Of course, Met Gala is the night when designers stand on the highest hall of fashion and challenge the limits of aesthetics—from Diana Ross’s 18-foot-long trail designed by Ugo Mozie to Zendaya wearing a slick white suit for Louis Vuitton by Pharrell Williams. But this is also a sacred moment for jewelers—whats that embellish the neck, wrists, earlobes and lapels of the red carpet guests are century-old gems, legendary inlay technology, and (usually) bodyguards who are invisible. Tonight, Shine is not just accessories—it is the protagonist.
This year's Metropolitan Museum of Art's clothing exhibition is themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, focusing on the elegant revolution of Black dandyism and self-style reshaping – so male stars not only debuted with exquisite tailoring, but also made their domineering appearance with gocarat jewelry, which is more appropriate. Echoing the theme “Tailored for You”, the stars appeared in the most attentive and expressive style, many of which chose to make the jewelry speak out.
Like Teyana Taylor, her design by Ruth E. Carter embellishes a serpentine bead chain hanging along the back, paired with a baroque necklace, multiple brooches, and a decorative like a pocket watch chain. Anne Hathaway wore a giant Bulgari sapphire necklace. And among Isha Ambani's stacked jewelry combination, the most eye-catching thing is her private collection of retro style single diamond necklaces – a tribute to Nawanagar's Tubang Maharaja, the largest main diamond is a 80.73 carat pillow-shaped cut! (But we are not surprised by her jewelry formation, right?)
Jewelry design duo Soull and Dynasty Ogun (brand L'Enchanteur) made their debut, with the stacked chains full of spirituality and ancestral symbols. They are not only guests, but also participants in the exhibition “Superfine”. They were invited to design a gold coin pendant that symbolizes the connection between decorative meaning and culture.
Don’t forget that this year is also the night when “bro-brooch” – men’s brooch – is blooming! Almost all the best men's look have a brooch on the lapel. Lewis Hamilton even puts a brooch on his hat! His brooch inspired by Baobabs by Wales Bonner and SNOW Diamonds, made of garnet and diamonds, pays tribute to his January birthday.
