Kristen Stewart amfar gala cannes 2018 Kristen Stewart amfar gala cannes 2018Kristen Stewart amfar gala cannes 2018LAURA HARRIER: Like  Alessandra Ambrosio with her de Grisogono jewels, actress Laura Harrier wore her diamond Serpenti Bulgari necklace backward on the amfAR red carpet. Although the Row dress she wore looks better from the back, we’re wondering if it had the same dramatic effect that Alessandra’s did? Thoughts?

The model donned two diamond serpenti wrap bracelets and ring all on her left arm which we love. She topped off her look with a delightful pair of diamond and emerald Serpenti earrings.
