The Met Gala 2025 dazzled once again, with natural diamonds taking center stage as symbols of heritage, elegance, and individuality. Aligned with this year’s theme, Tailored for You, and the exhibit Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, the red carpet became a celebration of self-expression through couture and craftsmanship — elevated by timeless diamond artistry. From heirloom inspirations to bold, modern creations, the night shimmered with history, sentiment, and star power. Here’s how some of the most talked-about names lit up the Met steps with brilliance and intention.

Priyanka Chopra in Bvlgari

At the heart of Priyanka Chopra’s old Hollywood-inspired look was a show-stopping Bvlgari necklace, crafted with natural diamonds and the 241-carat Magnus Emerald — the largest emerald ever set by the maison. The high jewellery piece debuted from Bvlgari’s Polychroma collection, celebrating colour and expert craftsmanship. Paired with a classic, vintage-style ensemble, Chopra’s look radiated opulence and elegance.

Nick Jonas complemented her in a custom-tailored ensemble, exuding refined sophistication. Together, the couple delivered a cinematic tribute to timeless glamour.

Shah Rukh Khan in Sabyasachi Fine Jewellery

The King of Bollywood made a quiet yet powerful statement in Sabyasachi Fine Jewellery. His look, called the Dandy Stack, featured 18k gold pieces set with old mine cut and brilliant cut natural diamonds. A diamond star brooch pinned to his lapel completed the ensemble — subtle, yet striking in its storytelling.

Diljit Dosanjh in Golecha Jewels

Diljit Dosanjh embodied regal elegance in a look inspired by royal Indian heritage. The centrepiece: a multi-layered real diamond necklace by Golecha Jewels, echoing the grandeur of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh’s iconic Patiala necklace by Cartier. A jewelled turban adorned with a bold brooch sealed his presence in true princely style.

Kiara Advani in Kantilal Chhotalal

Kiara Advani made history as the first Indian actor to attend the Met Gala while expecting — and did so with strength, grace, and radiant style. Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, she wore a sculptural custom gown by Gaurav Gupta, featuring a breastplate adorned with ghungroos and crystals.

Her jewellery — by Kantilal Chhotalal — included a 17-carat pear-shaped diamond piece and 5-carat heart-shaped diamond earrings. Additional accessories by Outhouse Jewellery and WrapGame India, including gold rings and a dramatic ear cuff, added to the bold yet emotive look. The ensemble was a moving tribute to motherhood, tradition, and modern femininity.

Isha M. Ambani in Her Personal Collection

Isha M. Ambani brought legacy and sentiment to the Met Gala in a necklace of over 481 carats of diamonds from her personal collection. The piece was inspired by Cartier’s famed Toussaint Necklace, as seen in Ocean’s 8, and reflected timeless elegance and familial heritage.

The jewellery, drawn from Nita Ambani’s collection, was paired with rings by Tiffany & Co. and exquisite hair jewels by Moi Vibe. Her ethereal ensemble — rich in gems, pearls, and ornate embellishments — seamlessly blended traditional artistry with modern couture, telling a deeply personal story of grace, strength, and quiet power.

As the cameras flashed and the world watched, the Met Gala 2025 became more than a parade of couture — it was a masterclass in storytelling through sparkle. From ancestral tributes to bold declarations of identity, natural diamonds weren’t just worn; they were lived in, loved, and layered with meaning. Each look wasn’t merely styled — it was sculpted, a blend of craftsmanship and character.

In a night that fused fashion, heritage, and heart, one thing was clear: trends may come and go, but the allure of natural diamonds — eternal, expressive, and deeply personal — remains forever en vogue.

Chaumet Takes Bold Step Toward Full Gold Traceability in Jewellery Collections

In a landmark move toward ethical luxury, Chaumet has announced its commitment to 100% gold traceability across all its jewellery collections, beginning in 2025. This initiative will debut with the launch of a new Bee de Chaumet pendant, crafted entirely from responsibly sourced, traceable gold.

With a legacy spanning over 240 years, Chaumet has long drawn creative inspiration from nature—an ethos now deeply embedded in its sustainability journey. As part of the LIFE 360 programme led by parent group LVMH, the Maison is strengthening its environmental and social responsibility efforts, reflecting a broader commitment to nature conservation and ethical craftsmanship.

A member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) and supporter of the Kimberley Process, Chaumet has also joined the Swiss Better Gold Association (SBGA), which champions sustainable development in artisanal mining communities.

The upcoming Bee de Chaumet pendant, adorned with the brand’s iconic bee motif, symbolizes this ethical shift. Every component—from the pendant and chain to clasps and rings—is made from gold that is 100% traceable and sourced through verified, responsible channels.

While not claiming to transform the mining industry overnight, Chaumet’s initiative marks a significant step in promoting transparency and integrity across the jewellery value chain—setting a high standard for the future of sustainable luxury.
