From Georgina Rodríguez to Hailey Bieber: 9 oval diamond engagement rings we admire
The oval-cut diamond has officially taken over as the engagement ring trend of 2025—and for good reason. A modern hybrid of the classic round brilliant and the elegant marquise cut, the oval diamond offers a flattering elongated shape that makes fingers appear longer while delivering maximum sparkle. From timeless Hollywood romances to recent high-profile proposals, celebrities have long favored this dazzling shape. Whether set in a delicate solitaire, a vintage-inspired halo, or a bold pavé band, the oval cut continues to dominate bridal jewelry trends. Here are the most stunning oval-cut engagement rings worn by celebrities—including the latest A-list sparkler from newly engaged Georgina Rodríguez. Georgina Rodríguez Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has proposed to his longtime partner, Georgina Rodriguez, sharing the joyful news on Instagram. The couple posted a photo holding hands, with Ronaldo captioning it, 'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.' Rodriguez flaunted a dazzling oval-cut diamond ring, estimated at 20-25 carats, with a flawless cut. The pair, together since 2016, have now taken their love story to the next level, delighting fans worldwide. Salama Mohamed The Dubai-based influencer and entrepreneur surprised fans with her engagement announcement, sharing a single, breathtaking photo of her hand resting on her mystery fiancé's, adorned with an oval diamond ring. While details about the ring are still under wraps, its brilliant-cut oval center stone appears to be set on a diamond band, making it an effortlessly chic choice. Hailey Bieber When Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey in 2018, he chose a 6-10 carat oval diamond solitaire set on a yellow gold band—her favorite metal. The ring's clean, minimalist design lets the diamond take center stage, proving that sometimes, less really is more. Kourtney Kardashian Travis Barker went all out for his beachfront proposal to Kourtney Kardashian, presenting her with a 10-12 carat oval diamond featuring a hidden halo and a pavé diamond band. The ring's delicate details and substantial carat weight make it a true showstopper. Blake Lively One of the most iconic oval engagement rings belongs to Blake Lively, who married Ryan Reynolds in 2012. Designed by Lorraine Schwartz, her rose gold oval-cut diamond ring features a light pink hue that complements the warm metal. Paired with a micropavé wedding band, this ring is the epitome of romantic elegance.

Katie Holmes Tom Cruise chose a 5-carat oval diamond with a halo and split shank for Katie Holmes, designed by Fred Leighton. The additional 6 carats of diamonds in the setting make this ring a glamorous vintage dream. Jennifer Aniston Though not a traditional oval cut, Jennifer Aniston's rare 10-carat rose-cut oval diamond (from her engagement to Justin Theroux) deserves a spot on this list. The flat, antique-style stone is a breathtaking vintage statement. Simone Biles Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles received a 3-carat oval diamond from NFL player Jonathan Owens in 2022. The ring features an F-color, VVS2 clarity stone in a three-row pavé setting, ensuring sparkle from every angle. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Instagram & Feature Image: Pinterest
