Whether you love them for their high wattage sparkle or classic elegance, diamond jewelry has always been a red carpet staple. Here are our top picks in no specific order of the best diamond jewelry of 2018.
Beyonce: How could you not forget Beyonce’s custom $4 million Lorraine Schwartz diamond geometric earrings from the Grammy Awards? We wondered why she wore the sunglasses but if you’ve got 70 carats worth of diamonds plus another 35 carats for the center pear-shaped stones, you too would need shades to shield your eyes from all that blinding bling!
Zendaya: Still remains one of our best jewelry looks at the 2018 Oscars. She wowed us with her vintage diamond suite of jewels from Bulgari.
Shay Mitchell: She has had one hell of a great red carpet run for 2018 but the jewelry look that stood out for us was her Messika diamond ear cuff she wore to the post Golden Globe parties. 
Elsa Hosk: The VS model gave us some major Marilyn Monroe diamonds are a girls best friend vibes at Cannes this year. Elsa was picture perfect in a 5 strand diamond necklace and matching bracelet from Chopard. 
Katy Perry: We’ve fallen for this combination of diamond jewelry that Katy wore to Disney’s ABC TV Press Tour. Her Colette diamond choker went seamlessly well with her edgy diamond APM Monaco ear cuff.
Julianne Hough: Sometimes the best jewels are worn after the Oscars. Julianne proved this when she wore a diamond Deco stunner with jade accents from Lorraine Schwartz to the Vanity Fair Oscar after party. 
Lady Gaga: Gaga had everyone talking about these Chopard earrings at the Toronto International Film Festival. Although we saw these beauties before (Charlize Theron wore them to the Oscars) you have to admit Chopard wins hands down for creating one of the best pair of diamond earrings we have seen on the red carpet.
Rihanna: It’s not called the Diamond Ball for nothing. The 30-year old Fenty Beauty creator wore over 100-carats of diamond jewelry from Chopard. Our favorite piece from this droolworthy look? Her eleaborate diamond bracelet which is actully a secret watch!
Cate Blanchett: Another Chopard diamond jewelry look we fell in love with this year. Cate rocked a serious pair of diamond fringe earrings with bracelet at the Cannes premiere of Capharnaum.
Cindy Bruna: Diamonds and drama? Check! Model Cindy Bruna worked these amazing and flawless diamond ear climbers by De Grisogono at the Burning premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
Lais Ribeiro: At the amfAR Gala during Cannes model Lais Ribeiro wowed us with her dramatic collar of diamonds from Messika. The necklace, called Persian Drops, is from Messika’s Once Upon a Time High Jewelry collection.

LADY GAGA: Gaga was on hand at the 32nd American Cinematheque award presentation Thursday night (November 29th) honoring her A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper. The actress and singer wore a flawless pair of radiant diamond cluster earrings from Amwaj Jewellery which were the perfect length to complement the halter neck of her red carpet dress. 
SANDRA BULLOCK: The actress for her Birch Box premiere in Germany teamed her lime green and silver sequin Alberta Ferretti with black diamond Lady Stardust earrings from Stephen Webster. We have to admit we’re on the fence with this pairing. The length of the earrings are perfect but the edgy and avant-garde style just doesn’t seem to fit with the outfit. Do you agree?
NICOLE KIDMAN: Wearing her signature stack of diamond bracelets and diamond watch from Omega, Nicole took the red carpet at the 2018 ARIA Awards to support her hubby Keith Urban. Did we tell you that we’re especially enamored with her Harry Winston earrings?
ELISABETH ROHM: Joining 
ALYSSA MILANO: Alyssa certainly knows how to accessorize her embellished off-the-shoulder gown. The actress on hand for UNICEF’s Annual Snowflake Ball wisely chose APM Monaco’s floral pearl encrusted earrings that perfectly picked up the subtle pearl floral embroidery details of her red carpet dress. 
JIHAE: The South Korean-born actress rocked our world at the Mortal Engines premiere in London. We love how Jihae layered on at least four statement necklaces from Dannijo to create one huge dramatic and very sparkly jewelry statement. Our eyes were particularly drawn to Dannijo’s Margaux necklace pictured below as it reminds us of Cartier’s Patiala necklace.
DAKOTA JOHNSON: Dakota was in Morocco for the Marrakech International Film Festival this week. Her glitzy blush sequined Gucci gown required a pair of equally glitzy earrings to go with it. The star chose Messika’s asymmetrical diamond Sirenetta earrings to give a little edge to her outfit.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA: Christina brought some drama to her ears with Art School’s Pair Antenna earrings. The oversize ‘A’ and ‘S’ earrings which were made in collaboration with jewelry designer Alex Rodriguez, looked like little pieces of sculptural art dangling from Xtina’s lobes.
KATHRYN HAHN: The Private Life actress wore one of our favourite earrings offered from Beladora Jewelry. These show-stopping Laura Munder chandeliers feature a glorious combination of peach and bright pink sapphires surrounded by diamonds and topped off with a cream pearl! 
CHLOE GRACE MORETZ: Chloe brought a dash of Art Deco to her red carpet outfit with a striking pair of green jade and diamond earrings. The $5950 stunners feature bezel-set cabochon bottoms suspended from diamond set geometric links.
KESHA: Kesha hopped on the feather trend train with her iridescent sequin and pink feathered gown. The singer accented her look with a Roberto Bravo opal and emerald ring, Anne Sisteron moonstone lariat and a pair of Jared Lehr 18k sapphire diamond and morganite earrings (similar to the ones shown below). Our only wish? That we somehow got to see her beautiful earrings behind all that hair.
LAURA DERN: Fernando Jorge Fusion drop earrings in chalcedony graced the ears of Laura Dern. While we love the earrings the color appears washed out against Laura’s skin tone. Perhaps Fernando’s ruby and amethyst verison of the earring would have brightened up Laura’s red carpet ensemble.
