While both the nails and the dress look like latex, the material wasn’t actually used in either. The Austrian designer described is as a “custom made moulded leather dress” on Instagram, which was hand-sculpted to a 3D mold of Klum’s body, according to Page Six. Klum’s leather dress and manicure were both given a high-gloss finish, giving them a flexible and flawless “second-skin” effect.
Looking for your next neutral nail obsession? The ultra-sleek “latex nail” look is low-effort, high-impact, and sure to take off as a 2026 manicure trend. If you’re feeling inspired to create your own, opt for a true nude rather than a white or pink-tinted base, and choose a shade that’s close to your skin tone for a seamless effect.
