All eyes were on, well, everything at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 15. The biggest names in television brought their fashion and beauty A-game to the red carpet, and among them was Saoirse Ronan, who dazzled in natural glam with a mid-length bob and a deep side part, wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown paired with Bulgari jewels. But one detail that deserves just as much praise—though a bit more understated—is her “deep Oxblood red” manicure, brought to life by celebrity manicurist Queenie Nguyen.
"Loved spending time catching up with Saoirse Ronan today while getting her ready for the Emmys," Nguyen shared on her Instagram Story. She also revealed that the exact shade she used was Halo Taco's Devil's Advocate ($13), described by the brand as a "blackened oxblood red" with a unique "semi-translucent, buildable 'crelly' formula"—meaning its "opacity lands in between a crème and a jelly."

Nguyen told NewBeauty that Ronan’s “deep Oxblood red” manicure is trending for fall-winter, even calling it "the new neutral." And she’s not the only expert to notice this nail polish shade's making waves. Rita Pinto, nail expert and founder of Vanity Projects, recently shared with NewBeauty that oxblood nails are the fall equivalent of summer's beloved cherry mocha nails — a rich, sophisticated twist that's perfect for cooler months.
