Hailey Bieber has officially spoken through her nails – and it’s clear: Fall 2025 belongs to brown cat-eye manicures.
She debuted the trend at the Academy Museum Gala on October 18, and if you’ve been saving Instagram nail reels since September, props to you – you were ahead of the game. We spotted it back in late August and included it in our September and October mani roundups, so yeah, we deserve a raise. But Hailey just hit the gas pedal on this look, and now brown cat-eye manis are officially everywhere.
Her manicurist, Zola Ganzorigt, created the stunning look using OPI’s Brown to Earth topped with a cat-eye effect, making it look rich and dimensional to perfectly match Hailey’s chocolate Schiaparelli gown. Under the red carpet lights, the nails shifted between espresso, bronze, and gold – elevated, chic, and flawless in every photo.
The timing couldn’t be better, either. Brown is everywhere right now in fashion and beauty, and the cat-eye effect keeps it from looking too basic. It’s classy enough for a fancy event but also practical enough to wear out for a casual coffee run without feeling over the top.
Here’s the best part: it’s totally doable. You can grab magnetic polish and a magnet to try it yourself, or if you’re not into DIY, get to a salon before every spot fills up.
Trust us, by Thanksgiving, this will be everywhere. When Hailey wears something, it’s only a matter of time before it’s takes over – your call whether you want to be early or late to it.
