LISA FROM BLACKPINK: K-pop queen Lisa from Blackpink rocked Bulgari’s High Jewelry Serpenti Tubogas necklace with emeralds and diamonds, but let’s be real—the ring stole the spotlight. With a 28-carat cushion morganite that was hard to miss, it might have just outshone the necklace.
TAYLOR SWIFT: If you’ve ever wondered what 30-carat pear-shaped canary diamonds look like, just check out Taylor’s earlobes! We’re all about a stellar Swift and Schwartz red carpet moment, and those Lorraine Schwartz studs framed by bold black jade were our favorites of the night.
Embracing her inner rock star, Swift took the stage dripping in a treasure trove of gems! From diamond horn earrings and bracelets by Rainbow K to pavé diamond drop hoops and rings from Ali Weiss Jewelry, she also flaunted pieces from Jade Ruzzo, Retrouvai, MATEO, Lizzie Mandler, Grown Brilliance and For Future Reference Vintage.
MEGAN THEE STALLION: Another Schwartz moment lit up the MTV VMAs carpet, courtesy of host, nominee, and performer Megan Thee Stallion. She dazzled in not one but two enormous black and white diamond cocktail rings and a stunning diamond bracelet. Talk about a triple threat in the sparkle department!
PARIS HILTON: We’re taking notes from the queen herself, Paris Hilton, who stacked multiple Swarovski Millenia chokers and necklaces to craft one epic neckpiece. Talk about dripping in crystals so sparkling, they could pass for diamonds!
CAMILA CABELLO: Is it even a music awards show without a bold cross jewelry moment? Camila Cabello nailed the vibe, dripping in Gothic black diamond cross gems by Loree Rodkin. Channeling Madonna, maybe? Either way, she served some serious divine diva energy!
DAMIANO DAVID: Have we just discovered Tiffany & Co.’s next ambassador? Måneskin’s Damiano David sure seems to be vying for the title! He strutted his stuff rocking the iconic ‘Bird On A Rock’ brooch by Jean Schlumberger, complete with an enormous oval-shaped amethyst that could make any magpie swoon. Talk about a rockstar accessory!
SABRINA CARPENTER: Diamonds were definitely on the menu for the Espresso star! She hit the carpet in De Beers’ 18k white gold ‘Swan Lake’ necklace with 23.95 carats of diamonds, a platinum ring with a 3.35-carat emerald-cut diamond, and ‘Snow Dance’ earrings with another 2.75 carats.
Her performance was a diamond dream literally! Sitting on a diamond-shaped swing sat a Bulgari High Jewelry platinum necklace with a dazzling 21.12-carat pear spinel around Carpenter’s neck complete with matching diamond earrings.
She capped off her VMA celebration with Messika Persian Drop earrings—yep, the same stunners Beyoncé flaunted with Jay-Z in their ‘APESHIT’ video!
TYLA: Award for most colorful jewels of the night goes to Tyla, who turned heads with an aquamarine lucite necklace from Alexis Bittar and cosmic pink Luna Petite earrings from Saule. Her fingers were a candy-colored dream thanks to her Fabergé gemstone rings which included a $28,900 pink spinel and diamond stunner and a $69,500 orange topaz masterpiece.
AYRA STARR: The only female artist to rock a timepiece on the red carpet was Ayra Starr, who flaunted her wrist with a stunning 168 white diamond Jacob & Co. Jagged Gem Boutique watch. She paired it with their Angelic Diamond Drop earrings, proving that every second counts when you’re dripping in gems!
CHAPPELL RONAN: Can we take a moment to appreciate the details on Chappell Ronan? Those pearl-tipped nails are pure perfection, the dainty mesh purse is a vintage dream, and don’t even get me started on that L. Shalom Cocoanut Grove Armor ring—it’s giving ultimate edgy glam vibes!
TATE MCRAE: Is Tate McRae dropping hints with her earrings & rings? Sporting diamond-studded handcuffs called Love Lockdown and paired with a double gold pave ring from Jacob & Co., she’s clearly not just about locking down the style game!
