Closely cropped necklaces
Closely cropped diamond necklaces in the form of torques, chokers and collars emerged as a defining styling choice, framing the neckline with brilliance and sculptural elegance. Jessie Buckley embraced the trend in a closely cropped diamond necklace by Chanel, while Elle Fanning selected a striking collar-style design by Cartier shaped like cascading wisteria, blending nature-inspired artistry with high jewelry craftsmanship. Kylie Jenner opted for a bold interpretation with an oversized diamond cluster necklace by Lorraine Schwartz, delivering maximum impact through scale and sparkle, while Arden Cho wore a stunning choker in the shape of feathers by Messika. Kate Hudson also leaned into the silhouette with a collar necklace by Garatti High Jewelry, reinforcing the growing prominence of diamond pieces worn close to the collarbone.

Diamond Brooches
Brooches made a confident return to the red carpet, emerging as one of the evening’s most expressive accessories. Hudson Williams, among the first actors to arrive, helped set the tone in a sparkling brooch by BVLGARI. Jeremy Pope embraced the trend with multiple brooches by Anabela Chan Jewelry, while Damson Idris wore a custom piece from his own brand, DIDRIS. The styling momentum of sparkling diamonds against black tie continued across the carpet, with Fortune Feimster, Milo Manheim, Kumail Nanjiani, Joe Alwyn, Kieran Culkin, Wagner Moura, and Raphael Saadiq all incorporating brooches into their looks. Channing Tatum and Shaboozey also participated in the diamond brooch trend, with Shaboozey notably wearing two brooches, including one styled as a neck closure, highlighting the accessory’s renewed versatility and modern appeal.
