Victoria’s Secret Unveils Cashmere‑Style Manicures for All
Since its inception, the Victoria’s Secret fashion show has been a showcase for unforgettable beauty moments, and this year’s lingerie extravaganza continued the tradition. Renowned makeup artist Dame Pat McGrath crafted the signature baby‑winged eyeliner and soft pink cheeks, while hair stylist Guido Palau delivered the dramatic blowouts. The most talked‑about detail, however, was the silky “cashmere” manicure highlighted by nail artist Holly Falcone.
Described as a cousin to glossy “soap” nails, cashmere nails combine the high shine of a bubble bath with the semi‑opaque depth of a plush woven blanket. The look is softened further by a medium length and a rounded shape, creating a cozy, snuggly aesthetic that pairs perfectly with the show’s signature baby‑pink hue.
Although the runway has moved away from some early‑2000s staples, the classic, understated manicure remains a constant. This season, each model received a slightly personalized version, with variations in nail shape and length—Ashley Graham, for example, wore a subtly almond‑shaped style. When the show returned after a ten‑year break, director Margot Bowman explained that the aim was to “create a new vision in which more people can see themselves represented,” a goal that clearly extends to the accessible nail trend.
