Angelina Jolie’s Black Cherry Pedicure Is So Elegant

Okay, I realize it’s not exactly common to show off your toe polish right now, but I’m of the belief that pedicure season is year-round. I’d even go so far as to say that the chicest people keep their pedis immaculate during winter—after all, there’s always the chance of sporting an open-toed pump at your next holiday party.

Just take it from Angelina Jolie, who arguably ranks number one in the “chicest people” category. At the Gotham Awards in NYC (where she won the Performer Tribute Award), the actor, filmmaker, humanitarian, and overall icon paired her breezy black maxi dress with strappy platform sandals from Aquazzura—and, on her toes, a very on-trend nail polish. Scroll below for all the details.

Jolie’s pedi might look jet-black upon first glance, but take a closer look, and you’ll see that the polish actually has notes of brown and plum—a hue otherwise known as “black cherry.” We’ve been spotting black cherry nails on the celeb set since the summer, but of course the deep, elegant shade is practically made for moody winter moments. Google Trends has even reported a 100% increase in searches for “black cherry nails” over the past month, proving this vampy purple hue is definitely here to stay.
