Award nights and fashion go hand in hand and while some might prefer to focus solely on the outfits, others, like us, love the sparkly diamonds that are bedecked on each celebrity.
Tiffany and Co., Messika, Bvlgari, Chopard, Cartier, De beers and some other jewelers are frequently represented by top celebs gracing the red carpet of most notable award shows.
And although these beautiful pieces are lent to celebrities, their charisma and panache make even the simplest designs look more appealing.
We witness this diamond display again at the recently concluded 2023 Academy awards and for us one of the most memorable display was the De Beers ensembles Rihanna wore for her stage performance of her song “Lift Me Up” – a soundtrack from the movie Black Panther (Wakanda Forever), for which she was also nominated for Best Original Song.
The 35 year old singer gave a captivating performance while dressed in a custom Maison Margiela two-piece outfit which included a black silk tulle embroidered top, silver and blue silk brocade trousers, brocade tabi pumps and black leather gloves. Riri completed her outfit with a dazzling display of De Beers diamonds.
Rihanna’s De Beers jewelry ensemble, which had a combined tcw of more than 140 carats, is estimated to be worth a whopping $2.6 million.
