Key Takeaways
- Bella Hadid chose to wear soft French manicure for her recent European adventures, pairing the nail look with her new soft honey hair color.
- The classic manicure featured a nude base shade and a closely-matching French tip that almost disappeared on her oval fingernails.
Bella Hadid is having her Euro summer adventures early this year—which is a good thing! We need her to set the tone for our own travels, and the sooner we can get inspiration and start making our pre-flight hair and makeup appointments, the better.
After premiering a new head of honey blonde hair to kick off Cannes Film Festival last week, the 28-year-old headed to London to promote her fragrance line, Ôrebella, as it launched at Selfridges. As she showed off her light locks in a number of styles, one part of her glam remained consistent: her extremely soft-French manicure.

Combining the classic stylings of a French tip with a your-nails-but-better approach to opacity, a soft French typically features a neutral, off-white polish and natural-looking base shade. Glossy as can be, Hadid’s version was set on medium-long, oval-shaped nails. It was also so soft that it was possible to miss the tip. But oui, it’s there.
The model showed off the mani as she made her way around Europe. According to a couple of Instagram posts cataloguing her adventures, her travels were spent on red carpets, holding a tiny shopping bag, and enjoying a little yacht time.
Bella Hadid’s Blonde Hair
I’m not done talking about that blonde, either—especially now that I’ve seen it in an updo. Celebrity hair colorist Jacob Schwartz also took on styling responsibilities during their across-the-pond adventures, choosing to work Hadid’s hair into a middle-parted, slicked-back bun that she accessorized with some pretty white flowers at Selfridges.

For another look, she wore a loose, low bun, letting some strands fall out and frame her famous face.
“Going from a brunette to a blonde is major,” the Olaplex ambassador explained while discussing the transformation in a press release. “Bella is a natural blonde, so sourcing photos of her as a child was a great reference. Using those images and her skin tone led us to this epic, luxurious honey hue.”

Pair that with an epic, luxurious working vacation and equally stunning manicure, and you have it all figured out.
