Rihanna knows white nail polish isn't a trend—it's the definitive summer nail polish color. From sheer, milky white to creamy ivory and chalky opaque white, shades in this family are timeless favorites for a reason. White adds just enough contrast to make you look tan even if you didn't spend your summer vacationing in The Hamptons or Saint Tropez. And no matter where you're going—the office, the bar, or the beach—white nail polish will keep you looking pulled-together, while offering a blank canvas against which the rest of your outfit can shine.
Perhaps that's why Rihanna painted her toes a brilliant shade of bright white to celebrate the launch of Fenty Hair at Selfridges in London, England. After arriving at the Sept. 16 event wrapped in a plush teddy coat, the pop star changed into her second look of the evening: a ruffled nude chiffon slip dress and strappy metallic sandals that showcased her fresh pedicure.
