Met Gala 2023: The most beautiful jewellery and timepieces on the red carpet

The Met Gala 2023 has come and gone, but we are still not over the spectacular extravaganza. The A-listers nailed the theme—Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty—from head to toe with an array of outfits honouring the late fashion giant’s legacy. In a similar vein, we were captivated by how stunning the jewellery and watches donned by these celebrities as they walked up the massive steps of the Met Museum. 

While the pride of our nation, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh sported a Richard Mille watch, Serena Williams had a pearl moment, and Florence Pugh finished off her chic ensemble with Tiffany and Co. jewels. Along with that, this year’s Met Gala co-chair Roger Federer looked suave in his brand-new Rolex, while Simu Liu looked sharp with a Vacheron Constantin timepiece. Read on to learn some of our top picks of jewellery and timepiece moments from the opulent affair.

Gu has been an extension of the IWC Schaffhausen family since 2021, so it was only fitting that the two-time Olympic gold medallist wore a rose gold IWC Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34 watch that complemented her Robert Wun ‘wine stain’ gown.
