Floor-grazing gowns and bold ensembles, paired with vivid scarlet pouts and sleek tresses, may have turned heads at the Star Awards 2025. But as they say, the devil is in the details—and this year, some of the most eye-catching beauty moments came courtesy of the stars’ manicures. Ahead, the best nail looks from local television’s biggest night.

Ye Jia Yun

1/9

To complete her daring Rick Owens number, the actress-turned-model sported black lacquered nails, immaculately filed into a claw-like silhouette. One word: fierce.

Rebecca Lim

2/9

A classic glazed black manicure was the perfect match for the C.L.I.F. 5 star’s body-hugging Jean Paul Gaultier gown with mesh panelling.

Regine Lim

3/9

The 25-year-old looked regal in her Sebastian Gunawan Signature number. Staying on theme, her manicure, done by Rebecca (@theflutterytips) featured an airbrushed ombré beige base, each clear almond tip adorned with a single pearl.

Tasha Low

4/9

Known for experimenting with her manicures, she didn’t hold back at this year’s Star Awards. Her embellished set featured gradient tips and 3D details, echoing the same jade green colour scheme as her Chanel ensemble.

Hazelle Teo 

5/9

Love looks good on the newly engaged radio jock, who opted for a reflective, almond-shaped cat-eye manicure. Done by Princess Cottage, her nails offered the perfect contrast to her glitzy, fringed gown.

Carrie Wong

6/9

Proving that cat-eye nails are the trend of the moment, Carrie kept things interesting by mixing a pinkish hue with a bolder red.

Joanne Peh

7/9

Joanne’s pulled-back hairstyle and sparkly midnight blue gown called for an elegant, timeless mani, so she went with a minimalist (yet chic) French manicure. 

Hong Ling

8/9

The Spirit Hunter star opted for a milky, clean-girl manicure to keep the focus on her fuchsia Versace dress and those Star Awards trophies. You go, girl!

Paige Chua 

9/9

Paige mirrored her high-shine coral pout and sequinned Dolce & Gabbana ensemble with a clean, glazed chrome manicure by Pinc Nails.
