Zendaya’s look at the Louis Vuitton FW 2026 show at Paris Fashion Week is living rent-free in our minds—from her curly pixie cut to that all-white bubble-hem dress. And yes, we did peep the simple gold band on her finger, stacked among other silver-toned platinum and diamond pieces (Hello, Mrs. Holland?!). But while the ring sparked plenty of speculation, it also drew our attention to her adorable soft-pink manicure.
We love how her nail look blends two of spring’s biggest nail trends into one. Sitting somewhere between naked nails and the milky manicure trend, the look pairs a cloudy, sheer finish with a soft blush hue (like Essie’s iconic Ballet Slippers) to create a gorgeous strawberry milk pink effect.
The strawberry milk color delivers a soft, feminine look while still feeling effortlessly elegant. The delicate pastel shade is perfect for spring—and subtle enough as a neutral to go with literally anything (including a bridal look, apparently!). Honestly, we wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes the next color everyone’s obsessed with. If you want to get ahead of the trend, we rounded up the best polishes to recreate Zendaya’s milky pink nails in just a few swipes.
