Best Watches and Jewellery Moments From the 2025 Met Gala
Blinding lights
As expected, the first Monday in May brought a high-wattage glitz and glamour as fashion’s finest ascended the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in show-stopping numbers. The latest edition of the Met Gala saw designers and their muses take on the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ with the boldness of a cultural revolution. The stunning couture was only surpassed by the spectacular carats cascading down the ensembles.
Neck-breaking necklaces were inarguably the go-tos for many of the A-listers. Rosé of Blackpink, for starters, showed up on the blue carpet in a high jewellery necklace by Tiffany & Co. Crafted in platinum and 18K gold, the piece features a 14-carat cushion-cut sapphire pendant. Quantico star Priyanka Chopra similarly made a head-turning appearance with a colossal emerald necklace from Bvlgari’s latest high jewellery collection, Polychroma.
Dua Lipa, on the other hand, opted for something a little less chunky and a little more contemporary. The layers of diamonds that graced her décolletage, plucked from Chanel’s high jewellery collection, were among the standouts that night. Sharing the same vision as the singer was top model and reality TV star Kendall Jenner, who paired her plunging skirt suit with a multi-strand diamond necklace by Chopard.
Statement timepieces were also a big hit this year. A playful mix of artistry and timekeeping unfolded as attendees got imaginative with their watches. Singer-slash-actress Janelle Monáe and internet personality Khabane Lame led the charge with their spunky stylings. While the former sported a monocle watch and the Vacheron Constantin Fifty Six, the latter slipped into a waistcoat embellished with vintage pocket watches.
Turning up with an equally strong wrist game was Maluma. Embracing the extravagance of the event, the singer selected Jacob & Co.’s Billionaire III Emeralds watch, which combines high-end watchmaking with hypnotic gem-setting. Another winning piece was spotted on Stranger Things actor Caleb McLaughlin, who went with the Zenith Defy Skyline Sapphire. Jeremy Allen White, conversely, made a case for the classics with the Reverso watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
