Diamonds are always in, creating iconic moments for those who wear them – with celebrities and stylists serving inspiration we can’t help but be enamoured by. One week it’s a showstopping red-carpet ensemble. The next, it’s a celebrity press tour look that gets referenced and remembered just as much as the film they’re promoting.
This year, natural diamonds are making an appearance everywhere from awards ceremonies and premieres to half time shows and all the moments in between. Whether they are worn as a statement or as a touch of subtle elegance, celebrity diamond jewellery is always worn with intention; by someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.
The following moments highlight exactly the kind of diamond dressing we can get on board with. The looks that cut through the noise, spark conversation and resonate long after the photos stop circulating.
Isha Ambani at the Met Gala and Paris Fashion Week
In 2026, the global style dictionary is being rewritten by boundary-pushing, jaw-dropping statements where high fashion perfectly marries heritage — and the result is pure sparkle. Nowhere was this more obvious than at this year’s Met Gala, where Isha Ambani turned natural diamond styling into actual art. She walked the steps in a custom Gaurav Gupta sari paired with a jewellery-integrated blouse set with over 1,800 carats of diamonds and gemstones, drawn from her mother Nita Ambani’s heirloom collection. It was a masterclass in honouring cultural legacy on a global stage.
Fast forward to Paris Haute Couture Week, where she sat front row at Rahul Mishra’s show. While her structured, sculptural silver-grey gown was a vision in itself, it was her choice of accessories that set the internet on fire. Alongside over 100 carats of custom Lorraine Schwartz white diamonds, she carried an ultra-rare, white-gold Hermès Sac Bijou Birkin belonging to her mother, Nita Ambani. Encrusted with over 3,000 diamonds weighing over 111 carats, the miniature bag completely blurred the line between a luxury accessory and high jewellery.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Bulgari diamonds
If there is anyone who truly embodies the seamless fusion of Eastern heritage and Western stardom, it’s Priyanka Chopra Jonas. As a global ambassador for Bulgari, Priyanka doesn’t just wear jewellery, she curates cultural moments with it, making her a permanent fixture in the global celebrity diamond jewellery conversation.
At the 98th Academy Awards, Priyanka wore a structured white Dior gown that served as the perfect canvas for a breathtaking Bvlgari Serpenti diamond choker. The masterful piece, featuring a massive 14-carat Madagascar sapphire woven into a brilliant lattice of hundreds of diamonds, took over 1,300 hours to create and brought pure, undisputed drama to Hollywood’s biggest night.
Stepping out as an official presenter at the Golden Globes, she brought a sense of balanced, timeless elegance to the carpet in a flowing navy tiered gown, illuminated by beautifully layered, classic Bulgari white diamonds.
Margot Robbie in the Taj Mahal Diamond
For Wuthering Heights, Margot Robbie leaned fully into storytelling, using diamonds to extend the film’s world rather than just dress for the cameras. Along with stylist Andrew Mukamal, Robbie delivered a rare case of red-carpet method dressing that really paid off.
The headline pieces were the bespoke signet rings Robbie commissioned jeweller Cece Fein-Hughes to create ahead of the press tour. One for herself, one as a gift for her co-star Jacob Elordi, who play Catherine and Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel. The chunky gold rings feature enamelled skulls and thorn details and are finished with a dainty border of pavé diamonds.
On the band, things get even more specific: a Brontë quote (“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”), the characters’ initials, and “1847–2026,” linking the novel’s publication year to the film’s release.
That same attention to detail carried through to the film’s Los Angeles premiere, where Robbie switched gears and wore the historic Taj Mahal Diamond. The legendary diamond, inscribed with the words “Love is Everlasting” carries one of the most famous love stories in jewellery history. The diamond itself is believed to have once belonged to Nur Jahan, given to her by husband, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahangir. The diamond was then passed down to their son, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan who handed it over to the love of his life, Mumtaz Mahal.
Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma wearing diamonds on and off the pitch
custom-sculpted white gold cricket bat with 9 carats of pavé diamonds on one half, a sleek brushed gold surface anchoring a single solitaire “ball” on the other, all suspended from a constellation chain set with over 400 diamond links. This bespoke Powerplay pendant, created for ace cricketing icon Suryakumar Yadav (opens in a new window), is how style is being defined on the modern pitch today. The deliberate fusion of athletic motifs and elite gemstones echoes global trends — much like how Bad Bunny turned heads with his football-shaped Desert diamond stud.
Abhishek Sharma (opens in a new window) makes the case for diamonds as daily wear rather than occasion wear. He wears studs on the field during high-stakes matches and layers a natural diamond choker with linen shirts off it.
In July, Forevermark gifted him a bespoke ICON bracelet, designed in association with the cricketer. The house took its North Star ICON and rebuilt it as a men’s bracelet: 14 cushion-cut natural diamonds totalling over 13.5 carats, set in 18-carat white gold, with pavé links connecting each ICON element. The band is fully articulated, so it moves with the wrist instead of sitting stiff on it.
Sharma has described the North Star as standing for authenticity and the courage to follow your own direction, which is a neat fit for a player who has built a reputation on doing things his own way. The piece is available made-to-order through select Forevermark stores.
Hailey Bieber, Bad Bunny and other celebrities’ diamond jewellery moments at the Grammys
The Grammys always leave us with plenty to talk about, but this year’s most memorable diamond moment came with real emotion attached. When Bad Bunny accepted Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos (the first Spanish-language album to win the category), the room shifted.
His reaction spoke volumes. As did the single diamond huggie hoop earring he wore: a small but pointed detail that’s now inseparable from his historic win.
Elsewhere on the red carpet, diamonds went big. Hailey Bieber let her jewellery lead in a black strapless Alaïa gown, wearing a custom Lorraine Schwartz choker that placed a 30-carat pear-shaped natural diamond at its centre, paired with oversized pear-shaped studs and a matching ring. Justin Bieber followed suit in his own unique way, arriving in a 100-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond necklace over his black Balenciaga suit and wearing it with total ease.
Bad Bunny’s football-shaped Desert diamond stud at the Super Bowl
At the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, Bad Bunny delivered a historic performance that put his Puerto Rican heritage front and centre. The field at Levi’s Stadium was transformed into a landscape inspired by the island, from sugarcane fields to domino tables and a piragua (shaved ice) stand.
Amid all of that, one detail stood out on closer inspection: a single marquise-cut Desert diamond stud set in yellow gold, shaped unmistakably like a football. Designed by Marvin Douglas, the earring was made specifically for the performance, its shape nodding to the game itself and its warm Desert diamond hue standing out against Bad Bunny’s all-white look.
It was small and easy to miss, but impossible to forget once you caught it. It will forever hold its place in diamond history.
Nita Ambani in diamonds from her personal archives
Rather than treating jewels as static luxury objects, billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist Nita Ambani styles them as living chapters of India’s rich aesthetic legacy. Her public appearances have done something truly spectacular: they have completely redefined what it means to be a modern heirloom curator on the world stage.
Nowhere was her unparalleled eye for rarity more evident this year than on the red carpet at the 2026 TIME100 Gala. She wore a breathtaking, 101-carat pink-brown, old-mine rose-cut diamond. The historic, pear-shaped stone, deeply tied to the legacy of the Nizams of Hyderabad, served as the anchor for a six-strand Basra pearl choker. Finished with matching diamond and Baroque pearl chandelier earrings, it was a masterful display of maximalist elegance that proved historic Indian treasures belong at the very centre of modern global style.
