Hailey Bieber has officially entered sweater weather—right down to her fingertips.
In a new series of photos recently posted to Instagram, the Rhode founder leaned fully into autumnal dressing, posing alongside husband Justin Bieber in cozy layers and, in another video posted to TikTok, applying her own brand’s lip shape in a soft nude-brown. The finishing touch? A creamy taupe manicure that feels perfectly calibrated to the cooler temperatures.
The shade in question is “Taupe That Talk” by LGND, applied by Bieber’s longtime nail artist Kim Truong. (You’ll also catch Truong painting the nails of recent Vogue cover star Mikey Madison, Kim Kardashian, and Bella Hadid—a cursory glance of her feed and you’ll see a litany of trending shades and delicate nail art.) “It’s the perfect mixture of brown, grey, and nude,” Truong tells Vogue of Hailey’s taupe set. “I would consider it a fall neutral, but a little more elevated than your traditional beige or nude.” It looks particularly elegant on her mid-length, soft almond shape.

For those not quite ready to descend immediately into oxbloods, blacks, and vampy winter tones, taupe offers a softer way in. “It’s such a great transitional fall shade,” Truong says. “You don’t have to jump straight into deeper, darker tones. It’s that perfect in-between: cozy and warm, but still clean and neutral.” An elevated brown shade also tends to go with anything, so you don’t have to worry when you beginning switching over your late summer to early fall wardrobes.
Of course, Bieber has always treated her manicure as a way to mark the season. There have been daisy designs with diamanté details for spring, navy blue to celebrate the arrival of her baby boy, and cinnamon chrome once the temperatures began to dip. Over the past few months alone, she has bounced between Bieberchella-inspired patterns (crafted by another go-to, Zola Ganzorigt) and one of summer’s trending shades of periwinkle.
Taupe, then, feels like the definitive changing-of-the-guard manicure. And Bieber isn’t alone. Truong says her clients are currently moving away from classic nude in favor of richer neutrals and autumnal shades: “Taupes, browns, mauves, and warm grays,” alongside darker reds such as burgundy and deep wine. Her picks include LGND’s “Gothic Plum,” “Espresso Yourself,” and “Falling.”
Consider Hailey Bieber’s latest manicure the official signal: fall has arrived.
