LISA FROM BLACKPINK: K-pop queen Lisa from Blackpink rocked Bulgari’s High Jewelry Serpenti Tubogas necklace with emeralds and diamonds, but let’s be real—the ring stole the spotlight. With a 28-carat cushion morganite that was hard to miss, it might have just outshone the necklace.
TAYLOR SWIFT: If you’ve ever wondered what 30-carat pear-shaped canary yellow diamonds look like, check out Taylor’s earlobes! We’re all about a stellar Swift and Schwartz red carpet moment, and those Lorraine Schwartz earrings—featuring 30 carats of pear-shaped canary yellow diamonds surrounded by bold black jade—were our favorites of the night.
Embracing her inner rock star, Swift took the stage dripping in a treasure trove of gems! From diamond horn earrings and bracelets by Rainbow K to pavé diamond drop hoops and rings from Ali Weiss Jewelry, she also flaunted pieces from Jade Ruzzo, Retrouvai, MATEO, Lizzie Mandler, Grown Brilliance, and For Future Reference Vintage.

She dazzled in not one but two enormous black and white diamond cocktail rings and a stunning diamond bracelet. Talk about a triple threat in the sparkle department!
PARIS HILTON: We’re taking notes from the queen herself, Paris Hilton, who stacked multiple Swarovski Millenia chokers and necklaces to craft one epic neckpiece. Talk about dripping in crystals so sparkling, they could pass for diamonds!
CAMILA CABELLO: Is it even a music awards show without a bold cross jewelry moment? Camila Cabello nailed the vibe, dripping in Gothic black diamond cross gems by Loree Rodkin. Channeling Madonna, maybe? Either way, she served some serious divine diva energy!

TYLA: The award for most colorful jewels of the night goes to Tyla, who turned heads with an aquamarine lucite necklace from Alexis Bittar and cosmic pink Luna Petite earrings from Saule. Her fingers were a candy-colored dream thanks to her Fabergé gemstone rings, which included a $28,900 pink spinel and diamond stunner and a $69,500 orange topaz masterpiece.
AYRA STARR: The only female artist to rock a timepiece on the red carpet was Ayra Starr, who flaunted her wrist with a stunning 168 white diamond Jacob & Co. Jagged Gem Boutique watch. She paired it with their Angelic Diamond Drop earrings, proving that every second counts when you’re dripping in gems!
