The best celeb engagement rings of 2025: Selena Gomez, Zendaya
Selena Gomez can't stop, won't stop showing off her engagement ring. Since record producer Benny Blanco proposed to Gomez in December, the 32-year-old actress has shared a flurry of Instagram pics of the big rock on her finger: an elongated marquise sparkler, set on a diamond-studded eternity band. 'I've just dreamed of this moment my whole life,' she wrote. Indeed, in her 2015 song 'Good for You,' Gomez compared herself to a marquise diamond, a rare, unconventional cut with pointed ends that originated in the 18th-century French court of Versailles. (It was reportedly named after Louis XV's mistress, La Marquise de Pompadour, and modeled after the shape of her lips. Ooh la la.) 5 Getty Images; Courtesy of London Jewelers 'It's definitely a style for somebody who wants to be a little different or avant-garde,' Vice President of London Jewelers Scott Udell tells ALEXA. 'It's for somebody who wants to stand out, or at least to not have a shape that you see on everybody.' Gomez is not alone. It seems that these days, everyone wants to stand out. Forget the demure stones and subtle designs that characterized the restrained COVID era. Quiet luxury is over. The 'boom boom' aesthetic is in: slick business suits, towering bouffants, flamboyant furs and diamonds as big as the Ritz. 'I'm starting to see these retro styles that were popular in the 1980s and '90s come back,' Udell says. In terms of engagement rings, that means marquise cuts, pear shapes, bold yellow-gold bands and a general more-is-more ethos. 'These styles were phased out for a while, but they're now being rejuvenated.' 5 Getty Images; Courtesy of London Jewelers Take Adele's enormous pear-shaped stunner from sports agent Rich Paul — an ostentatiously old-fashioned cut that matches the 36-year-old diva's powerhouse voice and classic style. 'I think it's stunning,' Udell says of the ring, adding that the slim platinum band gives the 1980s staple a modern twist. 'I love the super thin band that the diamond kind of floats on. It really lets it pop.' 5 Getty Images; Courtesy of London Jewelers Lady Gaga debuted a similarly over-the-top engagement ring at the Venice Film Festival this past September. Though the 39-year-old performer and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, went for something utterly original. Designed by Sofia Jewelry, it features a brilliant oval set on an 18-karat white-and-rose-gold diamond pavé band, which is then adorned with natural pink ombré diamonds. There's even a hidden white-diamond halo under the center stone, in case anyone thought there wasn't enough sparkle. 5 Getty Images; Courtesy of London Jewelers 'Challengers' and 'Dune' actress Zendaya also chose a cushioned oval diamond for her engagement ring to 'Spider-Man' co-star Tom Holland. Yet, the 28-year-old fashion plate is known for doing things her own way. The Georgian-style cut-down setting — in which a layer of metal surrounds the stone — has a vintage feel. And instead of a vertical diamond, the stone has an east-west setting, said to symbolize an equal relationship with both partners working alongside one another as a team. 'It's both antique and modern,' Udell says. It's the perfect ring for a woman who wears the most cutting-edge couture and classic vintage styles with equal elegance and aplomb. 5 Getty Images; Courtesy of London Jewelers Like Zendaya, actress Emma Roberts also unveiled a vintage-inspired engagement ring. Hers (bestowed by actor Cody John), features a round, European-cut diamond with — like Zendaya's ring — a thicker gold band. While thinner bands are still a more popular way to show off a big stone, Udell says he's seen more brides recently gravitate toward heftier bands to balance out round stones and add texture and depth. 'If it's done to scale properly, it can look really nice and elegant,' he says. 'And it can withstand a lot of wear and tear, and that's the whole point. You gotta design something that you can wear day to day.'

Zendaya's All-White Met Gala Look Could Be A Cheeky Wink At Her Engagement
Zendaya and stylist Law Roach are synonymous with breathtaking red-carpet moments, and the Met Gala has been no exception, with the two repeatedly delivering striking looks at the coveted fashion event year after year. But after Roach recently said the pair were 'doing their own thing this year' and would be attending 'separately,' it appears the actor still didn't miss a beat even without her longtime creative director at her hip. On Monday, Zendaya hit the red carpet at the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City donning a chic cream suit and matching hat. While it's unclear whether Roach styled her outfit, the 'Euphoria' star clearly nailed this year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, praised the 'Challengers' actor over her dapper ensemble.

The seasoned fashionista appeared on the red carpet sans her fiancé, Tom Holland, who has never attended the Met Gala before. Though the two didn't attend together, eagle-eyed fans noticed that she showed up sporting the engagement ring he gave her, making her all-white outfit a possible cheeky nod to her being a bride-to-be. The Marvel star notably had a heartwarming reason for his absence. Holland told Men's Health back in January that he avoids walking the red carpet with Zendaya, with the exception of her premieres, 'because it's not my moment, it's her moment, and if we go together, it's about us.'

Luca Guadagnino's DC movie Sgt. Rock ‘cancelled'
Luca Guadagnino's DC film 'Sgt. Rock' has reportedly been shelved. The 53-year-old director had been working on the comic book movie with his 'Challengers' and 'Queer' collaborator Justin Kuritzkes, though TheWrap has now claimed the project is no longer going ahead at DC Studios. The outlet reports 'Sgt. Rock's cancellation was due to its scheduling, with the film seemingly needing to have started production this summer in the UK due to its reliance on exterior shoots - though the movie is said to have not been able to make the deadline. TheWrap added 'Sgt. Rock's budget - which was reportedly set at under $70 million - was likely not an issue and did not factor into its supposed cancellation. While both TheWrap and The Hollywood Reporter claim 'Sgt. Rock' has been shelved, Deadline has said the movie's pre-production has simply halted, with principal photography now aiming to start next summer. In the original comics, the titular Sgt. Rock is a World War II soldier and battlefield hero. The character has been the subject of multiple failed movie adaptations, with Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger previously linked to the role. Daniel Craig was initially attached to reunite with his 'Queer' director and portray the titular character in 'Sgt. Rock', though was said to have exited the project in February. Then, Colin Farrell reportedly entered talks to take the lead role, even though the actor is already a part of the DC cinematic universe, with him playing The Penguin in Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' and the eponymous HBO spin-off show. While 'Sgt. Rock' is possibly no longer happening, Guadagnino is still working on a new 'American Psycho' movie - with the filmmaker recently teasing 'the script is coming out very handsomely' for the flick. Appearing in a video segment at CinemaCon earlier this month, Guadagnino said: 'We are really working hard to bring to the screen a new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' 'American Psycho', a book that I deeply love that is something that influenced me so much. '[Writer Scott Z. Burns] is doing an incredible job. The script is coming out very handsomely.' Although Guadagnino didn't reveal any of the cast for his 'American Psycho' movie, the director teased he was currently in 'conversation with very exciting performers to play the leads'. Last December, it was reported Austin Butler would play Patrick Bateman in 'American Psycho' - a role previously held by Christian Bale in the 2000 film adaptation. The new film won't be a direct remake of the 2000 movie, with Guadagnino's version poised to be a new take on the story that will have a more significant erotic emphasis than the original picture. Lionsgate film chief Adam Fogelson previously described the director as the 'perfect visionary' to helm the new cinematic iteration of 'American Psycho'. He said in a statement: 'We are thrilled to add another elite filmmaker to our upcoming slate. Luca is a brilliant artist, and the perfect visionary to create a whole new interpretation of this potent and classic IP.'
