That’s 67 carats per ear—no other jewels required.

MARION COTILLARD: How do you elevate a denim gown into a dynamite red carpet look? Glamorize it with diamonds of course! Chanel’s diamond Sillage High Jewelry earrings and ring, which by the way, has a central cushion cut diamond of 8.15 carats from Chanel’s Collection No. 5, added the necessary glitz and glam to Cotillard’s denim jacket and skirt ensemble.

ANJA RUBIK: We adore Rubik’s diamond and black lacquer ribbon collar from Boucheron’s Deco-inspired High Jewelry collection. It’s a shame that Anja’s makeup choice of a dark lip distracts from that lovely necklace.
