Cannes Film Festival 2025: The best jewellery on the red carpet
The Cannes Film Festival, held in the French Riviera, is the most prestigious film festival in the world. Which, unsurprisingly, makes it prime viewing for new films—sure—but also the stars and celebrities in the orbit of cinema. The 2025 edition of Cannes is proving just as glamorous on the jewellery front, one area of styling that's perhaps least affected by a newly instituted ban on naked dressing 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.

Dakota Johnson in Diamond Hair Jewelry Is the Breakout Look of Cannes
Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Getty Images Updo? Down-do? Slick-back? How you wear your hair is last year's question. What you wear in it is the opportunity du jour. Dakota Johnson proved as much when she stepped out for the Splitsville photocall at Cannes with a jewel tucked into her braid, immediately upping the accessory game for the entire festival. For the occasion, Johnson wore a simple black dress with a diamond clasp in the back, which perfectly matched the diamonds in her hair: the Avoine head jewel from Boucheron's Untamed Nature collection. It's made of white gold and paved in diamonds, naturally. Johnson also sported the Vendôme Liseré stud earrings and ring, from the Vendôme collection. On Instagram, her hairstylist Mark Townsend revealed that in addition to the jewels, Johnson's hair is secured by Day Rate Beauty pins. Kind of immediately obsessed with the flex of this look. On the surface, it's so simple: literally a little black dress. As other stars duke it out for the most attention-grabbing outfit, Johnson embraces minimalism, opting for natural makeup and unflashy accessories. Nothing to prove, cool girl, etc. Then she turns her head to show off the head jewel, subtly asking the question, 'Did no one else remember to bejewel their hair?' Suddenly everyone else is underdressed and only Johnson is appropriately fancy, kind of like the time Amal Clooney wore gloves to the Golden Globes and for a second everyone was like, Wait, should we all be wearing gloves? No? Should we cause an entire controversy about it? This is, incredibly, Dakota Johnson's first time at Cannes, though she's a regular at other fancy film festivals. When discussing what she expected from the experience, the star told Deadline, 'Somebody told me that people wear gowns and flip-flops and run into hotels…That sounds like something I'd love to do.' And yet, there's nary a gown, a flip, or a flop in sight as Johnson brings a new level of glam to the Croisette. Originally Appeared on Glamour

Style Edit: Boucheron's Untamed Nature, creative director Claire Choisne's latest Histoire de Style collection, celebrates the beauty and variety of plants and insects
For over a century, Boucheron has drawn inspiration from the natural world, but Untamed Nature, the maison's latest Histoire de Style collection, takes this connection to an entirely new level. Under the creative vision of Claire Choisne , the maison revisits its founder Frédéric Boucheron's deep connection to nature – not as something delicate or ornamental, but as something alive, untamed and ever-evolving. Staying true to heritage, the collection is crafted exclusively in white gold and white diamonds, just as Boucheron himself did in the late 19th century. From delicate perennials to resilient wildflowers, each floral piece in Untamed Nature carries meaning – love, loyalty and abundance expressed through shimmering botanical forms. Among the stand-out creations is the Lingonberry necklace, a masterclass in transformable design. Inspired by the hardy Arctic shrub, this intricate piece features diamond-paved leaves on a flexible structure that moulds to the body. Sections of the necklace detach to form cascading brooches, showcasing Boucheron's mastery of movement and balance.

Oat Grass hair jewels offer a contemporary take on adornment, transforming into fibula brooches with spikelets that quiver as if caught in a breeze.

Boucheron's jewellers use computer-aided design to replicate the thistle's spiky structure while ensuring a smooth, wearable fit. Similarly, the Cyclamen earrings feature rose-cut diamonds precisely set to follow the curve of each petal – testament to meticulous craftsmanship.

Boucheron Plays With Bugs
Creepy crawlies never looked so good. In its latest high jewelry outing, titled Untamed Nature, Boucheron has focused on an approach to reinterpreting flora and fauna that began with its founder, Frédéric Boucheron — and the result is strikingly true to life. The 28-piece collection is part of Histoire de Style, a continuing series inspired by Boucheron's archives that the brand presents annually during the Paris haute couture shows in January. Having previously chosen such themes as couture and a reinterpretation of a pair of diamond and aquamarine brooches owned by Queen Elizabeth II, Boucheron's creative director, Claire Choisne, said her dream this time was to 'erase jewelry entirely.' 'I wanted to move away from grandeur and get down to nature in its most humble aspects,' Ms. Choisne said. Working solely with white gold and white diamonds, as Boucheron himself did in the late 19th century, she expanded the house's symbolic herbarium with designs of perennials, weeds, spikelets and reeds, all botanical metaphors for qualities such as love, loyalty, abundance and resilience. Other high jewelry presentations this season have similar themes. Bamboo, an emblem of flexibility, renewal and longevity, was chosen as the name of Chaumet's new collection, to be unveiled in the brand's gilded salons on Place Vendôme this week. And as part of the third installment of Cartier's Nature Sauvage collection, to be presented at the Ritz Paris, the house is showcasing jewels that Zoe Saldaña wore this month when she won the best supporting actress award at the Golden Globes for 'Emilia Pérez.' Called Melis, the Greek word for honey, a parure of earrings and a necklace reprises the house's honeycomb motif; the necklace is set with a honeybee whose body is a briolette-cut 2.64-carat fancy intense yellow diamond. (Other presentations, however, have taken different paths. Dior's new collection focuses on lace-and-floral themes, while the geometry of 18th-century French gardens inspired Elie Top's Les Liaisons Dangereuses collection, celebrating the 10th anniversary of his brand, presented at Christie's Paris.) At Boucheron, pieces inspired by late 19th- and early 20th-century archival designs were revisited to lifelike scale and made using a combination of traditional techniques and new technology to heighten the impression of realism. They include a prickly thistle-leaf necklace and brooch, a hair jewel shaped like a sprig of oat grass and an intricately articulated lingonberry body jewel that can be worn as a necklace or, more daringly, over the shoulder. Some of the jewel's branches also can be detached and worn as brooches. Reprising the house's iconic question mark necklace, invented in 1879, a rose bush — minus the blooms — features three pavé leaves and is anchored by a pear-cut diamond weighing slightly more than six carats, surrounded by baguette and round diamonds. The primary gem can be detached and mounted into a ring, and replaced on the necklace with another droplet in rock crystal and diamonds. A large brooch-slash-hair jewel shaped like a carrot flower, also called Queen Anne's lace, is the sole piece not based on archival references. But Ms. Choisne really seemed to let loose with bugs, which she has rendered true to nature, and also larger than life. Already part of Boucheron's repertoire — the actor Andrew Scott wore a trio of bees from 1948 to the 2024 Met Gala — the new bumblebee is a larger-than-life version with stripes of diamonds and onyx, and translucent wings carved from mother-of-pearl and overlaid by laser-engraved rock crystal edged in black lacquer. On its belly, a runner mechanism makes it possible to transform the piece from a brooch into a two-finger ring. In the same vein, a simple mechanism allows an imposing rhinoceros beetle with lifelike wings that can move to be changed from a brooch to a two-finger ring that spans all four fingers. And with a pinch of its mandibles, a stag beetle fully pavéd in diamonds morphs from a brooch to an imposing knuckle duster. There is also a trio of winged creatures — a honeybee ear clip, a housefly brooch and a ladybug with spread wings — on offer as a set. It is the unpretentious moth, however, that looks the most realistic. A body composed of baguette diamonds is flanked by four wings carved from mother-of-pearl, with hand-engraved veining, black lacquer accents and diamond edging. Describing its velvety finish, Ms. Choisne said, 'It's always a question of how to take the archives and go even further.'
