Danielle Brooks, nominee for Best Supporting Actress, dresses for the Oscars 2024 red carpet with shoulder length hair and a crystal manicure emblazoned with the symbolic number '26'.
Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks glittered her way down the red carpet on Sunday evening. She wore platinum and diamond jewelry — all of which matched the boning on the corset of her gown — but what really caught our eye was her manicure, which features dozens of crystals that form French tips, and one statement nail studded with the number 26.
The number is a reminder that the Oscars still have lots of work to do — and that Brooks stands on the shoulders of incredible nominees before her, including Oprah, who got a nod for the same role in 1986. Nail artist Temeka Jackson is the auteur behind the look. Jackson has put charms, pearls, and diamonds on sets in the past, but tonight's manicure on Brooks is a chance to bring a bit of symbolism and historical context to the red carpet.
