We’re rounding up the 12 best celebrity jewelry looks from the 2026 CFDA Awards, including the diamonds, emeralds and unexpected details that had us looking twice.

And if you can’t get enough CFDA red carpet jewels, take a look back at some of our favorite jewelry moments from previous years!

Gracie Abrams necklace at 2026 CFDA Awards

GRACIE ABRAMS: Blink and you almost missed it! Gracie Abrams had a major back moment thanks to her Chanel Tweed Perlé necklace, crafted in white gold and set with diamonds and cultured pearls. But here’s the clever part: a detachable section can be removed and worn as a bracelet. Two ways to wear one very clever Chanel creation!


Iman's jewerly at 2026 CFDA Awards

IMAN: The supermodel came dressed to impress in Fred Leighton jewels and a Kwiat diamond and onyx bracelet set in platinum. But the real showstopper? That Fred Leighton twin pear-shaped white and fancy brown diamond ring! Try looking away from that one.


Demi Moore's diamond jewelry at 2026 CFDA Awards

DEMI MOORE: Denim on the dress, diamonds on just about everything else! Moore gave double denim a serious upgrade at the 2025 CFDA Awards, pairing her custom GapStudio by Zac Posen creation with Hassanzadeh rings and drop earrings. Each earring packed two 4-carat pear-shaped diamonds and a 3-carat round brilliant-cut diamond. Talk about dressing up your denim!


Olandria's jewelry at 2026 CFDA Awards

OLANDRIA: The Love Island cutie clearly couldn’t choose between diamonds and emeralds, so she went for BOTH! She piled on the sparkle with Oscar Heyman diamond stud earrings and a gorgeous diamond and emerald necklace by Spectrum Jewels. That pop of green against her black gown was the perfect finishing touch!


Carolyn Murphy's jewelry at 2026 CFDA Awards

CAROLYN MURPHY: Carolyn Murphy had a serious case of Ana Khouri fever at the 2026 CFDA Awards! The model piled on the designer’s jewels, including rings and ear cuffs, but it was her one-of-a-kind 2026 High Jewelry necklace that really got our attention. Crafted with baguette, round and rondelle diamonds, this was no ordinary necklace moment!


Yseult's necklace at 2026 CFDA Awards

YSEULT: Halle Berry wore it in Cannes. Now Yseult has taken the serpent out for another spin! The French singer-songwriter and model wore Chopard’s magnificent Serpent necklace, featuring 87.46 carats of white diamonds, 12.21 carats of emeralds and 0.77 carats of yellow sapphires. And here’s the kicker: this extraordinary creation took 900 hours to make!


Lila Moss jewelry at 2026 CFDA Awards

LILA MOSS: Talk about a head-turning jewelry moment! Kate Moss’ daughter made her own jewelry statement in JUJU VERA, the label founded by designer Julia Ferentinos, who was nominated for this year’s Emerging Designer of the Year Award. The custom headpiece featured a pear-shaped diamond drop, which she paired with coordinating dangling earrings.

LUPITA NYONG’O: Wondering why we promised 12 jewelry looks but only featured 11 celebrities? Well, Lupita Nyong’o decided one look simply wasn’t enough! She delivered not one but TWO standout jewelry moments at this year’s CFDA Awards.

For her first look, she went head-to-toe Tiffany & Co., wearing Elsa Peretti Teardrop earrings and a pair of Double Bone cuffs. For her second appearance, she switched things up with an incredible pair of diamond statement earrings by CFDA Award winner Ana Khouri. That’s how you earn two spots on the list!


Camille Rowe's jewelry at 2026 CFDA Awards

CAMILLE ROWE: Wait until you see what Camille Rowe was hiding below the hemline! The French model and actress wore JUJU VERA’s Olympia armband and silver Nani earrings, but the real surprise was an 18K gold VERA diamond anklet set with 3.5 carats of natural diamonds.


Elle Fanning's jewelry at 2026 CFDA Awards

ELLE FANNING: Meow! Elle Fanning went straight for the big cat at Cartier. The actress wore a Panthère de Cartier pendant necklace featuring emerald eyes, onyx spots and nose, plus a fringe of rubellites, onyx and diamonds. And the reported price tag? A cool $495,000 USD. That’s one expensive feline!


Law Roach's cocktail ring at 2026 CFDA Awards

LAW ROACH: Law Roach has a weakness for a BIG cocktail ring, and this 53-carat beauty is right up his alley! The stylist to the stars slipped on a massive emerald-cut diamond solitaire by Leviev, which clearly made an impression. In fact, this is its second red carpet appearance! The ring first made its debut at the Met Gala in May. Guess Law wasn’t ready to give this one up!
