Remember when we belted everything back in the 2010s? Now, Megan Thee Stallion is taking that concept one step further and making nail belts a thing — and it’s much less weird than it sounds, promise. Of course, the simple, humble belt deserves its place in the fashion accessory hall of fame. Sure, it does a great job at its primary function, holding your trousers in place, but it’s also a genius styling tool that can transform your entire outfit in a cinch.
The rapper is currently enjoying time in South Korea and sharing tons of photos of her adventures, not to mention her ever-changing outfits and hairstyles. In the most recent photo dump, Megan’s nails are a bright cobalt blue shade in her preferred long square shape, but if you look closer (and swipe through a few photos), there’s more going on than meets the eye. Several fingers are a solid blue, but two fingers on each hand have a special detail: a red 3D “belt” which winds its way across the entire nail, dotted with gold dots and complete with a miniature, but extremely lifelike buckle. From far away, it looks like simple nail art, but it’s totally eye-catching when you zoom in, taking an everyday item and elevating it. Why wouldn’t your nails need a belt?

Megan paired her manicure with hip-length, super sleek hair and a brow-length fringe, a hairstyle that was the perfect foundation for her enormous plaid Jean Paul Gaultier hat. Another adorable blink-and-you’ll-miss-it detail of her look? Her lashes. The rapper applied a handful of clumped singles to her lower lash line for an extra-fluttery, mod moment.
Celebs have been giving us tons of nail art inspo lately. The other famous Megan, Megan Fox, announced her pregnancy with a studded French manicure, and Beyoncé went for a subtle look with a teeny “Mom” decal on her opal nails. Megan’s manis are always on point, but we’re still thinking about her glass nails, not to mention the colour-blocked, modern-art-inspired set or the stripey French tips, also from her Seoul trip. The Megan Thee Stallion Nail Art Hall of Fame just keeps growing and growing.
