Sheer, powdery pink nails are the new nude this summer, according to Reese Witherspoon, who just revisited one of her most iconic roles and informed our next manicure in the process.
Stepping out for Prime Video's celebration of the new series Elle, which is a prequel spin-off to the film Legally Blonde, Reese Witherspoon dressed in all-pink (a signature of Elle Woods). And while the outfit brought all the 2000s nostalgia, her manicure actually felt very in line with 2026's nail trends. Pastel pink and sheer nail polishes, as well as very minimalistic, hyper-natural manicures, have been increasingly popular this year, and Witherspoon's own nails sit somewhere in between. They are simultaneously timeless and trendy, though we'd expect nothing less for an Elle Woods-inspired look.
