Selena Gomez recently sent her fans into a tizzy with her daring fashion choices as she tapped into the viral Barbiecore trend by donning a blonde wig. However, she didn’t stop there. The actor and superstar took to Instagram to showcase her latest goth-inspired look, featuring black nails, artfully distressed hair, and heavily kohl-rimmed eyes. This marked a significant departure from her usual polished ponytails, pristine lip gloss, and signature feline flick. The candid carousel of “randemz” pics that followed further captivated her followers.
But Selena isn’t the only A-lister exploring the darker side of fashion. Actresses Lily Collins and Lucy Boynton have also embraced goth-inspired aesthetics on the red carpet. Lily wowed with her vampy rouge noir lip, burnt orange eye makeup, and intricate braided up-do. Meanwhile, Lucy rocked a charcoal and grey smokey eye look adorned with a glistening teardrop jewel.
For those looking to try this moody, gothic trend, starting with a macabre manicure could be the perfect step. Olivia Rodrigo’s angsty album cover for “Guts” showcased her bitten black nails, adding to the allure of the style. The key to achieving this look lies in the color – a deep midnight black. Fortunately, there are several great options available, such as Gucci’s Crystal Black, Nailberry’s Black Berry, and Essie’s Licorice, to name a few. Pair the edgy nails with lashings of kohl and plenty of attitude, and you’ll be ready to rock this gothic-inspired aesthetic.
