Kerry Washington [2] is the latest to give glazed-doughnut manicures [3] her stamp of approval. On Jan. 15, the actor attended the Critics' Choice Awards [4] with the gorgeous nail trend in tow.
Created by manicurist Diem Truong [5], the look stayed true to its roots. To start, Washington's nails were filed into a rounded stiletto shape [6]. Like the traditional version of the trend, her nails were painted a soft pink shade as a base, and chrome powder was added [7] to give an almost wet look to the manicure. However, instead of opting for a traditional silver chrome, Washington's nails had a purple tint to them, which made the manicure the perfect accessory for her beaded Giorgio Armani Privé gown.
Glazed-doughnut nails have easily been one of the most popular manicures of the last year; they've famously been Hailey Bieber's go-to look. Since then, everyone from Vanessa Hudgens [8] to Lizzo [9] has been spotted with the look, and trends like glazed-doughnut french tips [10] have been staples on mood boards everywhere.
As award season continues, Washington is sure to give us some more head-turning beauty moments. For now, take a closer look at her nails below.
