Kendall Jenner’s Nail Clip Is A Sophisticated Accessory Everyone Needs

There are girls who are on the go, and then there is Kendall Jenner—seeing a photo of her taken in Calabasas rather than on a work trip is almost a cryptid-level rarity. But Jenner’s breakneck schedule is a benefit to everyone else because she always rocks the best outfits, hairstyles and accessories, perfect for even the busiest time of year. Her latest move is so simple yet satisfying: it’s a low-key way to style your hair while you’re on the move without sacrificing your signature sophistication. Jenner’s tortoiseshell claw clip is likely already in your collection, but her wearing style is worth learning.

Jenner was first spotted sporting a brown and black clip in her hair as she headed to Madison Square Garden, taking a quick break from work to attend Luis Miguel’s concert with hunky Bad Bunny. Brunette Jenner’s ombre hair was pulled back into a faux-French twist and secured with a dainty speckled accessory right at the base of her head. Notably, she left the tip pointing down and somewhat loose, allowing some flow, while the rest of her lustrous hair was held firmly in place by a curved clip.

Another key component to focus on is the clip art. This timeless tortoiseshell design is loved for its subtle brown and black color combination, making it the perfect neutral accessory for any hair color. Jenner, in particular, is very drawn to this. She has several pairs of sunglasses in this style, and she even showed off a tortoiseshell French manicure—a move that BFF Hailey Bieber actually co-signed earlier this month.

But what may be more impressive than anything else is how much hair Jenner was able to fit into such a tiny clip. Of course, claw hair accessories come in different sizes, but Jenner looks smaller. She may have watched the same TikTok tutorials as everyone else and she actually managed to make it work—a truly impressive feat.

The tortoiseshell trend is only likely to intensify as fall approaches, and one of the easiest ways to bring it to life is with your hair. As Jenner beautifully demonstrates, it’s a quick dose of quiet ’90s luxury, made for just about any occasion.
