultaneously timeless.

As expected, the glamorous event mirrored the sheer and subtle 2025 nail trends so far. Indeed, many stars opted for simple neutral nail designs to complement their designer gowns, as opposed to a statement clashing hue. Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, broke the mould with a dramatic but no less expensive-looking wash of glossy black.
