Rihanna Closed Out 2024 with This Jaw-Dropping Manicure

The days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve have a way of blurring together, what with us cozied up and relaxing, which can make it easy to miss what our favorite celebs are up to. But rest assured, they’re continuing to serve looks during their downtime, and we’re here to make sure these moments don’t go unnoticed.

Over the holiday weekend, Rihanna stepped out in New York and made an appearance at a karaoke event, where she did two quintessentially Rihanna things: performed her hits “Needed Me” and showed off a stunningly intricate manicure.

The manicure in question—a prize for a few lucky fans to ogle up close during her five-minute performance—was a classic clear base with crisp white French tips. To make it holiday-special, her nail artist hand-painted dainty white snowflakes and itsy-bitsy gingerbread men onto the design (but let’s be real, the same effect could easily be achieved with nail stickers!).

Days later, the manicure still looked brand new as she was ringing in 2025, all cozied up in a bathrobe with friends: “New year, new me,” she quipped in an Instagram reel caption. Honestly, though, I hope she doesn’t change a thing—especially when it comes to her beauty routine.
