Last year, on the red carpet of the Met Gala, designers ascended to fashion’s highest altar chasing the limits of beauty, construction and spectacle, from Diana Ross’s 18-foot train by Ugo Mozie to Zendaya’s crisp white Louis Vuitton suit by Pharrell Williams. But it was also a sacred hour for jewellers, who adorned the necks, wrists, ears and lapels of Met Gala-goers with centuries-old stones, storied settings and—more often than not—a bodyguard somewhere nearby.
Men commanded the red carpet in sharp tailoring and serious carats. The dress code, “Tailored for You,” asked attendees to come as their most considered, expressive selves. And for many, that meant letting the jewellery speak.
See Teyana Taylor, whose Ruth E. Carter-designed getup was festooned with a serpentine-esque jewel piece down her back, a baroque choker, multiple brooches, and a watch fob-like chain. Anne Hathaway’s hulking Bulgari sapphire necklace. And Isha Ambani’s necklace stack: a vintage-inspired solitaire necklace from her personal collection—an homage to the Maharaja of Nawanagar—the largest diamond is a whopping cushion cut at 80.73 carats! (But did we expect anything less?)
Twin jewellery designers Soull and Dynasty Ogun of L’Enchanteur arrived gleaming in layered chains rich with spiritual and ancestral meaning. But let’s not forget it was a night for the bro-brooch, as well! All the best-dressed men turned out with a brooch on their lapel. And in the case of Lewis Hamilton, on his hat, too! His Baobab-inspired brooches (which Wales Bonner made in collaboration with SNOW Diamonds) glittered with garnets, a nod to his January birthday and diamonds.
All these and more of the best jewellery moments from the 2025 Met Gala, below.
