The Met Gala is known for its extravagant red carpet, where fashion is not just worn but celebrated as art. This year, however, the jewelry took center stage, captivating attention and telling stories as powerful as those found in cinema or theater.
Jewelry Highlights at the Met Gala
The theme of the evening focused on celebrating Black dandy culture, an elegant and bold style that represents freedom and self-expression. Guests arrived not just with stunning outfits but with meticulously chosen jewelry that often defined their overall look.
Teyana Taylor’s ensemble stood out with a striking design, featuring a sickle-shaped piece along her back and a bold baroque choker around her neck. The jewelry resembled an ancient artifact, yet it came alive with her dynamic presence. Anne Hathaway also caught the eye with a dazzling sapphire necklace from Bulgari, which commanded attention from across the room. Meanwhile, Isha Ambani wore a massive diamond necklace weighing over 80 carats, evoking the grandeur of Indian royal jewelry from centuries past.
Jewelry with Meaning
The most memorable moments came from the designers behind the L’Enchanteur brand. Their jewelry was more than just beautiful—it told stories of family, culture, and faith. It wasn’t about the sparkle, but the deep meaning embedded in the pieces.
The men at the Met Gala weren’t outshone by the women. Many wore brooches on their lapels, while Lewis Hamilton made a personal statement with garnet details on his hat. The garnet, his birthstone, added a personal touch to his outfit.
One of the most exciting debuts of the night was made by the Ukrainian jewelry brand SOLO for Diamonds. Actress Myha’la Herrold wore a pair of cultured diamond earrings from the brand. The earrings were not just elegant but perfectly complemented the evening’s theme, adding depth to the overall experience.
Jewelry Beyond Status
The Met Gala 2025 proved that jewelry is not merely a symbol of wealth or status. It’s a reflection of ideas, personal stories, and identity. When jewelry speaks to the heart and soul, it transcends mere decoration and becomes true magic.
