Laverne Cox is a vision in blue at the 2023 Oscars. The actor arrived on the red carpet at the 95th annual Academy Awards in Hollywood wearing a draped black, brown, and turquoise Vera Wang gown and a unique french manicure to match. Pulling in tones from her dress, Cox’s almond-shaped nails featured a neutral base with an aqua-blue smile line along the edge. However, instead of the line being curved as you traditionally see in french manicures, the intersecting streaks of color came to a sharp point.

Cox paired her trendy manicure with a slicked-back braided-bun hairstyle and soft makeup. She added a pop of color to her eyes by incorporating gold eyeliner into her lower lash line. Celebrity hairstylist Kiyah Wright was responsible for the bun with something extra, while celebrity makeup artist Deja Smith did her makeup – it’s unclear who did the star’s nails.

Cox has pulled out showstopping looks at every turn this award season. Below, take a closer look at her blue french manicure at the Oscars.
