ARIANA GRANDE: Ariana Grande brought serious sparkle to the “Wicked” Sydney premiere, honoring Glinda’s legacy in style! Dazzling in Vivienne Westwood, she paid homage to the iconic pink gown, topped off with custom butterfly bling by Lorraine Schwartz. And this wasn’t your average accessory—the butterfly-shaped choker clocked in at 90 carats alone and between her necklace, earrings, and a variety of rings – Grande’s overall jewelry look totaled over 100 carats in diamonds! It’s a glam throwback that would make the original Glinda proud.

JONATHAN BAILEY: Jonathan Bailey gave us a little Aussie nod on the red carpet, thanks to his sparkly new friend! When asked by Aussie Today about his choice, Bailey quipped, “I’ve got on a tiny little frog that I’m calling Toadie, after my favorite Neighbours character.” And this glittery amphibian was no ordinary accessory! Emmanuel Tarpin designed the dazzling frog perched slyly on Bailey’s waistband, coated in a color gradient of sapphires. A playful tribute, a little sparkle, and a dash of Aussie flair—could Bailey’s style get any more charming?
