Sofia Richie Grainge Just Cosigned Fall’s Biggest Nail Trend

If Sofia Richie Grainge has one fan it’s me. If she has no fans, I’m no longer on this planet. The queen of quiet luxury is a constant on my mood boards, and for good reason. Hello! Only she can make a pared-back blazer and jeans outfit feel exciting. Stepping out at the LACMA Arts and Films Gala, Richie Grainge showed off her new mom style with one of fall’s trendiest manicures.

We’re in the thick of Gala season, which might as well be considered another kind of Fashion Week—the fashion and beauty moments have been aplenty, with Gucci even sponsoring the LACMA Gala. Richie Grainge arrived in a dark brown one shoulder drapy gown paired with an autumnal nail look that has “old money” vibes.

Of course, Richie Grainge’s simple, sophisticated aesthetic extends to her nails. The style muse took almost the exact color of her dress and matched it to her polish. Her dark chocolate nails were a super rich shade of brown that almost looked black. The no-fuss manicure was painted on what looks like her natural nails that were shaped in a rounded off square silhouette. And, that was it! Aside from a glossy top coat that gave the hue some extra shine, the nail look was incredibly simple.

You might’ve heard by now that brown is the new black when it comes to nails, but if you haven’t yet, let us give you the breakdown: Everyone from Hailey Bieber to Selena Gomez is opting for shades of brown this fall. From toffee browns to rich chocolates, it’s a fail-safe choice this fall that always looks sleek.

The rest of Richie Grainge’s glam followed her less-is-more approach, leaning into the no-makeup makeup trend that we’ve constantly seen on the red carpets this season. Her makeup by Emily Cheng consisted of fluffed up brows, a touch of mascara paired with a light gray-ish brown eyeshadow, and a soft contour on her cheekbones. Her glossy nude lip (Saie Glossybounce Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil in Push, to be exact) was the finishing touch. Her hair was coiffed by Kathleen Riley, styled with her front pieces slicked back, with the back pieces left sleek and straight.

Richie Grainge has spoken: Brown nails are the unofficial quiet luxury manicure of fall.
