Glenn Close Is Hiding a Yellow Manicure Under Her Gloves at the 2021 Oscars

Iconic actor and Oscar nominee Glenn Close just walked the 2021 red carpet, and it seems she has something up her sleeve — or rather, something in her gloves. Ahead of the show, Close posted a photo of herself getting ready for the award show in which we got a sneak peek of a gorgeous yellow manicure. In the photo, she's wearing a cozy set of pajamas and holding what looks like a glass of champagne to show off the nails.

We were hoping to get a closer look at the manicure in some snapshots from the red carpet, or perhaps during an interview, but Close has topped off her look with some evening gloves. However, we can't complain too much; the gloves really do complete the look, which, according to an email press release from the Armani team, is a custom Giorgio Armani Privé long-sleeved tunic in a gorgeous vibrant blue color, entirely encrusted in crystals set in a geometric pattern with contrasting silver and black beading. The outfit is completed with midnight blue cigarette trousers made of silk and, of course, the evening gloves.

According to E!, Close had two inspirations for wearing the gloves — not only did she feel they were more sanitary, given that we're still in a pandemic, but she also felt they were a reminder of Armani's mother. Can't argue with that. We'll just have to make a guess about the shade and hope she posts more photos later on in the evening.
