It’s back! The BAFTAs are here and so are the jewels. The British event, which honors the very best in film and television, served up not just a healthy dose of diamonds but a ton of jewelry surprises and delights. The men brought brooch moments in spades, with Alan Cumming, Joe Alwyn, and Tom Blyth leading the charge. The women didn’t hold back either, thanks to Teyana Taylor and Tilda Swinton. Diamonds still reigned supreme, from Kylie’s 71-carat earrings to Sadie Sink’s Bvlgari gems. Cool-girl jewels came from Gillian Anderson’s bi-color Desert Diamond earrings to Kpop Demon Hunters star Rei Ami’s nail-themed David Webb creations. The variety was everything.
All the jewelry that stole last year’s BAFTAs, right here!
TEYANA TAYLOR: At this point, just hand her the contract. Teyana Taylor turned the BAFTAs into a Tiffany showcase, pinning a Schlumberger Bird on a Rock brooch packed with 54-plus carats of citrine, plus stacking on a Sixteen Stone ring, an archival bracelet from the brand’s vault, circa 1940–1950, crafted in gold and platinum with diamonds and citrines. and spessartine ring. Brand alignment? Crystal clear.
MONICA BELLUCCI: The Cartier queen has arrived at the BAFTAs. What could be more fitting for royalty on the red carpet? How about a never-before-seen Cartier Salento necklace cascading in diamonds and sapphires, quietly stealing the entire show.
ODESSA A’ZION: If you’re thinking diamonds on the Marty Supreme star, think again. Swarovski crystals all the way, and yes… they’re set to steal the BAFTAs spotlight. Odessa wore a Sublima cocktail ring, Matrix and Sublima rings and Mesmera choker.
GUGU MBATHA-RAW: If you didn’t clock Gugu Mbatha-Raw in that Cartier high jewelry, that’s on you. That Cartier high-jewelry bracelet alone — 34.66-carat peridot, black lacquer, diamonds and the matching ear cuffs? Carpet goals! Face card on 10!
REI AMI: The KPop Demon Hunters star Rei Ami said more is more and made it $76,100 more in David Webb. Bent Nail diamond earrings worth $9,300, a $22,000 Two Tone Twisted Nail collar, a $19,000 Crossover Cubit ring and a $25,800 Park Avenue bangle. Subtle? Absolutely not.
JENNA COLEMAN: We weren’t in love with the Armani dress Coleman chose to wear. What we did love were her earrings and rings from Messika high jewellery Diamond Catcher collection.
ALIA BHATT: Channeling Marilyn Monroe for her first BAFTA, it only made sense for the Bollywood beauty to pair her look with diamonds from David Morris. Bhatt wore white diamond Cluster Tassel earrings with two white diamond rings that Monroe would certainly approve.
GLENN CLOSE: Following Swinton’s brooch moment, Glenn Close wore Anabela Chan diamond Cushion Wing Studs and a Cherry Blossom Branch brooch in black rhodium with baroque pearls.
ROSE BYRNE: Up for Best Actress for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Byrne had a full diamond moment with Plume de Paon. Large pendant earrings glittered with rose-cut and round diamonds, the small ring flashed a rose-cut center with pavé, and the wedding band was pure diamond pavé in white gold. Every piece a showstopper courtesy of Boucheron.
SADIE SINK: Sink stuck with diamonds, all from Bvlgari. High Jewelry earrings dotted her lobes while around her neck sat what looks to be a never-before-seen high jewelry Bvlgari diamond pendant necklace.
KYLIE JENNER: Timothée’s other half went full diamond overload. Hard to miss those exceptional Moussaieff high jewellery earrings with 71.94 carats of diamonds hanging from her lobes and a matching 15.51-carat diamond ring.
TILDA SWINTON: The boys weren’t the only ones wearing brooches. Case in point, Tilda and her Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 Jabot pin straight from the runway.
GILLIAN ANDERSON: Edgy and mismatched, Anderson gave cool girl vibes wearing Desert Diamond earrings by Ara Vartanian.
May we present to you the men of the BAFTAs and their jewels:
REGÉ-JEAN PAGE: Move over black-tie basics, Regé-Jean Page came to the 2026 BAFTAs to dominate.
Pinned to his lapel, a one-of-a-kind dragonfly brooch by Hirsh London featuring a 0.67-carat kite-shaped natural pink diamond at its heart. The lattice wings shimmered with brilliant-cut natural pink diamonds set in 18K rose gold, crafted en tremblant so they actually trembled with movement. Subtle? Not remotely.
And before the BAFTAs, at the Charles Finch & Chanel Pre-BAFTA Party, he delivered another lapel moment: an Atlas Carré Royal Zenith brooch in grey gold and lab-grown diamonds, centered by a brilliant-cut stone and glowing against velvet. Two brooches. Two nights.
ALAN CUMMING: Leave it to BAFTA host Alan Cumming and stylist Sam Spector to treat the red carpet like a jewelry runway. First the Atlas Carré Royal Supernova with that juicy amethyst center, then a Royal Starburst in white gold and diamonds. A double brooch moment? We’re enchanted.
TOM BLYTH: How about that brooch on Blyth. $62,000 Cartier Grain de Café crafted from 18K yellow gold and platinum, featuring 7 princess-cut and 63 brilliant-cut diamonds.
DAVID JONSSON: We almost missed The Wasteman star’s epic Cartier three-leaf clover brooch. It looks to be antique, set with diamonds and colored gemstones.
WAGNER MOURA: Brazilian actor and filmmaker pinned a White Sakura Blossom brooch from Anabela Chan with lab-grown white diamonds and freshwater pearls.
JOE ALWYN: Joe Alwyn and his white suit coat got a little glint of gold thanks to his Chaumet Bouquet of Leaves brooch, circa 1970.
ARCHIE MADEKWE: The BAFTA Rising Star nominee took his pinkie game seriously at the BAFTAs with a $24,758 light yellow diamond ring from Wave Antiques and topped off his look with a white diamond brooch by Ara Vartanian.
