Blake Lively’s TIME100 Gala floral nails gave us a spring nail moment worth zooming in on. At the 2025 event in New York City, the A Simple Favor star paired her glam look with a short, delicate mani featuring gold botanicals—proof that florals work way beyond dresses.
She’s all about short nails (she keeps them trimmed, always), but that hasn’t stopped her from serving top-tier nail inspo on every carpet.
For this look, she called in her go-to nail artist, Elle Gerstein—the genius behind her past “cashmere mafia” sets and grandma-chic designs.
Tiny Florals, Big Impact

The designs were all slightly different—one had a delicate leafy sprig sitting right at the cuticle, while another featured a swirling floral accent across the middle finger. The details were subtle but intentional, giving the whole manicure a custom, elevated feel.
The gold nail art tied in perfectly with her jewelry and brought out the warm tones in her raspberry pink gown. It wasn’t just a pretty nail moment—it completed the whole look. From head to toe, everything felt coordinated, styled, and photo-ready.
Lily Bloom Who? Blake’s in Her Flower Era

Back in promo mode, she even wore a white base mani topped with green and purple flower art and gold foil.
Moral of the story? Blake’s flower obsession isn’t just blooming—it’s thriving. And this floral mani is the kind of subtle spring inspo that makes you want to text your nail tech immediately.
