Best Jewelry at The amfAR Cannes Gala

One of our all-time favorite events during the Cannes Film Festival is the annual amfAR Gala hosted by Sharon Stone. With a bevy of models, celebrities, and musicians this year’s event which was smaller in scale carried a film-centric theme of “I Am A Movie Star.” and gathered to raise money and awareness for AIDS research. Scroll down to see the best jewelry looks of the night.

SHARON STONE: The MC of the night wore a variety of High Jewelry looks from Chopard including these delightful colored titanium and pink sapphire orchid earrings. Do they look familiar? They should! Maggie Gyllenhaal wore them earlier that week as well as Cate Blanchett.

The white shirt with skirt look is very reminiscent of the 1996 Oscars. Here she is again twenty-five years later with a similar look this time paired with a Chopard amethyst collar from their Temptations Collection.

REGINA KING: King’s Battement D’Ailes earrings and ring from Boucheron were a pleasant surprise when she hit the amfAR carpet. While we like the jewels we wished that King opted for a stunning statement necklace to really seal this epic Old Hollywood glamour moment. Don’t you agree?

AT THE ‘ALINE, THE VOICE OF LOVE‘ PREMIERE:

ISABELI FONTANA: We saw the same necklace from Messika’s High Jewelry Color Play collection in collaboration with Kate Moss on model Taylor Hill two days before but if you ask us we like model Isabeli Fontana’s malachite version much better. Wouldn’t you agree?

AT THE ‘A FELESEGAM TORTENETE (THE STORY OF MY WIFE)‘ PREMIERE:

SHARON STONE:  These beautiful High Jewelry earrings previously dangled on the lobes of Bella Hadid at the Dior Dinner.  As one of our all-time favorite Chopard pieces to come from Cannes, we felt that the earrings still needed their proper red carpet debut and we were anxiously waiting every day to see if we could spot them! So when Sharon stepped onto the carpet wearing that floral D&G gown with the earrings we love, we knew hands down that this was the iconic Cannes moment those divine earrings deserved to have thanks to Sharon Stone.
