As May begins to approach every year, the world turns its eyes on its favorite fashion carnival, Met Gala- which to no surprise, always lives up to the hype.
Again standing true to our expectations, Met Gala 2023 (held on May 1) was the kind of star-studded night that was lit up with all the glitz and glamour that it had to offer. This year, the late Karl Lagerfeld got to be the man of honor whose 65-year-old work in the field of fashion was celebrated and displayed for the world to pay tribute to. But most of all, what made the night worth capturing (for us, the bling lovers) was the kind of style inspiration our fashion-savvy celebrities served us with.
Uniquely incorporating the signature style of Lagerfeld in their ensembles, our favorite celebrities went all out with their choice of statement-making attires and above all, jewelry that didn’t just pull the entire look together but also gave us a lot to crush on for many years to come. Eye-striking chokers, diamond-dripped earrings, and Iconic Pearls made up for some of the most gram-worthy jewelry highlights from the big night.
Don’t worry if you couldn’t catch up on all the big jewelry moments from this fashion gala. We have you covered with the most iconic ones:
The Most Dazzling Jewels at the 2023
Met Gala

Priyanka Chopra
The woman who never fails to catch the eye with her confident fashion choices, Priyanka Chopra, brought the monochrome combination of Black and White to sartorial display and how! She paired her high-slit Black Gown (with hints of white sleeves) with a royal Blu Diamond Necklace from Bulgari that weighed a lofty 11.6 carats. Owing to the ocean blue centerpiece of a Diamond that was well complemented in a woven chain, this necklace turned heads more than anything else. For the earrings, she chose to rely on the timeless elegance of Pearls (while also honoring Lagerfeld’s love for them).

Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa, the honorable co-host of the glamour-filled night, again gave us a reason to crush on her stunning style. She chose to complement the elegance of her white ball gown with the most lavish and limelight-stealing accessory of the night. If you keep an ear out for the buzz, you’d know that we’re talking about the iconic Lucida Star Necklace from Tiffany that weighed a whopping 200 carats. This show-stealing piece is ornamented with a Cushion Cut Diamond that duplicates the iconic proportions of the largest yellow Diamond is known to the world. The piece was enough of a statement in itself, which is why she chose to let it stand out solo (by not pairing it with any other accessory- earrings, ring for instance)

Kate Moss
Wherever she goes, Kate Moss sets new trends and Met Gala wasn’t an exception. Honoring Lagerfeld’s love for feminine fashion, she walked the red carpet in a Silk Couture gown that was hued in the most aesthetically pleasing Pastel Colors. But what struck the eye was how she managed to keep the elegance of the look intact by going for a Diamond Choker Necklace from Tiffany and Co and a matching bracelet.

Florence Pugh
Have you ever seen someone bring together elegance and drama in a single look as efficiently as Florence Pugh just did at the Met Gala? The answer is a no-brainer. So, let’s just skip to heaping praises for her. She complemented her surreal white ball gown (with a black bow in between) with a dramatic towering headpiece (with black feathers) that was not something to look past. But what pulled the entire look together without messing with its color-contrasting cum bold appeal was the choice of teaming it up with understated Pearl Drop Earrings and a dazzling diamond bracelet.

Rihanna
Our star of the night (most nights actually), Rihanna arrived to steal the limelight and she was a serve! She seemed to be glowing in whites as she walked in a beautiful white bridal gown that was ornamented with floral appliques. She knew how to bring out the beauty of her bridal ensemble in the best manner with her choice of accessory. For the necklace, she chose drama by going for a flashy and flamboyant Diamond and Pearl Necklace. On the contrary, for the earrings, she chose to play it elegant by going for a graceful cum vintage pair of Floral Pearl Earrings. Long story short, statement-making Florals are the new cool and Rihanna is in no mood to disagree!

Emily Ratajkowski
Emily Ratajkowski is always on the top of her fashion game and Met Gala was just another occasion that witnessed it! While embracing neutrals, she slipped on a beige tulle gown that was dramatized by an iconic Black Ribbon (that if you haven’t guessed by now, was in honor of Lagerfeld). Lending a sparkling visual appeal to the entire look without over-dramatizing it was the choice of going for Feminine cum bold Diamond Drop Earrings.

Gigi Hadid
The supermodel with the most trend-savvy sense of style, Gigi Hadid turned heads as she flaunted a beautiful sheer black dress on the glorious red carpet of the Met Gala. But what lived up to our love for ‘something unique’ was how she lent a sparkly yet monochromatic touch to the look by accessorizing with a sheeny Pearl and Diamond Choker along with simple Diamond studs from Lagos. She made it loud and clear that no matter how dark and dramatic your outfit is, you just can’t go wrong with Pretty Pearls by your side.

Michelle Yeoh
Ever since she has won the Oscars, Michelle Yeoh has been owning all the celeb-studded nights. While we’re not strange to her love for jewelry, she yet again proved that she is the ultimate queen of making classic statements with the most incredible choice of jewelry. This time, she teamed up her waistcoat dress and black leather pants with a statement necklace sparkled up with Diamonds and Dainty Diamond Drop Earrings from Cartier.

Cardi B
No matter how many glamorous stars you see walking down the red carpet, Cardi B always knows how to stand out. She chose to be the center of attraction by slipping on a Black Gown embroidered with flower-inspired patterns. But how she convinced us that she is the ultimate queen of setting new trends is when she complemented this bold attire with the most elegant choice of accessories of all times- Pearl Dangle Earrings with Diamonds (that were quite enormous to look past).

Lily Collins
Everyone’s favorite Emily in Paris Star, Lily Collins showed us how to stand out with grace while sticking to the classic combination of Black and White. She effortlessly paired her ivory and black ball gown with the most classic choice of the night- Diamonds. But she exactly knew how to surprise us thanks to her choice of necklace that was ornamented with Diamond (in a shield shape) and Black Onyx. Besides that, she flaunted a simple pair of Diamond Studs and statement-making rings from Cartier.
