The idea for Blake Lively [2]'s latest manicure came from a very unlikely place. On Nov. 17, the actor attended the American Cinematheque Awards with nails inspired by her Ralph Lauren dress . . . or her wallpaper [3].

The look, which was created by her go-to manicurist Elle Gerstein [4], featured floral nail art in warm hues that feel particularly well-timed given that the holidays [5] are fast approaching. Starting with a soft oval shape [6], Gerstein used a yellow base color to set the stage for the rest of the manicure. She then created the flowers with various shades of reds, greens, and pinks for a look that felt straight out of the '70s.

"#nailinspođź’… [7] for @blakelively [8] was this gorg @ralphlauren [9] dress or was it a coincidence that it matched her @houseofhackney [10] wallpaper," wrote Gerstein in an Instagram caption [11] showing off her work. "I'm grateful for Blake's visions and taste for mixing colors until they are JUST RIGHT. Her love of texture is truly divine!"

"Wallpaper" nails were a breakout trend from New York Fashion Week [12] this year but have only recently begun to pick up steam in Hollywood. The trend typically takes inspiration from retro wallpaper prints for a manicure that's both nostalgic yet still fresh. Take a closer look at Lively's wallpaper nails ahead.
