Can we interest you in a cup of rich, delicious hot chocolate… and maybe a manicure to match? ‘Tis the season to get cozy—just ask Hailey Bieber, who brought the fall vibes to Paris Fashion Week with chocolate brown nails that just so happen to pair perfectly with her new, darker hair color!
Bieber jetted off to Europe for a few events, including the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2027 show; she’s an ambassador for the brand and has posed for various clothing and beauty campaigns. For the show, she slipped into a sleek black suit, but instead of matching her mani to her outfit, she opted for a timeless fall nail color: chocolate brown!
According to manicurist Kim Truong, who frequently works with Bieber, the Rhode founder wanted “a deep, dark rich brown color,” so Truong custom mixed the perfect shade for the star: a combination of Chaun Legend Gel Polish in Knock on Wood, a dark brown, with a hint of the brand’s Bite Me, a warmer, lighter brown. Together, they blend into a true brown—not so dark that it looks almost black, but melty, luscious chocolate. Bieber must be ready for sweater season, as this is her second cozy color in a row; a few weeks ago, she celebrated her anniversary in a soft taupe mani.

Not only does Bieber’s manicure make me want to skip my morning coffee in favor of a mug of hot cocoa, it also takes a cue from her refreshed brunette color, which is now a few shades darker than it was in the summer, courtesy longtime colorist Matt Rez. And Bieber isn’t the only star flirting with the dark (brunette) side; Off Campus star Ella Bright debuted a much darker hair color at the 2026 VMAs, and Dakota Johnson recently deepened her signature brunette. When it comes to fall color trends—whether it’s your hair or your nails—you really can’t go wrong with a classic like this.
