The 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards had no shortage of showstopping moments, and we’re not just talking about the performances. As expected, A-list nominees and attendees hit the red carpet in full glam, serving up major fashion and beauty inspiration, and among our favorite looks was Blackpink singer Jennie Kim’s gilded French manicure, which was the definition of opulence.
The 29-year-old performer stunned in front of the cameras in a strapless red Zuhair Murad Fall-Winter 2025 Ready-to-Wear gown embellished with round rhinestone appliques, a moment that’s been making the rounds all over social media. She paired the dress with black Amina Muaddi platform heels and completed the look with the aforementioned manicure, brought to life by celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt.
As seen on Ganzorigt’s Instagram grid, Kim’s long almond-shaped nails featured a natural, glossy base topped with gilded gold tips that gave the illusion of molten metal dripping off her fingertips. The golden design paired perfectly with her coordinating rings and hand chain for a beauty moment that felt both extravagant and playfully modern.

The ultra-glam beauty moment was fitting for the occasion: Kim took home the Global Force Award, making history as the first K-pop solo artist to receive the honor. “Thank you @billboard for honoring me with the global force award,” she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. “I got too nervous on stage and couldnt finish everything i want to say. i want to thank all the amazing women i get to work with. you guys are the true inspiration to this world and to me. thank you for walking this path with me. i love you. and to my fans all around the world. wouldnt be here with you!”
