Move over, millennial mint. See ya next year, butter yellow. There’s a new pastel color trend in town, and we’ve seen it on two celebs this week alone: lovely lilac! Yes, this supremely springy shade is making its way into summer thanks to Emily Blunt, who went monochromatic with a lavender manicure and eye shadow combo that solidified the color as a few fave for June and beyond.<\/p>\n
Blunt fully embraced lilac tones at the UK premiere of her movie Disclosure Day,<\/em> walking the red carpet in a strapless purple gown with matching nails and lids. Her nails were a medium length in a slightly rounded square shape, painted with a few coats of a creamy light purple reminiscent of one of my favorite Crayola crayons of all time, Purple Mountain’s Majesty. (Remember that one? What a hit.) The color was an exact match for her intricate lace Stella McCartney dress, and if you’re feeling it, Essie’s In Pursuit of Craftiness, a soft violet, would satisfy your purple cravings.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n But the purple vibes didn’t stop there! Blunt, who works with makeup artist Jenn Streicher, also wore the shade on her eyes, with a soft wash of shadow across the entire lid. The eye shadow of choice was just a tiny bit darker than her mani and dress, more of a true purple than lavender or lilac. This is monochromatic glam done right\u2014just matchy-matchy enough, with lots of little subtle details that make it feel chic, not cheesy.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n![\"Emily](\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a22c8cfd03715dbd1be64b6\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/emily%2520blunt%2520lilac%2520nails.jpg\"\/)
