Awards season always delivers unforgettable fashion moments, and the 2026 Oscars were no exception. While stunning gowns and statement silhouettes dominated the red carpet, one detail added the perfect finishing touch to Ji-Young Yoo’s look.
Celebrity nail artist Sarah Chue (@chuenails) chose Madam Glam to create a soft blue manicure that brought balance and elegance to the ensemble. For the occasion, she used Madam Glam’s shade Morning Sky, a muted blue that beautifully complemented Yoo’s dress and elevated the entire look. She finished the manicure with Madam Glam’s No Wipe Top Coat, adding a high gloss shine that looked flawless under the red carpet lights.

The Inspiration Behind the Manicure
Ji-young Yoo arrived on the Oscars red carpet in a striking gown featuring a structured bodice and a dramatic skirt. To complement the look, Sarah Chue selected a shade that would visually connect the elements of the outfit without competing with them.
Morning Sky was the perfect choice. The soft blue tone mirrored the color of the bodice while creating a calm, refined contrast to the volume and movement of the skirt. The result was a manicure that felt cohesive, elegant, and completely red carpet ready.
The final layer of Madam Glam’s No Wipe Top Coat sealed the manicure with an ultra glossy shine, ensuring the color looked luminous and camera ready throughout the evening.

The precise application of Morning Sky, finished with a layer of No Wipe Top Coat, created a smooth and glossy finish that felt polished and fashion forward while remaining perfectly balanced with the dramatic gown.
