Benny Blanco definitely turned heads on The Jennifer Hudson Show this week — and not just because of his music. The hit producer made a barefoot entrance through the studio’s “spirit tunnel,” handing out roses and proudly displaying his freshly painted gold toenails. His laid-back vibe and bold pedicure instantly sparked chatter online.
Dressed in a relaxed combo of a layered white shirt and tan cargo pants splattered with paint, Benny’s gold-painted toes were hard to miss. They even matched his stack of gold chains, showing that his flair for style includes the smallest details. When he got to the end of the tunnel, he beamed and said, “This is so nice. I love everyone.”
Later, he joined Jennifer Hudson on stage wearing bright green slide sandals — but the golden toes still stole the spotlight. In a lighthearted comment on the show’s TikTok post, Benny joked, “wait where r my shoes?”
This isn’t a new move for Benny, who’s become known for quirky and creative toenail art. He’s previously sported rug-inspired designs, sushi-themed toes, lime nail art, and even a pickle-themed pedicure — a sweet nod to fiancée Selena Gomez’s favorite snack. Each time, the nails are hand-painted by California nail artist Nails by Tay.
Blanco’s playful nail designs have become a fun part of his public persona, with fans dubbing his stylish self-care the “fiancée effect.” It’s clear that his relationship with Gomez — and their creative collaboration — has brought out an expressive, more whimsical side of him.
The TV appearance comes just weeks after the couple dropped their joint album I Said I Love You First, featuring tracks like “Sunset Blvd” and “Call Me When You Break Up.” With his golden toes and golden sense of humor, Benny proved you don’t need shoes to make a big impression.
