One of my favorite shows this year—hands down—was Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. I binged all nine episodes in one weekend and proceeded to dive deep into the depths of Reddit for further fact-checking and fan theories. Unsurprisingly, Chloë Sevigny, who played the mom, Kitty Menendez, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series—and I couldn't wait to see her walk the 2025 Emmys red carpet.
The actress naturally didn't disappoint. She came to the red carpet with a matching matte red lipstick, a few wispy lashes, an updo reminiscent of Princess Lea, and a casual 30 carats of Tiffany & Co. diamonds. But my personal favorite aspect of her Emmys look occurred on her fingers.
Instead of opting for a very fall manicure like a burgundy to match her lipstick, a vampy tone, or even a gray shade (which has been all over NYFW, FYI), the actress went with concealer nails—ie, a barely-there nude-colored polish that's a near-identical skin tone match. In my humble opinion, this is one of the chicest, most expensive-looking manicures on the red carpet.
The good news: DIY-ing the look couldn't be easier. There's no nail art. No need for tools. And, plenty of press-on options or extra-shiny polishes to pick from. The key is to opt for a shade as close to your skin tone as possible—down to the undertone. Then, swipe a glossy top coat on top and you're good to go. Need some help?
