Congratulations, Demi Lovato! The singer tied the knot with Jordan “Jutes” Lutes on May 25 in California and looked absolutely stunning from head to toe. But one element of her wedding-day immediately look stood out as a bit of a surprise: the bridal manicure!

Lovato is known for her edgy style—think lots of leather, tattoos, and sleek silhouettes. Instead of a shiny black manicure, a deep and romantic red, or gray chrome, which is what we would have predicted for Lovato's wedding set, the musician chose a classic soft, barely there polish for the big day.

Lovato worked with longtime manicurist Natalie Minerva on two similar-but-not-identical sets for the wedding weekend. “For Demi's nail look, she wanted something that felt timeless and I absolutely agreed,” Minerva tells Allure of the inspiration.

For the first evening, the two landed on a combination of OPI's Nail Lacquer in Passion, a sheer neutral pink, and For the Fill of It, a pro-only warm pink shade. “It's a builder gel that is tinted so it gave a beautiful finish and extra protection,” Minerva explains. On the wedding day, Lovato chose Pearl-Clutching Behavior, which Minerva describes as the “perfect wedding milky nude” that “offers coverage but still has a little consistency.” Minerva shaped the star's nails into medium-length rounded almonds and painted a few delicate coats of color atop the nails for a sweet, whisper-light set that looked so good with Lovato's Vivienne Westwood gown and sparkling diamond ring. Minerva came prepared for the occasion with an entire lineup of nail options in a similar palette, including OPI's beloved Bubble Bath, and also gave the groom a wedding-day manicure.

Many brides choose nearly naked or milky nails on their wedding day as it's a timeless look that suits a variety of bridal styles. When we polled nail pros for their favorite 2025 wedding manicure trends, they spotlighted soft matte sets, pearl-studded French manis, and all-white nails, perfect for a neutrals-with-a-twist vibe. Nude and blush-pink styles may reign supreme for walking down the aisle, but if you're more of a color person, you could also try an on-theme baby blue (as the “something blue,” of course) or cherry red, similar to Lovato's sheer “cherry Jello nails” from earlier this spring. Either way, you, like Lovato, will be headed for a happily ever after!
