On what feels like the first official day of summer on the East Coast, fashion s favorite girls are taking in the welcomed warm temperatures, one sunny step at a time. Coming in hot is actress Charlize Theron, who showed off her impossibly long limbs today in Manhattan with the help of shimmering body oil and a leg-lengthening bare pedicure. While seasonably appropriate, the effortless move felt inspiring—if not a bit alarming, a sound reminder for those who have yet to pay a visit to their local salon.

The Tully actress and mother of two is in good company with her polish choice, following in the footsteps of fellow nude-shade connoisseurs, Kim Kardashian West and Chrissy Teigen, both of whom have recently opted for the pinkish hue. The trick is the ultimate tromp d oeuil, and when paired with strappy high stilettos, reinforces the illusion of never-ending legs—an added bonus to Theron s already toned physique. And for the former ballerina, no bombshell moment is complete without a statement red lip, her unraveling updo offering a laissez-faire feel to the jaw-dropping look. City girls, take note: The best summer accessory is a clean, beach-ready pedicure.
