Tom Cruise Receives Honorary Oscar at 16th Governors Award
The star-studded evening celebrated cinematic excellence with standout jewels on the red carpet, from Sabyasachi Exclusive studs to rare JAR diamonds; dazzling Cartier and Chopard creations.
Hollywood icon Tom Cruise was honoured with the Academy Honorary Award at the 16th Governors Awards, held at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood, California. Award was presented by filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu—who is collaborating with Cruise on an upcoming 2026 release—the award recognized Cruise’s exceptional contributions to cinema. In his acceptance speech, the superstar reflected on his lifelong passion for films and storytelling.
Upon taking the stage, Tom paid heartfelt tribute to the people who make movies possible and reflected on the unifying force of cinema across cultures.
Tom said “The cinema, it takes me around the world,” he said. “It helps me appreciate and respect differences. It shows me our shared humanity—how alike we are in so, so many ways. And no matter where we come from, in that theater, we laugh together, we feel together, we hope together. That is the power of this art form. And that is why it matters. Making films is not what I do, it is who I am.”
A four-time Oscar nominee, Tom has been recognized for Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, Magnolia, and as a producer of Top Gun: Maverick. His honorary award was one of several celebrated that evening. Cynthia Erivo saluted Debbie Allen for her groundbreaking choreography and acting legacy, Wynn Thomas was honored for his visionary production design, and Dolly Parton appeared via a pre-taped message to accept the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her lifelong commitment to philanthropy.
While the evening’s fashion leaned toward understated elegance, the jewellery on the red carpet brought unforgettable sparkle. Here are the stars of Hollywood and their exceptional red carpet look for the award show:
Jennifer Lawrence made headlines in vintage JAR diamond ear clips from 1987, featuring frost-like branches set with pear-shaped and round diamonds. The rare earrings will soon head to auction at Sotheby’s with an estimated reserve of $300,000 to $500,000.
Andra Day dazzled in over $1.3 million worth of Cartier high jewellery, including a diamond Panthère cuff, chrysoprase-onyx earrings, and an emerald-studded necklace from Le Voyage Recommencé.
Gwyneth Paltrow opted for New York designer Juju Vera’s sculptural beaded drop earrings, while Cynthia Erivo paired her dramatic Givenchy coat with diamond hoops by Messika.
Rose Byrne embraced Indian craftsmanship in Sabyasachi pearl-and-diamond studs.
Jennifer Lopez showcased Chopard haute joaillerie—most notably, stunning 18K gold earrings featuring 42.82 carats of cultured pearls and 32.58 carats of diamonds, along with a 9.87-carat diamond ring.
Tessa Thompson made a striking appearance in a curated selection of Jean Schlumberger creations for Tiffany & Co. She wore a dazzling necklace crafted in yellow gold, platinum, and diamonds, paired with Tiffany Flame ear clips in 18K yellow gold set with sparkling diamonds, completing her elegant and radiant red-carpet look.
Together, these standout red-carpet moments proved once again that jewellery remains one of Hollywood’s most powerful storytelling elements—elevating style, honouring craftsmanship, and capturing the magic of cinema’s brightest night.
For decades, Indian jewellery advertising revolved around brides, tradition, and heirloom glamour. But the narrative is shifting — fast. The global men’s jewellery market, valued at $48.5 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $75.9 billion by 2034, fuelled by cultural evolution, celebrity influence, and the rise of jewellery as personal expression.
In India and the Asia-Pacific region, this trend is even more pronounced. Urban, fashion-forward consumers with growing spending power are embracing jewellery as an extension of identity. As a result, men’s jewellery is no longer a niche — it is becoming one of the most dynamic creative spaces in advertising today.
Brands are moving beyond selling accessories; they are reshaping modern masculinity, crafting fresh visual stories, and redefining aspiration. Jewellery is no longer static — it is identity, narrative, and performance. And as men’s jewellery becomes more expressive and fluid, creativity becomes the ultimate differentiator.
Here are some standout brands and celebrities redefining the men’s jewellery movement:
Allu Sirish Makes a Statement with Kishandas Jewellery
Actor Allu Sirish, accompanied by fiancée Nayanika, wore a striking choker by Kishandas Jewellery during their engagement.
The choice reflects a growing acceptance of ornate, expressive pieces for men on special occasions.
A bold move — and a beautiful nod to heritage craftsmanship.

Regal charm meets heritage craftsmanship as Lakshya Lalwani brings alive Tyaani’s signature Polki elegance. The campaign, curated by Tyaani by Karan Johar, showcases a modern yet royal interpretation of uncut diamonds — a fresh take on masculine luxury.
MEN’S EDIT: THE POWER OF BRILLIANCE — Fiona Diamonds

Their men’s line offers bracelets, chains, rings, earrings, and LGD creations that blend strength, individuality, and subtle elegance.

Mohanlal x Vinsmera — Breaking Stereotypes, Embracing Fluidity
Superstar Mohanlal, the face of Vinsmera, captures the brand’s vision of evolving jewellery culture beyond boundaries.
In the campaign, he gracefully wears traditionally women’s jewellery, normalising the idea that adornment has no gender.
Vinsmera’s entry into India focuses on diversity, inclusivity, and a bold reimagining of men’s jewellery.
Men’s Jewellery: Not Just an Accessory, but a Movement
From Polki chokers to diamond links, from gender-fluid styling to modern silver edits — men’s jewellery is evolving into an aspirational, expressive category with limitless creative potential.
And as this space grows, each campaign becomes an opportunity to rewrite not just style — but perception.
