Heidi Klum’s Vanilla Chai Nails Are So Cozy for Fall

Heidi Klum may be known and beloved for her over-the-top Halloween costumes, but she seems to be saving her maximalism for late October festivities. Until then, the supermodel appears to be taking a less-is-more approach to beauty and glam.

More specifically, Klum has been embracing quiet-luxury-inspired aesthetics for the season, leaning hard into neutral shades like vanilla and chai for both her hair and nails.

After debuting a chic new shade of vanilla chai blonde hair, Klum and her nail artist Tom Bachik—whose clients include other A-list nail influencers such as Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez—took to Instagram to show off her minimalist manicure style.

The mani in question is subtle yet chic. Filed into a long almond shape and painted the perfect blend of vanilla and chai polish, Klum’s nails are reminiscent of Selena Gomez’s “summer blush” mani and Jennifer Lopez’s American mani, but with a classically understated autumnal twist.

“HEIDI,” Bachik captioned the post, followed by three fire-sign emojis—and you can say that again. Klum shared the same photo of her nails to her own Instagram grid. She also posted a still selfie showing off her nails—and gorgeous ring and statement necklace by jewelry designer Messika Paris—and a glamorous selfie video. (If you were Heidi Klum wouldn’t you do the same?)

Klum and her nails were photographed later that evening, as well, attending the Messika Paris womenswear spring-summer 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, alongside her husband, Tom Kaulitz. And that was after Klum walked the runway for the Le Défilé L’Oréal Paris–Walk Your Worth womenswear spring-summer 2025 show. How she has the energy for all this slaying, we’ll never know.
