There were plenty of couples at the 2022 Met Gala [1] — including Kim Kardashian [2] and Pete Davidson [3] — but none of them declared their love as blatantly as Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker did. The couple hit the red carpet in not just matching outfits (Kardashian's ensemble was a "deconstructed" version [4] of Barker's) but matching nail art [5] as well.
Two celebrity nail artists were involved in creating the lovebirds' manicures for fashion's biggest night. Kim Truong [6] worked on Kardashian, while Naomi Yasuda [7] worked on Barker.
For Kardashian, Truong filed her nails into an almond shape and painted each finger black using The Gel Bottle Nail Polish in Jet Black [8] ($19), except for her thumb. That finger received a special treatment: a neutral base with the letter "T" painted in an Old English font. For Barker, Yasuda used Faculty World Nail Lacquer [9] ($13) in the shade Fader on a clear base to paint a cross on his left ring finger and a "K" on his thumb in the same font style as hers.
The end result was a manicure that read K and T when the couple held hands, which they did for a large portion of the night. See Kardashian and Barker's nails up close ahead.
