Shimmering Jewels Light Up the Cannes Red Carpet

The only thing bright enough to rival the flashing paparazzi bulbs lining La Croisette? The sparkling high jewellery creations twinkling from the ears and fingers of the A-list on the Cannes red carpet.

This year, the Cannes Film Festival has been a showcase of extravagance, with one standout piece being the breathtaking pear-shaped platinum Tiffany & Co. choker adorned with 68 carats of diamonds, worn by Anya Taylor-Joy to the premiere of her film *Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga*. The choker has emerged as one of the festival’s biggest high-jewellery trends this summer.

Other notable jewellery moments include jury president Greta Gerwig, who exuded Old Hollywood glamour in Chopard, and Léa Seydoux, who dazzled in a sapphire-centered piece by Louis Vuitton. Helena Christensen also turned heads with Pomellato’s signature gourmette chain, featuring over 2,000 white diamonds.

Additional high jewellery hits included the Chopard yellow diamonds that perfectly complemented Eva Green’s Balmain gown, Vicky Krieps’s delicate De Beers headpiece, the striking drop earrings by Indian designer Hanut Singh that Meryl Streep paired with a draped silk Dior Haute Couture gown, and Aubrey Plaza’s exquisite Piaget emeralds.

These dazzling pieces not only highlighted the celebrities’ outfits but also reinforced Cannes as a premier event for showcasing the finest in high jewellery design.
