When it comes to showcasing stunning jewelry, the Met Gala red carpet always steals the spotlight. Renowned as “fashion’s grandest stage” and arguably the pinnacle of haute couture events, the Met Gala never disappoints with its display of extravagant and inventive jewelry pieces
This year’s Met Gala was no exception. From diamonds delicately draped over shoulders to floral-inspired gems adorning hairdos, the jewelry styling was nothing short of innovative. With a theme centered around “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and a dress code-themed “The Garden of Time,” celebrities embraced romantic and indulgent fashion, opting for statement pieces that exuded glamour. From Pamela Anderson’s chicly draped diamond necklace and Demi Moore’s sculptural gown inspired by a Cartier masterpiece to Ali Bhatt’s dreamy pastel-hued Sabyasachi gems, the red carpet delivered a lot of divine jewelry moments! Here are all the best jewelry looks from the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.
Recap all the divine jewelry moments from the men right here!
DEMI MOORE: Cartier’s choice of Demi Moore to unveil their High Jewelry Nature Sauvage collection was pure brilliance—a true showstopper! The Chloris set, inspired by the whimsical swirl of a dandelion, dazzled with diamonds and emeralds, making Moore’s ears and neck sparkle. Fun fact: her Harris Reed gown was inspired by the very Cartier Chloris necklace and earrings she wore. Now that’s synergy in style!
ALI BHATT: Bhatt’s sari demanded jewelry that could keep up, and Sabyasachi delivered the bling in spades! Picture this: diamonds, pearls, and a kaleidoscope of pastel tourmalines, sapphires, emeralds, and morganites—all in one stunning ensemble. And let’s not forget the star players: a headpiece fit for a queen and earrings that could double as chandeliers.
JENNIFER LOPEZ: Lopez’s entrance was nothing short of spectacular with her unveiling of the coveted ‘Wings’ necklace from the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Collection. Its centerpiece, a majestic stone weighing over 20 carats, reaffirmed her status as the queen of bling. But just when you thought you’d seen it all, a delightful twist awaited—a Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Bird on a Rock ring stole the show, showcasing a vibrant fancy intense yellow diamond surrounded by a dazzling ensemble of white diamonds and pink sapphires. Lopez’s dazzling display proves that while she may be rocking some serious rocks, she’s still the same Jenny from the block—just with a little extra sparkle!
ZENDAYA: Emeralds were the envy of all on the Garden of Time-themed Met Gala carpet just ask Zendaya, who rocked Bulgari’s High Jewelry earrings with oval emeralds and pear diamonds. And those emerald cushion studs? Yellow gold perfection! Oh, and let’s not overlook the ring—a blingy masterpiece with 24 buff-top emeralds and pavé-set diamonds
ANNA WINTOUR: Anna Wintour, the fashion powerhouse and Met Gala ringmaster, didn’t just follow the Met theme—she owned it! Picture this: a 19th-century diamond tremblant hanging spray of flowers brooch from Vever, Paris, circa 1860, with three flowers that tremble with style from S.J. Phillips Ltd. And let’s not forget her 19th-century necklace by the legendary jeweler Oscar Massin, boasting over 34 carats of rose-cut diamonds.
SHAKIRA: Shakira’s first Met Gala appearance? Red hot in Carolina Herrera, but guess what caught everyone’s attention? That vintage Cartier floral brooch from 1965, sparkling with diamonds and a cherry-red ruby. And that necklace? A dazzling Reflection de Cartier, dripping in diamonds!
UMA THURMAN: Uma’s custom periwinkle silk Tory Burch gown, inspired by the extinct American Xerces Blue butterfly, was pure magic. Tory said the butterfly’s iridescent blue wings reminded her of Uma’s eyes—talk about a perfect match! And to top it off, aquamarines from Fred Leighton, including an Art Deco ring and drop earrings, plus a 1950s Van Cleef & Arpels diamond bracelet. Now that’s what we call taking flight in style!

The model transformed into the crystal Flower holding the Garden of Time in its spell. Rocking a pink embroidered gown decked out in jewels from Swarovski’s Florere and Millenia families, she was basically a walking fairytale.
IRINA SHAYK: Irina Shayk channeled the air element in a dazzling crystal mesh couture gown, complemented by a bespoke Millenia choker and ear cuffs, along with layers of Hyperbola and Millenia bracelets—all shimmering in luminous clear crystal. She was floating through the event with an effortless elegance!

Completing the look, Gema cuffs and a bold earpiece radiated in a palette of golden-hued Swarovski crystals.
JESSICA BIEL: We couldn’t get enough of Biel’s Cartier Grain de Café jewels. The only downside? We were dying to see that necklace, wishing she had styled it in her hair like a laurel crown. Talk about a missed opportunity for some extra glamour!

Talk about making a splash!
ARIANA GRANDE: Grande embraced ethereal vibes, harmonizing her Loewe gown’s mother-of-pearl bust -the idea that a pearl has evolved over time and is, at its essence, a ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and also representative of Grande’s birthstone, was genius on her stylist’s part.

EMILY RATAJOWSKI: Model Emily was hard to miss with her dazzling diamond drop cluster earrings, a stunning yellow diamond tennis bracelet, and two standout natural diamond cocktail rings from Chopard.

Her multiple piercings were filled with stunning earrings from Roberto Coin and Wempe, making her Met Gala style truly unforgettable!
CARA DELEVINGNE: Sure, Delevingne adorned herself with tons of bracelets and rings, but it was the bespoke hooded bodice, meticulously hand-embroidered with over 500 carats of diamonds, sustainably created from Vrai, that truly stole the show!
FKA TWIGS: FKA Twigs was the ultimate sparkle fairy, gracing the Met Gala with her ethereal presence. Dripping in Stella McCartney’s lab-grown diamonds and adorning herself with Panconesi’s diamanti ear cuffs, finger, and toe rings, it was pure magic!

It’s all about those stunning details that truly make a statement!
NICOLE KIDMAN: Everyone couldn’t stop buzzing about Kidman’s diamond bracelet, and for good reason! This Harry Winston beauty holds a secret. It’s part of the “Secrets” collection, a fitting tribute to the brand’s founder, Mr. Harry Winston, known for his mysterious ways.

AYO EDEBIRI: We’d like to think that ‘The Bear’ star’s Met Gala look began with a ring—a pavé diamond hummingbird one from Boucheron, alight on a massive aquamarine, a playful tribute to the “Garden of Time” theme. And to keep the fun going? Boucheron’s Bleu Infini pendant earrings, decked out with pear-shaped aquamarines, come to play!
EIZA GONZALEZ: Opinions were split on Eiza’s Tuttitutti Cartier Libre Hiatus necklace, making its red carpet debut.

While some found it heavy, we couldn’t help but adore how the chrysoprase beads resembled moss, evoking a fairy tale-like charm.
LINDA EVANGELISTA: Returning to the Met Gala after six years, the model wowed in Ana Khouri’s 91-carat green tourmaline, white diamond, and Fairmined gold earrings. Taking cues from her captivating eyes, Khouri crafted an ‘unmatched’ pair: one earring bedecked with blue stones mirroring Linda’s eyes, while the other flaunted radiant green stones, perfectly in tune with the Garden of Time theme.
CHLOE SEVIGNY: The perennial NYC ‘It Girl’ actress, still a beacon of admiration for her indie style, chose an Ana Khouri gold choker for the Met Gala. Notice the diamond sitting at the edge of the necklace? Perfectly on par with Chloe’s edgy style.

PENELOPE CRUZ: Cruz and Chanel? It was written in the stars the moment we glimpsed her Tweed Pastel necklace and bracelet, shimmering in 18K white gold, diamonds, and cultured pearls. Add in the Tweed Mademoiselle ring and Bouton de Camélia earrings, both in 18K white gold and diamonds, and it was pure magic!
