Sienna Miller's off-duty festival manicure proves that this hue is the staple of the summer
Avoiding the temptation for bold and statement summer designs, Sienna Miller's nails are a lesson in chic simplicity...


While some summertime events may call for bold and specific designs, Sienna Miller's nails prove the power and versatility of classic neutrals...
Though the 2024 nail trends have offered a plethora of bright summer nail shades and classic pastels, we've also seen an abundance of understated, milky tones cropping up - the likes of which, go with every setting and occasion. Case in point, Sienna Miller's appearance at Glastonbury where she paired a chic, minimalistic outfit (as is to be expected from the star), with an equally simple and stylish manicure.
So, if you've been looking for a summertime nail look that seemingly suits every event you have booked in the months ahead - as well as elevating any outfit - here's a closer look at Miller's go-to polish shade of the season...
Why cream is the staple nail colour of summer, per Sienna Miller
As mentioned, Sienna Miller enjoyed a weekend of music and sunshine at Glastonbury festival, where she wore white trousers, a checked shirt and black boots - elevated further by a simple cream manicure, applied to what appear to be short, squoval nails.
The effect is understated but fresh and looks very similar (if not the same) to the nail colour Miller also sported at the premiere of Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 days earlier - proving its versatility.
Neutral nails, particulary creams and nudes are true signatures as they're perfect for every day but also offer an air of elegance to your look, which is exactly what you want for, let's say, a wedding or sunny vacation - when you want to your manicure to compliment your outfits, not detract. Sometimes, as Sienna Miller proves, simplicity is key - and speaking of which, this nail look is mercifully straightforward to achieve at home...
How to recreate Sienna Miller's cream nail look
RRP: £32
Known to be Sienna Miller's cuticle oil go-to, Kure Bazaar's formula boasts a blend of ten precious oils (including argan and sweet almond) along with an infusion of Rosa Damascena to hydrate and strengthen your nails. We recommend ending your manicure with a drop of this oil to each nail - and be sure to reapply daily!
RRP: £29
Chanel offer's the perfect creamy hue to recreate Sienna Miller's Glasto manicure. It's soft, subtle and offers a high-shine finish.
RRP: £7.99
For a slightly cooler tone, opt for Essie's "Daily Grind" shade. It's quick drying and ideal for a simple but elegant look.
To recreate Sienna Miller's chic mani, we would recommend opting for a similar squoval or square nail shape and applying two to three coats of your chosen cream - for a streak-free finish.
