Sabrina Carpenter Put a Wintery Twist on the 12 months’s Trendiest Mani

Are you of the mindset that polka dots are just for summer time? That is nonsense. If this yr has confirmed something, it is that polka dots are at all times in—and may look even cuter within the chilly months.

Do not get me fallacious: the sample continues to be nonsense! Nevertheless it’s nonsense within the “A Nonsense Christmas” by Sabrina Carpenter sense. Enjoyable nonsense, as a bunch of tiny dots painted in opposition to the background coloration of your selecting must be.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Polka Dot Manicure

Over the weekend, Carpenter attended the Selection Hitmakers 2025 brunch occasion in Los Angeles the place she was named the hitmaker of the yr. Taking the stage to just accept her award, she confirmed off the cutest black-and-white polka dot manicure.

The artist’s nails had been filed into a brief, rounded form earlier than they had been painted with a milky white base coat. (May it’s her common nail artist Zola Ganzorigt‘s go-to Humorous Bunny by OPI?) Then, they had been stamped with a large number of tiny black dots.

Like the remainder of us, dots have been Carpenter’s go-to nail artwork sample this yr. The distinction is that she’s one of many stars who kicked off the pattern. Again in June, Ganzorigt gave her a white-on-white polka dot manicure for her “Manchild” music video. She’s been loving the look on and off since.

The Remainder of the Look

For her breakfast-slash-lunch date in town, the 26-year-old gave the Ralph Lauren Christmas pattern her personal spin in a pale strapless Ralph Lauren silk patchwork robe from the designer’s Spring ’03 assortment. (Once more, she defies the seasons.)

Her well-known blonde curls had been styled into messy seashore waves as a substitute of a bouncy classic blowout, and her make-up artist Carolina Gonzalez went with a lighter glam look that included vibrant, liner-less eyes, a blurry lip, and loads of blush.

The important thing phrase right here was tender, and although there have been points of her look that screamed spring and summer time, she was undeniably in Brinaclaus mode. How do I do know this?! She gave us a gift! Glam inspo to final us all winter (and spring, summer time, fall) lengthy.
