Hailey Bieber has fully embraced sweater weather—down to her nails. In a recent Instagram post, the Rhode founder went all in on fall fashion, posing with her husband Justin Bieber in cozy layers. In another video on TikTok, she applied her brand’s lip product in a soft nude-brown shade. The final touch? A creamy taupe manicure that fits the cooler weather perfectly.
The polish is “Taupe That Talk” by LGND, done by Bieber’s longtime nail artist Kim Truong. Truong also works with recent Vogue cover star Mikey Madison, Kim Kardashian, and Bella Hadid—scroll through her feed and you’ll see plenty of trending shades and delicate nail art. “It’s the perfect mix of brown, grey, and nude,” Truong tells Vogue about Hailey’s taupe set. “I’d call it a fall neutral, but a bit more elevated than your usual beige or nude.” It looks especially elegant on her mid-length, soft almond-shaped nails.
For anyone not ready to dive into oxbloods, blacks, and dark winter shades, taupe is a gentler option. “It’s a great transitional fall shade,” Truong says. “You don’t have to go straight into deeper, darker tones. It’s that perfect middle ground: cozy and warm, but still clean and neutral.” An elevated brown also pairs with everything, so you don’t need to worry when switching from late summer to early fall wardrobes.
Of course, Bieber has always used her manicure to mark the seasons. There have been daisy designs with diamanté details for spring, navy blue to celebrate her baby boy’s arrival, and cinnamon chrome when temperatures dropped. In just the past few months, she’s switched between Bieberchella-inspired patterns (created by another go-to artist, Zola Ganzorigt) and one of summer’s trending periwinkle shades.
Taupe, then, feels like the definitive end-of-season manicure. And Bieber isn’t alone. Truong says her clients are moving away from classic nude toward richer neutrals and fall shades: “Taupes, browns, mauves, and warm grays,” plus darker reds like burgundy and deep wine. Her picks include LGND’s “Gothic Plum,” “Espresso Yourself,” and “Falling.”
Consider Hailey Bieber’s latest manicure the official signal: fall has arrived.
