Ghoulish Glam: The Spookiest Jewelry Worn by Celebrities

Celebs aren’t immune to the bewitching charms of Halloween; they embrace the spooky season with just as much enthusiasm as we do! In the spirit of this eerie holiday, we’re delving into the crypt of celebrity fashion, unearthing some of the spookiest and most hair-raising jewelry moments. From Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton’s infamous vials of blood, which took “commitment” to a whole new level, to Billy Porter’s penchant for sparkling spider gems that would make any arachnophobe shiver, it’s a chilling journey through the ghoulishly glamorous side of Hollywood. So, grab your cauldron, light your pumpkin-scented candles, and join us in this star-studded Halloween jewelry extravaganza – it’s going to be a “boo”-last!

MACHINE GUN KELLY’S BLOODY SYRINGE EARRING:

Machine Gun Kelly's Syringe earring filled with blood

Machine Gun Kelly sure knows how to make a statement, and he had us all doing a double take at the Tribeca Film Festival during the premiere of his film “Taurus.” What caught everyone’s eye? Well, it was that hard-to-miss syringe earring, complete with a daring blood droplet. But here’s the kicker – whose blood could it be? Your guess is as good as ours, but we’re ready to place our bets on it being a tribute to his love, Megan Fox.

ANGELINA JOLIE & BILLY BOB THORNTON’S BLOOD-FILLED LOCKETS:

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie's blood lockets

Remember the days when Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton had us all intrigued with their unconventional romance? They took “wearing your heart on your sleeve” quite literally, adorning themselves with vials of each other’s blood during their marriage. In an interview with People.com, Thornton shed light on the origins of this unique gesture.

He explained, “The necklaces were a very simple thing. ‘Hey, let’s poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there, and when we’re away from each other, we’ll wear the necklace.'” It started as a sweet, intimate idea between the two lovebirds. However, as these things tend to go, by the time the press got hold of it, the story sounded more like they were carrying around gallons of blood, rather than a tiny drop of it.

What’s more, Jolie had even acquired clear lockets for this purpose, adding a touch of romance to their gesture. Thornton revealed, “She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razor blade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on these lockets, and you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter’s baby hair in one.” Love can take many forms, and for Angelina and Billy Bob, it was a symbol of their unique connection that left us all fascinated.

MEGAN FOX AND MACHINE GUN KELLY’S BLOOD VIAL PENDANTS:

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly's Blood Vial necklace

It’s no secret that love can take some unconventional forms, and it seems Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox might be taking a page from the Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton playbook. MGK made headlines when he revealed that he wears a vial containing Megan Fox’s blood around his neck – a gift from the actress herself.

This romantic revelation, shared on Valentine’s Day, left many raising their eyebrows at the uniqueness of the gesture. The decision to create this blood-bound connection was, as MGK explained, prompted by the distance that separated them when Megan had to travel to Bulgaria for a movie shoot. In his own playful words, the gift of “her DNA” became their version of commitment. Talk about taking the concept of being “bonded in blood” to a whole new level.

TIMOTHEE CHALAMET’S BONE-CHILLING NECKLACE:

Timothee Chalamet's bone necklace at Venice Film Festival

Timothée Chalamet had us all trembling with excitement at the London premiere of ‘Bones and All’ during the Venice Film Festival. The heartthrob paid a stylish tribute to his film, turning heads by donning a dazzling Vivienne Westwood choker that was absolutely blinged out. But here’s the kicker – it wasn’t just any choker; it was adorned with linked femur bones!

This audacious fashion choice sent shockwaves through the red carpet, proving that Chalamet knows how to make even bones look chic. It’s the kind of bold statement that only someone like Timothée can pull off with such effortless charm.

ZENDAYA’S SPARKLING SPIDER WEB EARRINGS:

Euphoria’s own Zendaya swung onto the red carpet at the ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ London photo call, but she wasn’t just wearing any old bling. Nope, she decided to get all webby with it and donned a pair of sparkling web earrings by none other than the celebrity favorite, Jacob & Co.

Now, these aren’t your average earrings; they’re what you might call “Jacob’s Web.” Picture this: two large white pearl-and-diamond spiders, decked out with about 752 round-cut gems, adding up to a whopping 3.62 carats. Zendaya’s nod to the Spider-Man universe is as spectacular as it is witty. Who knew that superhero fashion could be so… precious?

Billy Porter is no stranger to making a statement on the red carpet, and he sure knows how to rock the arachnid aesthetic.

Billy Porter's Erickson Beamon spider brooch at 17th Annual DKMS Gala

In a more recent fashion coup, he attended the 17th Annual DKMS Gala, opting to replace a traditional bow tie with Erickson Beamon’s extraordinary tarantula brooch, entirely covered in sparkling crystals. It was a bold move that showcased his flair for pushing fashion boundaries, proving that spider-themed accessories are the perfect way to weave a web of style on the red carpet.

She sauntered down the red carpet flaunting Balenciaga Gothic creepy crawlers as her choice of bling. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill earrings; they’ll set you back $1,250, and they’re dripping in matte antique gold brass with more bling than a disco ball – thanks to a dazzling mix of crystal, black, and ruby rhinestones. And what’s even more fabulous is that they decided to crawl up Doja’s ear tip like they had their own VMA afterparty up there.
