Anya Taylor-Joy’s Liquid-Bronze Manicure Shines at the BAFTAs

Let’s face it: Anya Taylor-Joy is the master of manicures. From her “rich girl” nails to her “chrome french” twist, she’s become an oracle of nail inspo. And she wasn’t about to let her standards drop at the 2023 BAFTAs on Feb. 19. Taylor-Joy was pictured with a new must-copy style: the liquid-bronze mani. While glazed-doughnut nails are nothing new, it was the distinctive bronze hue that became an eye-catching accessory and match made in heaven for the actor’s outfit.

Taylor-Joy opted for a showstopping Schiaparelli ensemble straight from the spring 2023 couture catwalk (following in Kylie Jenner’s lion-head Paris Fashion Week footsteps) to match her nails. The strapless velvet minidress came with a duvet-like metallic cape that she wore as a hooded blanket on the red carpet. Working with the bronze hue and taking it across her entire look, “The Queen’s Gambit” star adopted the same shimmery brown color palette for her eye makeup. The look was wrapped up with a swoop of bronzer across her cheekbones.

While beauty enthusiasts admired her chrome mani, other fans were totally blown away by her glamorous getup. One tweeted, “one thing about Anya Taylor Joy: she will always serve.” Another wrote, “Anya in Schiaparelli is genuinely changing my life.” Read ahead to zoom all the way in on her 2023 BAFTAs nails, and then read up on what other stars wore on the red carpet this year.
