Cannes Film Festival 2025: The best jewellery on the red carpet
Some of the most spectacular, standout jewels are, unsurprisingly, creations by Chopard, which has been an official partner of the Cannes Film Festival since 1998. French actress Pom Klementieff had on a pair of incredible Chopard haute joaillerie pink kunzite briolette earrings to the première of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning . At the red carpet for Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme , Eva Longoria with 479 carats of kunzite briolettes on her neck courtesy of a design from Chopard's (aptly named) Red Carpet collection, and model Alex Consani wearing over 21 carats of the house's new Insofu emeralds.
And, of course, brand ambassador Bella Hadid—always one to watch at Cannes—drew eyes on the festival's opening night in a pair of positively massive earrings set with a pair of emeralds weighing 118.68 carats in total.
Some other standout jewellers and maisons on the red carpet so far: Boucheron, which is finding fabulous occasion for a number of its Untamed Nature high jewellery pieces, and which seems to have lit up Cannes with its fabulous Question Mark necklaces. Pomellato, meanwhile, previewed some pieces from its upcoming new high jewellery line, set to debut in June in Milan, on brand ambassador Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu.

Studded bags are back on the fashion radar—here's how to style them
Quiet luxury may still be a lingering trend, but this season, fashion is craving something with bite. Enter: the studded bag. Once tied to rock concerts and boho festivals, it's now making its return in full swing. No longer the domain of fringe jackets and smoky eyeliner, the 2025 studded bag is maximalist, structured and surprisingly versatile. From Valentino's suede Nellcôte crossbody—embellished with oversized gold studs—to Khaite's pared-back Elena shoulder bag, designers are proving that hardware can be both bold and polished. Bella Hadid stuns in a plunging black long-sleeve bodysuit and cream pants, perfectly accessorised with Valentino Garavani's studded Nellcôte bag—a sleek mix of edgy hardware and refined elegance. Getty The studded bag trend started gaining serious momentum this summer, and it shows no sign of fading. Thanks to its structured shapes and tactile hardware, it's perfectly suited to be carried seamlessly from the warmer months into fall and winter. Fashion's most-watched names are taking note as well. Bella Hadid has been seen slinging hers over cargo pants and vintage baby tees, while Alexa Chung brings her signature polish to the trend—styling hers with a blue button-down, brown leather jacket and relaxed jeans. Even Dua Lipa has been spotted pairing studded minis with Y2K slip dresses—turning a once-grungy staple into a glossy, street style essential. Alexa Chung elevates the studded bag trend, styling hers with a blue button-down, brown leather jacket, relaxed jeans, and chic black mules. Getty The trend's appeal lies in its duality. On one end, it taps into fashion's nostalgia-fuelled obsession with all things Y2K and indie. On the other, it fits perfectly into today's appetite for individuality and punchy accessorising. They're detailed enough to make a statement, yet timeless enough to wear on repeat. Dua Lipa turns heads with a studded mini bag, perfectly complementing her Y2K-inspired slip dress for a modern take on nostalgic glamour. @dualipa To style, balance the bag's edgy hardware with soft, feminine fabrics like silk or cashmere, or use it to elevate everything from tailored blazers and floaty summer dresses. An effortless way to interject personality into any outfit, it's a statement piece that demands attention without overwhelming.

Director Eric Khoo at 60: ‘I want to help the next wave of film-makers find their voice'
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Film-maker Eric Khoo put Singapore on the international film map in 1995 with his debut feature Mee Pok Man. SINGAPORE – Film aficionados will agree that local director and screenwriter Eric Khoo single-handedly put modern Singapore cinema on the international map with his seminal drama Mee Pok Man (1995), followed by another classic, 12 Storeys (1997). Both movies – the first about a noodle seller and his fascination with a disillusioned prostitute, and the latter a social commentary about a group of ordinary Singaporeans living in the same HDB block – blazed a trail, being screened at more than 60 film festivals worldwide. Khoo did Singapore proud when 12 Storeys became the first made-in-Singapore film to officially participate in the Cannes Film Festival in 1997, thanks to its nomination in the Un Certain Regard section. Through the years, he continued to garner attention and awards at the prestigious event. His works Be With Me, an anthology about love and solitude, opened the Directors' Fortnight sidebar in 2005; and My Magic, a drama about a single father, was selected to compete for the top Palme d'Or award in 2008. For his contributions to the local film industry, Khoo was conferred the Cultural Medallion for Film in 2007. The auteur is celebrating Singapore's 60th birthday with Kopitiam Days, an anthology of six short films revolving around a kopitiam that unveils the interwoven stories of strangers who find solace, love and connection within the country's social fabric. Khoo serves as the executive producer and creative director of the project that showcases six rising writer-directors: Yeo Siew Hua, Shoki Lin, M. Raihan Halim, Tan Siyou, Don Aravind and Ong Kuo Sin. It is jointly produced by Khoo's company Zhao Wei Films , as well as Akanga Film Asia and Clover Films. Kopitiam Days held its world premiere at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, on Aug 5 with President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and his wife, Ms Jane Ittogi, as the guests of honour. Special screenings of the film are slated to be held at community hubs and centres across Singapore. Khoo, who turned 60 on March 27, is married with four sons – Edward, 31, a director; James, 29, and Christopher, 28, both producers; and Lucas, 26, a master's student at Dartmouth university in the US. What is your core memory of Singapore? The relentless heat, punishing humidity and nasty mosquitoes. But this tiny island also has a culinary scene as vibrant as its people. Meals are often mouthwatering experiences, thanks to generations of diverse cultures cooking side by side. What do you consider your biggest contribution to Singapore? Directing Mee Pok Man 30 years ago with a fantastic team. The film didn't just mark a milestone, it kick-started Singapore's modern cinema. Later, co-writing the white paper with a couple of my mates in 1997 led to the birth of the Singapore Film Commission, fuelling the rise of a new generation of talented home-grown film-makers. What do you love or hate about the country? I love the food, but hate the heat. I often wish we have four seasons: Imagine savouring my favourite wonton mee at Tanglin Halt or digging into Samy's Curry at Dempsey while snowflakes gently drift outside. It will be a true heaven for foodies. What is the one thing you miss about the Singapore of your childhood? Singaporean film-maker Eric Khoo at two years old. PHOTO: COURTESY OF ERIC KHOO Grabbing tasty bites from pushcart hawkers under five-foot-ways ; catching blockbusters that played for months in grand 1,000-seat cinemas, such as Bruce Lee's The Big Boss (1971) at Majestic Theatre; tuning into (cable-transmitted radio service) Rediffusion; and hunting for Action Man figures at that sacred toy shop, The Orchard Store. What is the best and worst thing about turning 60? These days, I've ditched dull, drawn-out films you watch only when you're ironing. There's just too much to do and not enough hours in the day. Life feels more exciting, and I'm more energised than ever. SG60's theme is Building Our Singapore Together. What would you like the Singapore of the future to look like? I wish my favourite Hainanese curry rice and Peranakan mee siam will stay just as delicious in the decades to come. (Singapore's first prime minister) Lee Kuan Yew once considered air-conditioning as one of the most important inventions ever, so I fantasise that we will become an air-conditioned city which is blissfully mosquito-free. Maybe I'm dreaming, but what matters most is that we keep loving, creating and savouring life together. I can't be prouder of our new SG60 film Kopitiam Days, a heartfelt tribute to our homeland, our community and, of course, those perfect soft-boiled eggs. (From left) Eric Khoo with Kopitiam Days directors Tan Siyou, Don Aravind, Shoki Lin, M. Raihan Halim, Ong Kuo Sin and Yeo Siew Hua. PHOTO: CLOVER FILMS And what does your next era look like? I don't have a crystal ball, but my greatest passion is film. I want to keep creating and help the next wave of film-makers find their voice. None of this would have happened without my late mother, who introduced me to the magic of cinema. May she keep smiling at me and guiding me from heaven.

High jewellery encounters Singapore's cultural heritage
Emily, that famed matriarch of Emerald Hill, is one of Singapore's great literary and stage icons. The Stella Kon play has been staged many times, and is an iconic expression of Peranakan culture and identity. An indelible part of the nyonya expression is the sarong kebaya, a style of clothing that conjures a sense of heritage and tradition. Here, a sarong kebaya created by Raymond Wong, the designer at Rumah Kim Choo who also contributed bespoke costumes for this year's hit television series Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story. That series features, as it happens, the dual cover stars of Vogue Singapore's 'Home' issue: television legend Zoe Tay, and ingenue of the moment Tasha Low. This costume was commissioned by Ivan Heng, a luminary of Singapore theatre, who has stepped into the beaded shoes of the play's titular Emily Gan over 100 times. Its meanings are subtly coded: peony and phoenix motifs, as well as a vibrant palette, that allude to rebirth and blossoming in spring. Sarong kebaya costume by Raymond Wong. Cotton, batik; 2019; Singapore. Collection of the Peranakan Museum, gift of Ivan Heng, founder and artistic director of Wild Rice and Cultural Medallion 2013 honouree. Courtesy of the Peranakan Museum The Parisian jeweller Frédéric Boucheron was a maverick in his time. While his contemporaries thought of jewels as standalone objects, he was thinking of them as part of a complete stylistic message. Hence his invention in 1879 of the Question Mark necklace, a liberated jewel without a clasp that could be worn without assistance. That expression and philosophy evolved by 1883 into peacock feather, or plume de paon , designs that aimed to evoke the fluttery lightness of its inspiration. Most recently, the house's creative director Claire Choisne has taken the feather motif and given it brilliant chromatic life, by fusing white gold with coloured titanium to give her peacock feathers even more nuanced gradations of colour. Boucheron Plume de Paon earrings. Titanium, white gold, white diamonds, brown diamonds, tanzanites, sapphires, tsavorites; 21st century; Paris, France. Ching Lee Function and flair Traditional Peranakan terrace houses tend to feature pintu pagar , a Baba Malay term for which the literal English translation is 'fence door'. Constructed at half height, these doors are meant to provide ventilation, as well as a little privacy and security during the day when they are left open. This one from the Asian Civilisations Museum's collection is a rare and unusually ornate example. Fine carving and gilt work are present on both sides, as opposed to the usual one, and it features an eclectic mix of Chinese and European motifs—a symbol of status, displayed to visitors, for what was perhaps a wealthy Peranakan family. Outer gates (pintu pagar). Teak, gilt paint, glass; late 19th to early 20th centuries; Singapore. Collection of the Asian Civilisations Museum. Courtesy of the Asian Civilisations Museum Van Cleef & Arpels is deeply feminine and romantic, but some of its most inventive and enduring creations were born out of functional, industrial advances. In 1934, amid burgeoning serialised production and the Bauhaus school's design philosophy of replicability, the Parisian maison embarked on a creative quest. It designed the Ludo (a nickname of Louis Arpels), inspired ostensibly by the wraparound function of a belt, with a supple, new-at-the-time gold mesh technique. It has endured as a Van Cleef & Arpels signature, taking on stylistic evolutions in keeping with its time. This modern example is crafted with classic details: hexagonal briquette links, star-set round rubies and a functional twisting jewelled clasp. Van Cleef & Arpels Ludo bracelet. Rose gold, rubies, diamonds, coral; 21st century; Paris, France. Ching Lee Artistic roads Tiles are one of the more unassuming but vibrant expressions of a culture's artistic heritage. Geometric motifs, for instance, are one of the core modes of artistic expression in the Islamic world. Some scholars posit that the repeatable infinity of geometric designs connects with the infinite nature of the divine. Twelve-pointed stars, arabesques and diamond-shaped motifs, which feature on these tiles, are elements of this rich visual canon which has had a wide and lasting influence. Pair of geometric tiles.

Courtesy of the Asian Civilisations Museum The simplest of design motifs has also a way of travelling across cultures, escaping boundaries and finding its way into artistic heritages the world over. Rosettes, which are a graphical representation of the leaves of a flower, can be found as far back as ancient Mesopotamia. This motif travelled and was adopted in Renaissance Italy, where it featured as a decorative architectural element. The Milanese jeweller Buccellati, which has an abiding love for Renaissance-era craftsmanship and an ornate, old-world look, uses these in many of its designs. In these Tulle watches, the rosette compositions on the dial, as well as the articulated bracelets, are filled with coloured enamel for a stained-glass effect. Buccellati Tulle watches. White gold, diamonds, enamel; 21st century; Milan, Italy. Ching Lee Summer Splendour The auspicious, blooming colours and motifs of flora and fauna on this circa 1920s beaded tablecloth are thought to be part of the 'spring table' of a Peranakan wedding chamber. Crafted so that it can be appreciated from all sides, the designs draw inspiration and influence from the colours and compositions of Chinese embroidery as well as bird and flower elements from Europe. It is crafted with over a million glass beads, some of them faceted, and said to be one of the largest and most important pieces of Peranakan beadwork in existence. Table cover.

Courtesy of the Asian Civilisations Museum Cartier's Anansi necklace is named after a trickster deity from African folklore who is often portrayed as a spider. This creation comes from the Parisian jeweller's [Sur]naturel high jewellery collection, which is themed around creative abstractions of nature. It is set with a rare sequence of eight hexagonal peridots, composed with fine diamond and platinum lines and faceted peridot beads to resemble light glistening off a spider's web—perhaps after a summer rain. Cartier Anansi earrings and necklace. Platinum, peridots, diamonds; 21st century; Paris, France. Ching Lee Treasures of the old world One of the more remarkable qualities of jewellery, viewed historically, is that it lasts. Metal and stones are hardy materials, and surviving jewels can tell us a lot about the tastes and styles of a different time. That much is obvious in this magnificent 1900s jewelled peacock belt, one of the Peranakan Museum's prized artefacts. It is made of 18 linked panels of gold, set with a central diamond weighing over five carats. Each of these panels features peacock designs, decorated with white, yellow, brown and orange-pink diamonds. Peacock belt. Gold, diamonds; early 20th century; Singapore or Straits Settlements. Collection of the Peranakan Museum, Peacock belt, gift of Edmond Chin. Courtesy of the Peranakan Museum Tiffany & Co. is relishing the legacy of Jean Schlumberger, the talented midcentury designer whose works for the New York jeweller helped advance and define a modern look of jewellery. With time, Schlumberger's design codes have acquired the lustrous patina of an older, rarer and more refined world. Glamour, after all, is often more tantalising when it's just out of reach. The Fringe necklace, based on a celebrated 1956 design, references Schlumberger's origins in a family of Alsatian textile merchants. Each 'fringe' of hand-twisted gold rope is articulated, and dotted with diamonds set on platinum so it looks as though they are floating. The paillonné enamel Croisillon bracelet, first introduced in 1962, is meanwhile one of the jewellery world's icons of design history. The ancient technique of enamelling is enhanced with sheets of gold foil, laid in layers, to create colours that are deep, vibrant and luminous. Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co.
