Her extra long false nails appeared to be metallic and she also paired her laid-back look with a handful of rings.

Ariana Grande, who is leading the pack this year with nine nominations, put on a leggy display in a black leather dress, which featured a silver zipper at the front.
She teamed the sexy ensemble with a pair of sky-high white heels and opted to style her ombré blonde tresses in perfectly sleek pigtails with flipped ends.
'Happy VMA day ::) so excited for u see our first rain on me performance tonight!' the 27-year Grammy winner captioned a series of shots of herself on Instagram.
She also gushed she felt 'honored' to share the stage with her Rain On Me collaborator, Lady Gaga, who she described as 'f*cking incredible.'
The 7 Rings hitmaker also praised MTV for 'being so diligent in making this such a safe & healthy experience for all of the performers and crew involved.'
She and Gaga will perform their hit duet Rain On Me at the event, which was originally scheduled to be held with a limited audience in Brooklyn's Barclay's Center but will now place at various outdoor locations across New York City instead.

The VMA's, or Video Music Awards, is honoring Gaga's team-up with Grande with the seven nods, including Song of the Year and top prize Video Of The Year.
In addition to Video and Song of the Year, the pop snippet is also nominated for best collaboration, best pop, best cinematography, best visual effects, and best choreography.
In addition to the recognition for Rain On Me, off of Gaga's latest album Chromatica, Grande is also being nominated for two more VMAs for her sweet quarantine-themed collab with Justin Bieber, Stuck With U.
Those nominations are another in the best collaboration category, and a new category for the age of the coronavirus pandemic – best music video from home.
Grande’s upcoming VMA performance, her fifth, will be the first since 2018, when she wowed with her hit show-stopping rendition of God Is a Woman.
She and Gaga join fellow performing artists The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus, Roddy Ricch, BTS, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Maluma and CNCO for what is sure to be a different experience, as the awards event will of course not be held in front of a live and enthusiastic audience.
Earlier this month, it was announced that the VMAs would not take place at Barclays as initially planned, instead taking the festivities outdoors as a precaution against the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The decision was reached mutually between both MTV and representatives from the large Barclays venue, who said in a statement:
'The 2020 VMAs will be held on Sunday, Aug. 30 and pay homage to the incredible resiliency of New York with several outdoor performances around the with limited or no audience, adhering to all state and city guidelines.
'In close consultation with state and local health officials, it became clear at this time that outdoor performances with limited or no audience would be more feasible and safer than an indoor event,' the statement continued.
'The VMAs will highlight the boroughs in an exciting show and return to Barclays Center in 2021. MTV will continue to work closely with the Department of Health, state and local officials, the medical community, and key stakeholders to ensure the safety of all involved,' the missive concluded.
