King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden sadly lost two of his four sisters in recent years, with Princess Birgitta dying in 2024 and Princess Désirée passing earlier this year. Birgitta, who was a mother of three, spent the last three decades of her life on the Spanish island of Mallorca and was called a "colorful and outspoken person” by her brother the King. But Carl Gustaf is reportedly angered by her family's recent decision to auction off his late sister’s jewels.

Several pieces of jewelry owned by Princess Birgitta will be auctioned off by Sotheby’s, including a massive sapphire and diamond necklace and matching earrings that were a wedding gift of Carl Gustaf and Birgitta’s mother, Princess Sibylla.

Princess Birgitta wore the statement necklace to both Princess Madeleine and Crown Princess Victoria’s weddings, and it’s estimated to sell for between $363,000 and $605,000 during the November 11 auction in Geneva.

Other pieces up for sale are an heirloom pearl necklace and a pink sapphire brooch, as well as Princess Birgitta's christening gift from Prince Bertil, which dates from the mid-19th century.

Swedish women’s magazine Svensk Damtidning spoke with historian Herman Lindqvist about the auction, who said he’s “sure” that King Carl Gustaf—who is reported to have not been given warning about the auction—is upset about the decision.

“Personal valuables that are tied to personal memories should not be sold in that way,” he said. “Then it can be done more discreetly and privately.”

"The king is so conservative that this goes completely against his values," Svensk Damtidning's editor-in-chief, Johan T. Lindwall, says. "Selling his mother's jewelry at auction goes against everything the king stands for."

The editor added that he doesn't "think it's out of the question that the king himself will buy back his mother's jewelry" during the auction. "It's rather very likely as they have great sentimental value for the king," he continued.

Royal watchers are eagerly awaiting the Omani state banquet at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, October 20, but on Monday night, the Danish royals celebrated their own state visit from the president of Vietnam. Although Queen Mary didn't go for an overt diplomatic nod with her rich blue outfit, Vietnam is a notable producer of sapphires, and the Danish queen took the opportunity to debut a sparkling tiara that dates back to the late 1800s.

Mary skipped the red and yellow of the Vietnamese flag in favor of a shimmery off-the-shoulder top by Jesper Høvring that she's had in her closet since 2014, pairing it with a navy velvet maxi skirt. But the star of the evening was the delicate sapphire and diamond tiara that only recently returned to the Danish royal family after it was sold at auction.

Known as Queen Alexandrine's Sapphire Tiara, the piece belonged to King Frederik's great-grandmother and features "eight oval-cut Ceylon sapphires weighing around 33 carats in total, set alongside diamonds," per Justin Daughters, managing director at vintage and antique jeweler Berganza.

"What makes this jewel particularly special is its history," Daughters tells Marie Claire. "It was given to the future Queen Alexandrine as a wedding gift in 1898 by Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, before passing through generations of the Danish royal family."

The tiara was passed down to Queen Alexandrine's daughter-in-law, Princess Caroline-Mathilde, in the 1930s. It was then given to Caroline-Mathilde's son, Count Christian of Rosenborg, and his family, and was eventually sold at auction for approximately $290,000 by his descendants in 2018. Per Daughters, the tiara "returned to the Danish Royal Collection in 2024."

Originally, the convertible sapphire and diamond tiara was a much taller design, but Daughters says that the current Danish royal family gave it a more modern look. "Its latest redesign, created in collaboration with jewelry designers Diana Holstein and Hanan Emquies, continues a tradition of adapting important jewels as fashions and the needs of their wearers change."

The tiara can be worn as a necklace or taken apart to become a brooch, and Mary pinned an element from the piece on a thick velvet bracelet for the gala. “I particularly like the way Queen Mary has worn the redesigned piece as a low bandeau while using a separate element from the tiara on a blue velvet bracelet," Daughters shares. "It shows a real understanding of how to style historic jewelry without simply recreating the formal looks associated with it in the past."

The jewelry expert says the new velvet band is a modern way to update such a historic tiara, adding that the bracelet "is unexpected, but it also allows the jewel’s original components to be appreciated in a different way."

Since marrying NFL star Travis Kelce on July 3, Taylor Swift hasn't slowed down at all. Following several date nights in New York City with her husband in recent weeks, Swift jetted off to Los Angeles for the 6th Annual Academy Museum Gala, where she gave an extra special performance.

To walk the red carpet, Swift channeled her inner Disney princess in a custom Christian Dior by Jonathan Anderson gown, styled by Joseph Cassell Falconer.

The "All Too Well" singer accessorized her stunning strapless dress with a pair of Aquazzura's Cupid Plateau 130 Platform Sandals in White.

For jewelry, Swift opted for Chopard jewels from the designer's Haute Joaillerie Collection. Her selections included 32.40-carat diamond platinum earrings, an 18k gold ring with 5.78-carats of diamonds, and a diamond platinum bracelet.

Inside the event, Swift swapped her Dior gown for another equally eye-catching dress.

To take to the stage, where she performed several of her biggest hits, the singer wore a custom Ralph Lauren gown constructed from semi-sheer navy fabric. Modeled on an item from the fashion house's Spring 2027 collection, the sparkly dress featured a sheer skirt along with a ruffled tulle bodice.

Notably, Swift gave her very first live performance of "The Fate of Ophelia" at the gala, more than a year after the single's release date.

A pair of classic hoop earrings always makes my top-five list of jewelry essentials. No matter the size, thickness, metal color, or price point, every chic girl should have at least one pair on hand.

But I have to say—there’s something particularly delicious about hoops of the chunkier variety.

Chunky hoop earrings make just enough of a statement without sacrificing their classic appeal. They're easy to wear from day to night, feel equally appropriate for board meetings and date nights, and, most importantly, make even the simplest outfit look a little more elegant.

Whether you prefer a simple huggie or an oversized round hoop, I’ve collected my current favorites below. From affordable everyday pairs to investment-worthy splurges, there’s something for everyone.

Stylist Molly Dickson doesn't just frost herself in Aurate—she adorns her celebrity clients with jewelry from the brand too. After years of loaning diamonds to Dickson for her red carpet-bound roster, the New York-based jewelry brand gave her "full creative control" over a brand-new 26-piece collection.

Dickson designed the collaboration for fashion girls like Sadie Sink, Lana Del Rey, McKenna Grace, and Keke Palmer. But that's not to say her star-studded clientele scored a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the new collaboration. "I didn't tell anyone about [the Aurate collection] because I'm a private person and I don't think my clients need to know what I'm working on," she tells Marie Claire. "My job is to make them look their best and help them shine in their projects." Still, the second the stylist shared the news on Instagram, Del Rey commented "excuse me" and sent requests for specific pieces.

Not only was Dickson "very intentional about making sure that all my clients would love [the line,]" but a gift from Del Rey inspired one of the standout styles: the Georgian Drop Huggies. "[The 2024 Grammys were] my first time working with her and a week after, she wrote me a handwritten card and was like, 'Thank you so much for all of your help—I love working with you,' and gifted me these diamond drop earrings," she says.

Turns out, Dickson wanted an almost identical pair for over 12 years: during her assistant days, she saw a similar silhouette on an antique jeweler's shelf.

Dickson sees plenty of similarities between her personal style, Del Rey's, and Sink's. "They also are huge fans of antique jewelry, mainly from the Georgian era," she says, reflecting on the 18th and early 19th-century design details that influenced her Aurate collection. The production process began with the Georgian Tennis Necklace, featuring round-cut diamonds against antique-looking, button-back settings.

However, Georgian-era signatures, like mixed metals and asymmetrical gemstones, didn't dominate Dickson's entire mood board. "The way to also attract the younger girls was to mix [the antique] with something more modern and ' 90s-inspired," she says. "That's why I really wanted to do the black choker that they can pair with the charms."

So, the stylist added oval, heart, and pear-shaped diamond pendants to the lineup, which gives the seemingly simple Cord Necklace some character. "Being able to [wear the medallions] with the choker or even a personal chain that your grandma got you, I think the versatility is really cool," she adds.

With her Gen-Z clients in mind (think: Off Campus's Ella Bright, Elle's Lexi Minetree, and Ariana Greenblatt), Dickson made sure she could mix-and-match the collection's bling. "I am really into stacking earrings up the ear; a lot of my younger clients have so many piercings," she says. It doesn't need to be symmetrical: "What you do on your right ear does not need to happen on your left ear."

Yes, the Aurate x Molly Dickson collection slipped seamlessly into Dickson's "styling kit," but it also elevates her "very casual" closet with ease. "I'm normally in my dad's T-shirt and sweatpants," she says. "So, I feel like [styling] all of this jewelry makes me look a little more elevated than just wearing pajamas all day."

For her everyday jewelry stack, Dickson doubles up on the Georgian Drop Huggies and stacks a set of Aurate tennis necklaces on top of a chain from Del Rey. "I shower in [these pieces], I work out in them," she says. "They're [the styles] that you can put on and forget about and wear them as if they're literally part of your skin." She doesn't even need to look in the mirror—and frankly, she doesn't have time to. "I know it's going to go well with any look that I wear," she adds.

For an average workday, Dickson recommends reaching for the tennis necklaces, because "you can pair them with anything," she says. "And then, if you go out to drinks after work, it's still elevated enough and chic and versatile." As for dressing up the Aurate diamonds, Dickson presents the longer Georgian Tennis Earrings as a black-tie-appropriate pair.

But which Aurate x Molly Dickson diamonds will make their red carpet debut first? "You'll just have to wait and see," Dickson says. Pro tip: Zoom in on Grace's ears and décolletage during the Hunger Games: Sunrise On the Reaping press tour. In the meantime, shop the entire collection below.

Olandria Carthen has never treated jewelry like an afterthought. Long before she became one of Love Island USA’s breakout stars, she was a kid who wore a ring on every finger—so many, in fact, that she tells Marie Claire her classmates called her “grandma.” “I love jewelry,” she says. “I really feel like glam and accessories go hand in hand. It could either make or break an outfit.”

That instinct followed the self-described “Bama Barbie” into the villa, where Carthen wore Pandora alongside colorful swimsuits, statement heels, and ever-changing beauty looks that became part of her signature. Now, that relationship with Pandora has come “full circle.” Carthen stars alongside Pat McGrath in the campaign for the new Pandora x Pat McGrath collection, which brings the legendary makeup artist’s maximalist beauty universe to jewelry through lipstick, lips, and heart motifs. It’s also a partnership Carthen had manifested: After meeting McGrath last year, she publicly talked about wanting to work with her.

“To be a part of this campaign and be the face of it alongside Pat McGrath—the icon, the mother of all mothers—is insane,” Carthen says. “It has been so surreal.” Ahead, she talks about working with McGrath, her history with Pandora, dressing according to her mood, and why the right accessories can make almost anything look expensive.

Last year, you said meeting Pat McGrath felt like a dream and that you were hoping to work with her one day. Why were you such a fan?
Pat McGrath is so iconic. Her work has always been referenced and will be referenced for years and decades to come. To be able to meet someone like that and feel the warmth, the energy, the overall aura from her, I was like, “Wow, it would be a dream of mine to work alongside someone like this.” We don't have huge representation like her in these spaces for us Black women. So to be able to stand alongside someone like that and partner with her and Pandora in this moment in time felt like a dream.

Was there something that you and Pat McGrath bonded over when you first met?
We were just gushing over each other; we were both huge fans of each other. Immediately, she's like, "What's your number? Here's my phone. Put your number in." I never imagined that being my reality.

I didn't expect that video to go so viral everywhere. All of a sudden, my Ola Dolls were in the comments like, "Oh my gosh, we would love a collab of some sort." To have so many people already being supportive of whatever the collab would be was so eye-opening and so inspiring for me. So for me to be able to be a part of this, it's just been like, “Wow, they're going to love this.”

What was it like going from admiring Pat McGrath’s work to working with her for this campaign?
It was a pinch-me moment. When my team brought that information to me—like, "Hey, you're going to get to be alongside Pat in this release with Pandora"—I was just like, "No way. No me." I almost felt like I was dreaming. I was so happy. I've never said yes so fast in my entire life. To be on set with her and the Pandora team, I literally could have just cried. Everyone was so nice. I never felt so confident on set before. It didn't feel like I was in reality at all.

Her always pouring into me, saying that I'm doing great, supporting me and everything that I do, means so much coming from someone like that, who's been in the industry for quite some time.

What character did you take on for this campaign?
The strongest woman I can imagine. Standing alongside someone like Pat McGrath, who's had so much skin in the game, who's been around for a long time, making waves in the industry day in and day out, you couldn't go in being a little girl. I had to be like, Okay, I got to put my grown woman pants on and really stand because I'm standing next to an icon here. I had to bring my A game.

You’ve been a Pandora fan before this campaign. Do you remember your first piece from the brand?
It was a charm bracelet. Growing up as a kid, you always saw all the girls at school with these beautiful Pandora charms documenting all their milestones. I always loved the thought process behind those charms. Growing up, I always wanted one. And the moment I was able to get one from my mom for Christmas, I was so happy.

My very first charm was a Gemini symbol because I'm a Gemini. And then another one was a makeup charm because I used to love being dolled up. It was a big moment for me, and I used to wear it all the time. As I started graduating and reaching milestones, I would always get another charm, like a graduation cap. So it would literally be glued to my arm.

Being a fan of a brand, and actually being able to work with that same brand, makes you want to deliver times 10 because it's like, I love y'all's brand so much. And for them to choose me as a talent, to be able to be the face of this certain campaign, is my dream.

Pandora often talks about the symbolism of jewelry and collecting pieces as mementos. What is the most sentimental piece of jewelry that you own?
The ring that my grandmother gave me. It holds so many memories and so much value. I really feel like jewelry that's passed down from generation to generation... [these] are such important pieces, and I think that's where my love for jewelry really came from. And just the thought of being able to pass those same pieces down to your daughter one day.

You’ve talked about taking an inexpensive swimsuit and turning it into a whole look with heels, jewelry, and sunglasses. What part can accessories play in putting an outfit together?
Going on a show like [Love Island], you're going for at least two months, and you know how expensive it is to try to buy two months' worth of clothes with a nine-to-five job? I couldn't afford it. So I had to think quick. I'm like, "You know what? I'm going to accessorize it. I'm going to distract you so hard so you don't even realize it's the $8 bikini because you’re so obsessed with my shades or my cute heels."

You'll be amazed what tailoring and accessories can truly do to an outfit. So that was me all summer in the cheapest bikinis you can imagine, but the heels is what kept the people coming back like, "Wow, look how she pairs it with those heels." I'm like, "Yeah, and this bikini is like $4, you don't even know it." Accessorizing has always been something I've done because I didn't [always] get to buy the most quality pieces. The way you accessorize can really take an outfit from plain to chic immediately.

You‘ve rejected the idea that a woman needs one signature style or look. You’ve been a “Bama Barbie” for Coachella, you’ve channeled Dorothy Dandridge, Old Hollywood for the Golden Globes. How important is that personal expression to you?
It is everything. I really feel like fashion is all about self-expression. It's all about finding your own identity. We're not made to follow trends. I've never been a fan of that. I kind of always wanted to make my own thing. If I like a trend, I'll put my own twist to it where I don't have to look like everyone else.

Depending on my mood, that's how I'm dressing. If I'm feeling down in the dumps one day, I'm like, "You know what? I'm feeling a black outfit for today." If I'm happy and I'm feeling excited, you see bright colors, you see patterns, you see different silhouettes. We're not meant to be put in boxes when it comes to fashion. We should be able to do anything and everything we can do to express ourselves in ways that we want to. So I'm not a fan of putting myself in a box when it comes to fashion. It's not there for that.

As a viewer, you also never know what to expect from you fashion-wise.
A lot of my supporters are like: Olandria is making this fun again. Knowing that she's coming to the carpet, none of us can really guess what kind of hairstyle she's going to have, what kind of glam she's going to have, what kind of dress she's going to have on, or what outfit she's going to have. That's exciting.

Imagine if I was so predictable, you predict my outfit every single time, my glam, my hair. Where's the fun in that? Being able to show up one day with a mullet, to be able to show up one day with heavily curled hair… It's just so fun because you never know what you're going to get. I don't even know what I'm going to get.

[When preparing a look, I think:] What haven't we done yet? What color haven't we brought to a carpet yet? What kind of hairstyle have we not done yet?

It seems like you love to play dress-up.
That is so accurate. As a little girl, I've always loved playing dress-up, whether that's me raiding my mom's closet, dressing up in her heels or her clothes, or just doing that with my own clothes. It's always been a part of my world.

As a kid, I used to have rings on every finger, and my classmates used to call me grandma because grandmothers used to wear rings on every single finger that they had.

Growing up, I've always wanted to be someone's personal Barbie. So to be able to play dress-up for a living now is so exciting, and it's so fun. I have such a great time when events pop up on my schedule, to be able to sit down with my team and be like, "What's the mood board? What should we do?" Just recently, at the Casablanca show, me choosing to wear that jacket backwards, I just love the different things that you can do with different clothes. Wear them differently, whether it's inside out, upside down, backwards, or whatever.

You’ve said your love of dressing up goes back to childhood and watching your mom get ready. What about it was so inspiring to you?
Seeing her confidence start to shine as she's coming to the end of her routine and getting her clothes on, the way she's looking herself in the mirror and how she's coming alive in these clothes. I always admired that. I'm all giddy in the corner, excited because I can't wait to tell her how beautiful she is by the end of the entire process.

As a kid, you love seeing your mom happy and feeling good about herself. You can see her really feeling herself; she's moving and doing her little happy dance in the mirror.

Those moments were so small then, but meant so much to me at the same time. When she's gone, me raiding her closet and doing those same little moves in the mirror to make me feel good about myself as well, it all played into it. It was a very beautiful experience.

When Taylor Swift arrived at the 2026 MTV VMAs, photographers called her "Mrs. Kelce" on the red carpet for the first time since her July 3, 2026 wedding at Madison Square Garden. Before the award show on September 27, the newlywed showed up in a Tamara Ralph dress and the newest addition to her ring stack: the wedding band.

This is hardly the first time Swifties has worn the ring. As far as we know, she officially debuted it one week after she said "I do," at the July 10 nuptials of one of Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates. But despite Swift's appearances there and, since then, at the Grammy Museum and in an Emmy Awards skit with Mariska Hargitay, there have been no crystal-clear close-ups of the band.

It didn't earn a leading role in the "Patient Zero" music video, either, but neither did Swift's engagement ring by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. Instead, the "Opalite" singer waited until the 2026 VMAs—where she made history as the most-awarded artist in the show's history—to showcase the wedding band in all its glory. Hollywood's best photographers were happy to capture, each with their telephoto lens zoomed in on Swift's left hand, and offer a clear shot of the design for the first time.

While the designer behind her newest heirloom remains a mystery at pub time, according to jewelers, Swift's circular diamond band appears made for her main old mine-cut engagement sparkler. "Seven graduated, antique-style round diamonds create a measured line of light, while the custom contour lets the yellow gold follow the solitaire’s shape with striking precision," Eddie Le Vian, CEO of Le Vian Jewelers, tells Marie Claire. "[The design] doesn’t compete with the center diamond; [it] feels deeply personal, as though the two rings were designed to belong together from the beginning," he adds.

Le Vian applauds the symmetry between the engagement and wedding rings, specifically how the bottom band was "shaped to nest against the [center stone], with each diamond aligned to the engraved design on the engagement ring." That intricate connection "takes real planning," he says. Because of this organic fit, Swifties are speculating it could be another Artifex Fine creation.

Meanwhile, Kegan Fisher, the co-founder and CEO of Frank Darling, tells Marie Claire that "a pavé or heavily detailed band would have fought" with the engagement ring's "broad, chunky flash, set low in a hand-engraved yellow gold bezel." Fisher also believes that the wedding band was a smart, practical choice, especially beneath a "huge, showstopper" diamond. "With a large, low-set stone like hers, the band needs to sit comfortably alongside it every day, and a slimmer half-eternity does exactly that," she says. "The lesson for anyone building a stack is to let your engagement ring set the tone and choose a band that frames it."

The diamonds seemed to encircle the Grammy winner's entire finger, making it one of the more maximalist wedding band choices. As for the price, Le Vian suspects that "a custom band of this kind might retail in the range of $8,000 to $15,000, depending on the diamonds’ exact size and quality, the gold work, and the craftsmanship," he says.

To finish her first red carpet look as a wife, Swift frosted herself to the nines, sourcing diamond earrings from Anita Ko and Leviev, a bulkier band by Etho, and crystal-covered Le Silla stilettos. Even her delicately draped Tamara Ralph skirt was dripping in (faux) diamonds.

Known as the wildest award show of the season, spectators were less surprised to see naked dresses and peekaboo bras at the MTV VMAs than they were to spot a timeless wedding band. It's shocking, to say the least, that Swift debuted such an elegant sparkler on a red carpet covered in daring, less-is-more looks. That said, its red carpet debut made for the perfect surprise—one that Swifties anticipated just as much as the music video premiere of "Patient Zero."

Jennifer Lopez is currently at Milan Fashion Week, where she's attended multiple Dolce and Gabbana shows. After debuting a menswear-inspired velvet suit—complete with a Peaky Blinders-esque flat cap—J.Lo swapped her tailored look for literal underwear.

On September 26, the Office Romance star was photographed arriving at the Dolce and Gabbana after-party in Milan wearing a lacy lingerie slip dress.

Of course, Lopez is no stranger to the naked dress trend and she seamlessly took the style to Milan. The floral lace slip dress was totally sheer, revealing her underwear underneath. She wore a sumptuous black fur coat over the top of her lingerie-inspired dress.

For accessories, Lopez wore a suite of emerald and diamond jewelry and carried a black satin clutch bag. She opted for a pair of strappy stiletto sandals for footwear.

In case anyone was in doubt, the naked dress trend is very much alive and well. Just ask J.Lo.

With the publication of Charles Spencer’s new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, there’s been renewed attention surrounding Princess Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles. When the couple got engaged in 1981, she selected what would become one of the most famous rings in the world, but there’s a second, never-before-seen piece of jewelry that’s associated with the final day of her life.

Princess Diana’s iconic engagement ring, which is now worn by Princess Kate, features a massive Ceylon sapphire surrounded by a halo of diamonds, but shortly before her death, Diana's boyfriend purchased a much different diamond style.

During the summer of 1997, Diana was dating Harrods boss Mohamed Al-Fayed’s son, Dodi Fayed, who was killed alongside the princess in a Parisian car crash. While they were traveling that summer, Fayed purchased a domed gold band from famed Parisian jeweler Repossi—and according to the inquest into her death, it was an engagement ring.

The ring, known as the Dis-Moi Oui, or “tell me yes,” was certainly not what anyone would expect when imagining an engagement style. The Repossi design was worth £11,600 in 1997, per the Guardian, and featured a wide gold band set with an emerald-cut central diamond and four triangular diamonds in a sort of starburst shape.

In season six of The Crown, Fayed proposes to Diana with the Dis-Moi Oui and tells her, “You said you liked it in Monte Carlo.” Of course, the Netflix drama is a fictional retelling of royal events, and it's unknown if Diana ever saw the ring or if he proposed.

According to a 2007 report in the Guardian at the time of the inquest into Diana’s death, Fayed was pictured looking at rings in CCTV footage from Repossi’s Paris store on August 30, 1997, a day before they died. On August 31, Claude Roulet, the assistant to the president of the Ritz Paris hotel, was seen bringing a bag from the shop into Diana and Dodi’s suite.

Per Roulet, he showed two rings to Fayed, who chose the Dis-Moi Oui and brought it to his nearby apartment for safekeeping.

Princess Diana was not wearing the ring when she was involved in the deadly car accident, and it was later found in Dodi's apartment. “A ring bearing the inscription ‘Dis-Moi Oui’ (‘Tell me Yes’) was recovered from the flat after the couple's death,” the Guardian reported. “A receipt dated August 30 1997, the day before the crash, listing a ‘bague de fiançaille’ (engagement ring), was also recovered.”

However, at the time of their death, Fayed’s spokesperson told the media, “what that ring meant we shall probably never know,” even though Fayed’s father claimed that Dodi was planning on proposing the night that they died in the inquest.

Per the Guardian, Diana’s friends “denied that the couple were engaged or that Princess Diana was thinking of marriage to Dodi Fayed.”

“We know the ring existed and that Dodi purchased it, but we cannot definitively say that Diana accepted it as an engagement ring or that an engagement had been agreed,” says jewelry expert Nilesh Rakholia, founder of Abelini.

“From a jewelry perspective, that uncertainty makes the piece particularly fascinating,” he adds. “It is a design that looks more like a statement piece than a conventional engagement ring, and we may never know exactly what it was intended to represent.”

The Dis-Moi Oui ring caused such a stir in the media that Repossi actually stopped creating the design, going as far as to destroy the models and drawings of the jewelry. Rakholia estimates that, if its provenance were fully authenticated, the piece could be worth between £200,000 and £500,000 today.

As for the ring Diana likely never received, it sat inside a memorial display at Harrods before being returned to Dodi's father, who died in 2023. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

Grace Kelly died 44 years ago, succumbing to injuries from a car crash on September 14, 1982. Although her life was cut short at just 52, Princess Grace of Monaco’s legacy lives on, both in terms of her classic Hollywood movies and her fashion. Kelly’s jewels might not have always been the flashiest, but she focused on “thoughtful, versatile” pieces, as Justin Daughters, managing director at vintage and antique jewelry retailer Berganza, tells Marie Claire.

“It says a great deal about a person's style that, 44 years after her death, we're still discussing Grace Kelly's jewelry in the present tense,” Daughters says. Whether it was her original engagement ring or a simple strand of pearls, the princess didn’t rely on “the biggest or the most fashionable option available,” he notes.

“In many ways, Grace Kelly understood quiet luxury long before we had a name for it,” the jewelry pro says, adding that she leaned toward "restraint, quality and pieces chosen with a genuinely considered eye.”

When Prince Rainier III of Monaco proposed to the Hollywood star in 1956, he gave her a relatively restrained eternity band featuring rubies and diamonds to represent Monaco’s flag. It was quickly upgraded to her famous 10.48-carat ring, the style she famously wore in her last movie, High Society.

“Emerald cuts are especially appealing because their appeal comes from the proportions of the cut and high-quality stones themselves, not the amount of sparkle they have,” Daughters says of the ring. “This is exactly the type of design that ages well because it does not depend on trends that are going to fade away soon.”

But even though her second engagement ring was enormous to say the least, Daughters says the Cartier design still managed to feel effortless.

“Grace had an understanding that good jewelry should enhance the wearer and not dominate,” he shares. “She could wear a significant piece without allowing it to become the entire focus of an outfit, which is a difficult balance to achieve and one that still feels incredibly sophisticated today.”

Princess Grace didn’t wear a tiara for her wedding day, instead opting to wear an intricate lace Juliet cap with her veil. But she did wear several tiaras over the years, including one that she received as a wedding gift: the Bains de Mer Tiara.

"The Cartier piece was designed with diamonds and ruby cabochon floral motifs, with elements that could be detached and worn afterwards as individual brooches,” Daughters says of the design, which, like her first engagement ring, represented Monaco’s national colors.

“That kind of thoughtful, versatile design is exactly what antique jewelry specialists and collectors continue to value,” Daughters says. “It demonstrates that even an important ceremonial piece can be designed with longevity and wearability in mind.”

Because of the timeless aspect of most of her pieces, Princess Grace’s jewelry has continued to stand the test of time. “What connects Grace Kelly’s jewelry and, I believe, makes her jewelry collection resonate so much with people even today, is that everything she wears seems to be carefully selected rather than simply accumulated,” Daughters says.

Royal families from around the globe gathered to remember King Harald V of Norway at his funeral on Wednesday, September 9, and members of his family paid tribute to the 89-year-old with jewelry steeped in royal tradition.

The women of the Norwegian royal family—as well as many of the guests—wore classic pearl jewelry to King Harald’s funeral at Oslo Cathedral. It’s a choice that dates back to Queen Victoria’s day, as Eddie Le Vian, CEO of Le Vian jewelers, tells Marie Claire.

“Pearls have spoken the language of royal mourning for generations,” Le Vian says. “Since Queen Victoria mourned Prince Albert, pearls have come to evoke tears, remembrance and dignity. To me, their symbolism is profound: a pearl is formed layer by layer, just as grief is carried layer by layer. The tears may eventually dry, but the love—and the pearl—remain.”

King Harald’s widow, Queen Sonja, led the Norwegian royal family in mourning the late monarch, who died on August 28. The strand of pearls wrapped around her neck multiple times was the most striking of the royal women, and Le Vian notes that her ensemble “feels intensely personal.”

“The close rows of pearls encircle her like an embrace, while the long strand descends almost like a river of tears,” the jewelry expert shares. Queen Sonja paired the dramatic necklace with a black mourning veil, a pearl bracelet and large pearl earrings, adding King Harald’s royal family order to her black dress.

Like her mother-in-law, King Haakon's wife, Queen Mette-Marit, also wore a pearl necklace, but went for a simpler three-stand design with a diamond clasp and diamond-accented pearl studs.

Le Vian says that Mette-Marit’s “layered pearls carry a different but equally moving meaning.”

“Standing beside Queen Sonja as Norway’s new queen, she is at the threshold between two reigns,” he shares. “Her pearls become a bridge—between mother and daughter-in-law, private grief and public duty, King Harald’s legacy and King Haakon’s future.”

The new queen's daughter, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, also chose pearls for her grandfather's funeral. In addition to a classic pair of pearl studs, the future queen wore a special gift from her grandmother. Queen Sonja gave Ingrid Alexandra the pearl necklace she wore on Wednesday as a christening present, and it features a diamond heart pendant with a ruby center hanging from a tiny string of pearls.

Ingrid Alexandra swapped out her earrings for a pair of dangling pearls during a balcony appearance after the funeral, removing her veiled headpiece to wear a simple black headband.

King Harald and Queen Sonja's only daughter, Princess Märtha Louise, went for a bolder pearl look, layering a five-strand choker with a diamond and pearl clasp with a more classic single strand of pearls. She added oversized pearl button earrings and a similar veiled headband as her niece, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

“Diamonds announce light. Pearls hold it," Le Vian says. "That is why pearls feel so profoundly right in mourning: they resemble tears, yet they endure long after the tears have fallen.”

Alex Consani is, in her own words, “a big motherfucker Leo.”

The model was born on July 23, the first day of Leo season, so Pandora couldn’t have found a more enthusiastic face for the new zodiac-inspired chapter of the jewelry brand's Talisman collection. Launched on August 26, the latest collection introduces more than 30 charms, rings, and chain necklaces inspired by the zodiac and four elements, with medallions, cameos, Latin inscriptions, and celestial motifs designed to evoke the qualities associated with each sign. Photographed by Cass Bird, the campaign featured Consani alongside Mahi Kabra and Jill Kortleve.

For Consani, the collection’s zodiac theme is personal. “I’ve really connected with myself a lot through my astrology sign,” she tells Marie Claire at the collection’s launch party, held at L.A.’s Hollywood Roosevelt and featuring attendees like True Whitaker, Ella Emhoff, and Vivian Wilson. And the trait she identifies most strongly with? “Not giving a fuck, for sure. I think that’s something that a lot of Leos that I meet kind of share.”

It’s an accurate description of her approach to fashion, too. While modeling requires her to inhabit many fashion personas, Consani says her off-duty style is guided by how she’s feeling that day. “Fashion is a really good way to express what you’re feeling internally,” she explains. “When I’m in a good mood, my clothing reflects that. I wear things that are maybe a little bit more scandalous or risqué—like, oops, a boob might pop out.”

For Consani, whose irreverent social media presence is every bit as unfiltered as her personal style, even a wardrobe malfunction can become a social opportunity. “Someone’s like, ‘Oh girl, your boob is out,’ and I’m like, ‘Thank you.’ It’s a nice way to talk to people... it initiates conversation,” she says. “You make a connection with people through fashion.”

Jewelry plays a similar role in her wardrobe. Consani calls herself “a light jewelry girl,” which, in her world, means that when she does accessorize, it’s “a statement, even if it’s minimal.” She uses jewelry strategically, “to accentuate my outfit”: a necklace to highlight the neckline of a low-cut dress, a bracelet to add interest to a more covered-up look.

In keeping with Pandora’s emphasis on jewelry with personal meaning, Consani is also sentimental about the pieces she wears. Some of Consani's first came from her mother—“not given, stolen,” she jokes. “They’re from someone that I love, so I know that the stones hold good vibes,” Consani says. “That’s a really big part of jewelry pieces, just making sure that they carry the right energy.”

The campaign’s focus on identity and self-expression also tracks with Consani’s own style evolution. She only has to look back a few years to see how much hers has changed. “A thousand percent,” she says. Modeling, she says, has become a fashion education of sorts, exposing her to designers, stylists, and collaborators who have helped refine her personal style. “When I look back at that version of myself, it’s not something that I regret. I honestly look back, and I’m inspired,” she says. “It just differs as you grow up and learn more about what you like, what you don’t like.”

Certain Consani-isms, however, remain permanent. “I’ll always be a slut in one way or another,” she says. “Even if it’s classy, I think that there are always elements of myself that I like to be a little bit risqué. And I think that that's something that is maybe a part of me being a Leo; maybe it's a part of just how I grew up and my own expression.”

Her look for the Pandora party proves the point: a strapless Blumarine dress with a thigh-high slit, topped off with a wig, a look she’s currently trying out. “This is a new thing for me, and I enjoy it,” she says, adding that style experimentation is something everyone could use more of right now. “We should be able to just say fuck it because I think we take ourselves too seriously.”

That refusal to take herself—or the fashion world—too seriously has become part of Consani’s appeal. Despite an increasingly public career, she credits her inner circle with keeping her grounded. “I’m around people that really make me feel special outside of the job that I do and make me feel special for the human that I am,” she says. “Having a chosen family is really important for me.”

This summer, she has also found a more literal way to tune out the noise: putting down her phone. “I’ve been off my phone, which is the first time I’ve done that in a while,” she says. “It’s been quite nice and inspiring to find the world again.” She’s been "feeling very '80s," listening to the radio instead: “I feel like an old-school bitch.”

Princess Diana never met her sons’ wives, but her legacy lives on in some of the extraordinary pieces of jewelry that were passed down to Princess Kate and Meghan Markle. While the Princess of Wales received the most iconic piece from Diana’s collection, her sapphire and diamond engagement ring, the Duchess of Sussex also was given a number of the late royal’s jewels.

One of the diamonds in her three-stone engagement ring comes from Diana’s collection, and Meghan also regularly wears the princess’s Cartier tank watch, but the Duchess of Sussex has worn several of her late mother-in-law’s other earrings, bracelets and rings. Now that Prince Harry and Meghan have moved back to the U.K., Princess Diana’s jewelry will once again return to Britain.

“The notion of seeing Meghan on U.K. soil wearing Diana’s jewelry again would be significant because these pieces are now living quite distinct lives,” jewelry expert and Abelini founder Nilesh Rakholia tells Marie Claire.

“We remember them on Diana, but Meghan has been wearing some of them for years too,” he adds. “They are no longer simply pieces associated with one woman.”

Asprey Cocktail Ring

The most memorable jewelry moment from Harry and Meghan’s wedding came when the couple left Windsor Castle to head to their reception, with Meghan wearing Princess Diana’s enormous aquamarine cocktail ring on her right hand.

“The aquamarine is probably the piece I’d be most excited to see back in Britain because it now belongs to two very recognizable jewelry moments,” Rakholia says.

“For Diana, it became associated with a period when she was stepping into a new chapter of her life and making choices on her own terms,” he shares of the Asprey ring. “Then, years later, Meghan wore it on her wedding evening with that very clean Stella McCartney dress.”

As the Duchess of Sussex starts her own new chapter in the U.K. after six years in California, the ring feels like a fitting piece to bring out once again.

Cartier Watch

When Meghan was starring in Suits, she treated herself to the special two-tone Cartier Tank Française watch she’d always wanted, but little did she know that she’d one day inherit the same timepiece owned by Princess Diana.

The former Suits star told Hello! in 2015 that she had her watch engraved “to M.M. from M.M.,” sharing that she planned to pass it down to her future daughter. “That's what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them,” Meghan said.

Fast-forward to 2020, and the Duchess of Sussex was pictured wearing Diana's all-gold version of the Cartier Tank Française for the first time, and she’s worn it almost constantly for the past six years.

“For me, this is one of the most fitting pieces Meghan could have inherited,” says Rakholia. “She already had a relationship with Cartier before she ever met Harry.”

He adds, “This is what makes Diana’s watch feel like a particularly natural heirloom for Meghan. She wasn’t introduced to the design through the Royal Family. She had already independently chosen the same watch for herself because it suited her own taste.”

Butterfly Earrings

Princess Diana owned a pair of diamond butterfly earrings featuring blue gemstones, famously wearing them during a 1986 tour of Canada. Decades later, the Duchess of Sussex debuted the sparkling studs during her first major royal tour with Prince Harry in October 2018.

She's gone on to wear the earrings on several other occasions over the years, and Rakholia notes that although the studs "feel distinctly of their period," the Duchess of Sussex "has worn them in a way that stops them feeling like costume jewelry from the 1980s.”

The timing of Meghan’s first public wear has since given the butterfly earrings another association. "Diana wore them as a young princess. Decades later, Meghan wore them at the beginning of a tour when the world had just learned she was expecting Diana’s grandson," Rakholia says. "That connection didn’t exist when Diana owned them; Meghan created it simply by wearing them."

"That is exactly how heirloom jewelry accumulates meaning," he adds. "The physical object hasn’t changed, but the stories attached to it have."

As the daughter-in-law of the late Princess Diana, Meghan Markle regularly wears special pieces of jewelry from the royal's collection. To attend a gala in honor of the 40th anniversary of the David Foster Foundation, Duchess Meghan paired a long black dress with a rarely-seen pair of Princess Diana's earrings.

On August 7, Meghan walked the red carpet with husband Prince Harry, and also posed alongside close friend Katharine McPhee. For the occasion, the Duchess of Sussex wore Canadian designer Greta Constantine's Fabrizio Gown, which features a caped gown draped from one shoulder. The dramatic little black dress was the perfect choice for the star-studded gala.

Notably, Meghan accessorized the stunning gown with Princess Diana's butterfly earrings.

The iconic earrings are reportedly constructed from "gold, diamonds, and dark blue gemstones," per The Court Jeweler. The late Princess of Wales wore the jewels during a visit to British Columbia in Canada in May 1986, and they've since been given to Prince Harry's wife, who has worn them on a handful of occasions.

Meghan's decision to pair Diana's butterfly earrings with a sleek little black dress was most definitely the perfect choice for a night out with Harry.

Princess Kate's influence over the fashion world has been well-documented, with items the royal has worn regularly selling out following her endorsement. Unsurprisingly, her hair and beauty choices have also added to the "Kate effect," causing royal fans worldwide to replicate the Princess of Wales's style. And according to one jewelry designer, Princess Kate's decision to wear the brand was transformative.

Maddy Sangster, who took over the jewelry label Heavenly London from her mom, revealed that one celebrity has made a bigger impact on the business than anyone else.

"The Princess of Wales, for sure," Sangster told the Daily Mail in a new interview. "Back then she was the original influencer. It was a butterfly effect. Overnight the business went from this teeny tiny company to booming."

While other celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez and Rachel Zegler have shown love for the brand, Princess Kate's endorsement has generated the biggest sales.

Sangster continued, "Suddenly, there will be this flurry of activity on the website, especially from America. You know exactly what's happened because her followers are so loyal."

The Princess of Wales has worn Heavenly London on several occasions. For instance, she wore a pair of pearl earrings from Heavenly London when she attended the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery in London in June 2023.

Discussing some of the ways she's been changing the brand since taking over, Sangster shared, "The business my mother built was incredible and had a devoted following...My job has been translating that devotion into a modern brand, and the growth has come from customers who found us online and stayed."

As for Princess Kate, it seems likely that the royal's choices will continue to influence fashion and jewelry sales for years to come.

When crafted intentionally, even the smallest pieces of jewelry can become a portal into a whole new imaginative world. Pandora understands this concept better than most, and its latest collection, Pandora Wonders, is a true testament to that vision.

Co-created with British stylist Harry Lambert, this limited-edition assortment of eleven freshwater baroque pearl charms conveys a narrative of playful escapism. Handset by expert artisans and finished with 14K gold-plated details, the styles evoke powerful nostalgia—from an ice cream cone reminiscent of sweet boardwalk treats to pufferfish motifs that call to mind the briny scent of the ocean.

“I’m such a fan of pearls, so I’m so thrilled to bring a renewed sense of childlike delight and nostalgia to Pandora’s unique world of charms, signatures which already have such a place in so many people’s hearts,” says Lambert.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to explore Lambert’s work and celebrate the collection launch at the Montauk Beach House. While personalizing my necklaces, bracelets, and earrings with quirky charms, I felt suddenly transported back to my childhood summers on the shore. These endearing pieces have quickly become core staples of my warm-weather wardrobe, adding the perfect amount of whimsy to every outfit.

Below, I’m sharing how I styled these accessories during my Hamptons getaway with Pandora, and how I’ll continue to wear them throughout the season. With summer in full swing, it’s an ideal time to indulge in these fun styles for yourself, too.

Nineties Nostalgia

If you haven’t yet heard, ‘90s-inspired cord necklaces have been trending across the fashion set. So, of course I had to try the vintage look for myself with Pandora’s version. I treated the brand’s Talisman necklace as a blank canvas, decorating it with a mini submarine charm and an adorable crab pendant. Then I added cobalt-colored beads that matched my cool blue button-down top. I completed my outfit with minimalist staples: a black tank top, white linen trousers, and sleek leather sandals.

Sardine Summer

Who knew that fish jewelry would become a coveted accessory trend? I, for one, can’t seem to get enough of the nautical look. For a day of shopping on Montauk’s Main Street, I styled Pandora’s Sardine Fish Charm with its Squid Dangle Charm. Strung along a shimmering chain necklace, these pendants instantly elevated my relaxed cardigan and striped drawstring pants.

To enhance things even further, I slipped on a two-tone ring and a chain bracelet (I chose the gold option, but Pandora also offers a stunning blue alternative for a vibrant pop of color).

Back to Basics

I’ve always been a “less is more” type of gal. For this outfit, I channeled my inner minimalist with a gold rolo chain and a subtle dangle charm. I applied this same pared-down philosophy to the rest of my ensemble, opting for a simple tube top and a pair of blue bottoms that felt oh-so beachy.

Star of the Show

Adorned with a spotted starfish and tiny gold heart embellishments, this bold necklace became the focal point of my coastal-chic outfit. Since it’s such a statement-making piece, I finished off the look with laid-back separates, including a butter yellow button-down, a scoop-neck tank, and tailored trousers. This easygoing outfit formula carried me through brunch outings, casual coffee runs, and everything in between.

Late-Night Elegance

While in Montauk, the Pandora team treated us to a lovely dinner at Alba Spiaggia. For the fancy occasion, I decided to take things up a notch with my jewelry. I kept on my starfish necklace, but added a bold bracelet, dazzling earrings, and an eye-catching ring. In doing so, my look felt less beach-ready and more dinner-appropriate.

Part of the beauty of the Pandora Wonders collection is that it’s the first of many. Each annual edition will explore a distinct material in collaboration with visionary tastemakers. I’m beyond excited to style next year’s installment, but until then, I’ll be wearing my playful pearls all summer long.

Wimbledon might be over, but I’m still thinking about Princess Kate’s outfits. The Princess of Wales attended three days of the 2026 tennis championships, wearing a tradition-breaking blue trouser suit, a vintage-inspired red peplum dress and a floaty green midi dress with cape detail. But while her outfits were all brand-new, she looked to familiar favorites for her jewelry.

Whether it was her favorite Van Cleef & Arpels earrings, the lapis and moonstone drops she wore with her suit or the ruby and diamond set she’s been wearing more regularly lately, Kate went for tried-and-true pieces of jewelry. Although she’s occasionally worn new pieces to Wimbledon, jewelry expert Nilesh Rakholia says that the Princess of Wales is looking to Princess Diana when it comes to building visual association through jewelry.

“Wimbledon isn't just another engagement, it's tradition, and for the Princess of Wales specifically, it comes with a particular kind of scrutiny,” Rakholia, founder of Abelini, shares. Since it’s televised, he says the championships present “a very different kind of pressure than an ordinary public appearance,” adding that Wimbledon “is exactly the kind of occasion where people reach for what's proven rather than what's new.”

Princess Kate certainly has her favorites when it comes to jewelry, wearing the same pieces from jewelers like Kiki McDonough, Cartier, Daniella Draper and Spells of Love on repeat. Rakholia says that “seeing the same pendant or the same earrings appear again at moments like this builds a quiet familiarity over time,” pointing to Kate’s late mother-in-law as an example.

“Think about Princess Diana, mention her name and certain pieces come to mind almost instantly: her sapphire engagement ring, the pearl choker she wore so often it became part of her visual identity,” he notes. “That association wasn't built in a single appearance, it took years of repetition.”

Sapphires and pearls were two of Diana’s signatures, and Rakholia suggests that Kate might be heading the same way with rubies. “I think we may be watching the early stages of the same thing happen with Kate and her ruby pieces,” he says. “It's still early days by comparison, but the same quiet, cumulative process that made certain jewelry inseparable from Diana's image seems to be underway.”

The Princess of Wales first wore her G. Collins & Sons ruby pendant during a 2017 tour of Poland, and the diamond halo design is very similar to her famous sapphire engagement ring, which was originally worn by Princess Diana. This summer, Kate has been wearing the necklace and its matching drop earrings more frequently, recently sporting the set to a Cancer Research U.K. reception.

As for rubies, they also happen to be Prince George's birthstone, and the future King will turn 13 next week—a fitting reason to wear ruby jewelry more than ever.

Princess Kate has her pick of jewels from the Royal Family’s collection, and while she does borrow some of Queen Elizabeth’s historic necklaces or Princess Diana’s favorite earrings, she also favors her own modern jewelry. For Trooping the Colour 2026, the Princess of Wales wore a newer favorite pair of earrings by Cassandra Goad, and although they come with a hefty price tag, royal fans can get the look with a very similar pair by Tuckernuck.

Kate’s $10,072 Cavolfiore earrings feature clusters of diamond-studded pearls, with the word “cavolfiore” meaning “cauliflower” in Italian. According to the designer, the earrings were “inspired by the Sicilian markets, which are full of the most beautifully ripe fruit and vegetables that overflow copiously from their baskets.”

The 18-carat-gold earrings are indeed stunning, but for those of us who don’t have royal titles, Tuckernuck offers a $48 pair that will give you princess energy without spending thousands.

For the price, you'd expect these statement earrings to be faux, but they're actually made from genuine freshwater pearls with a hypoallergenic titanium post. I'm incredibly impressed by the quality and the substantial size—they certainly don't feel cheap. I don't do well with heavy earrings, and although I wouldn't classify these as lightweight, they're comfortable enough to wear for hours.

Princess Kate has been wearing her Cassandra Goad earrings since 2018, pairing them with everything from wool coat dresses for formal church services to a lime green Self-Portrait dress at Wimbledon.

"The Princess of Wales has always gravitated towards jewelry that feels timeless rather than trend-driven, and these pearl cluster earrings are a perfect example," Oliver Hobart, jewelry expert at 925E, tells Marie Claire. "They're distinctive without being overpowering, which is why she can wear them repeatedly without them ever feeling overdone."

Calling the style "a perfect example of the 'quiet luxury' aesthetic," the jewelry pro notes that like my Tuckernuck earrings, shoppers "don't need to invest in an 18-carat designer pair" to get the same look as Kate. As for me, I'll be wearing my new pearls with sundresses and skirts—but come winter, they'll make the perfect accent for a white Christmas.

Zendaya is currently in London to promote the release of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey alongside her husband, Tom Holland. As noted by her stylist, Law Roach, Zendaya captured "the essence of Athena" in a custom Jacquemus dress, in reference to the character she plays in the new movie.

The Euphoria star wore a custom Jacquemus halter gown, featuring a low-cut back, and a subtle back leg split, along with a matching headscarf. Zendaya accessorized the dress with a pair of her favorite Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps in White.

For jewelry, Zendaya wore a striking pair of Glenn Spiro Materials of the Old World Earrings, fashioned to look like ancient gold coins or artifacts, with two Barron Twist Rings.

Following an on-theme press tour for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Zendaya's Odyssey outfit choices are a masterclass in dressing for the job at hand. For instance, the actress has already awakened the gladiator sandal trend and styled a little white dress, which was also giving Grecian vibes.

Basically, if there's a theme to build a roster of outfits around, Roach and Zendaya are always extremely prepared, which is pretty inspirational, tbh.

The most important celebrity wedding of the year is finally here and—unsurprisingly—the guests are all serving utterly superb looks. Case in point: Selena Gomez just wore a little black naked dress to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding rehearsal dinner, which will be hard to beat.

Swift and Gomez have been friends for a long time and it's clear that the Only Murders in the Building star understood the assignment. For the July 2 wedding rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden, Gomez opted for a strapless black dress from Oscar de la Renta, featuring a subtly naked design with sheer panels creating a nearly-nude effect, and a leg split.

Gomez's stylist, Erin Walsh, shared photos of the jaw-dropping outfit on Instagram, along with credits. The Oscar de la Renta dress was accessorized with Jimmy Choo heels and jewelry from Fernando Jorge.

Last year, Gomez paid tribute to Swift during the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit. "She's one of the most brilliant people I've ever met," the Rare Beauty founder shared (via People). "She is very strong in her lane, and she gives great advice all the time."

Gomez continued, "I'm not sure what I would say I've done for her other than been there as a friend."

As for the best advice Swift had given her, Gomez explained, "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room." The "Opalite" singer's words appear to have stayed with Gomez for a long time, as she shared, "You have to learn and not be afraid of all the things that you might lose out on."

One thing's for sure: Gomez is going to struggle to outdo her own wedding rehearsal dinner outfit for Swift's actual nuptials on July 3.

Serena Williams and Anna Kournikova both wore engagement rings the size of a tennis ball during Wimbledon matches past. That said, there’s a precedent for Aryna Sabalenka to sport over 60 carats of diamonds and emeralds during her first Wimbledon 2026 match.

On June 29, the Belarusian athlete returned to London's Centre Court with a new, bespoke set of good luck charms. Wimbledon's grass courts and Sabalenka's birthstone inspired New York-based jewelry brand Material Good to sculpt each of her yellow gold sparklers around emerald gemstones.

First, the Aryna Axis Necklace emerged from beneath Sabalenka's sleeveless, stark-white tennis dress from the NikeCourt Heritage collection. 41 chocolate brown, diamond ovals encircled the nape of her neck, accented by ten heart-shaped emerald charms.

Since Wimbledon's all-white dress code doesn't say anything about jewelry, Sabalenka said, "Why not?" to matching earrings. She selected coordinating brown diamond studs for her earring stack, accented with heart-shaped emerald charms underneath. Together, the oval and heart pair retails for $47,200.

Contrary to Williams and Kournikova, Sabalenka left her four-month-old engagement ring in her locker. A crater-sized, 14-carat diamond as large as Williams's might've impacted her Grand Slam-winning serve. Instead, 27 bezel-set emeralds around the heels of her Nike Vapor 12 sneakers tapped into the anklet trend. According to Material Good, the $32,700 Aryna Axis marks the label's first foray into anklet designing.

This year, Material Good has become an essential part of Sabalenka's pre-match ritual. She styled custom jewelry suites from the brand during the 2026 Australian Open and the 2026 French Open. Earlier this month, she made headlines at Stade Roland-Garros for competing in over 200 carats of diamonds and garnets from Material Good.

“Diamonds, I don’t really feel the heaviness, but I can imagine how it looks from the outside,” Sabalenka told reporters. “So I feel pretty comfortable. For me, it’s important to look good.”

200 carats of rich red garnets are so valuable, you'd have to request the price tag directly from Material Good. Her cushion-cut earrings, on the other hand, are available right now for $12,500.

Since Oakberry CEO Georgios Frangulis proposed to Sabalenka in March 2026, she's occasionally worn her engagement ring during matches. The oval-shaped diamond made its tennis debut at March's BNP Paribas Open in California. "It feels pretty comfy," she revealed during a press conference. "It feels shiny. I hope that my opponent will get distracted by this diamond and it's going to benefit me."

Perhaps Sabalenka's Material Good gemstones had the same effect at Wimbledon. After all, she did advance to the next Ladies Singles round.

Throughout 2026, Taylor Swift has been channeling minimalism in the majority of her outfits, seemingly leaving Showgirl orange in the past. To promote her new single, "I Knew It, I Knew You," which is taken from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, Swift shared a carousel of snaps on Instagram. In two photos captured in a recording studio, the musician could be seen wearing a tie-dye bodysuit, resurrecting a recently forgotten trend.

Unfortunately, Swift's Agolde Leila Tie-Dye Jersey Bodysuit has long since sold out, but the singer's endorsement is likely to inspire the tie-dye trend to restart. The "Red" singer paired the bodysuit with a pair of high-waisted jeans, worn with a brown leather belt.

For earrings, Swift wore a pair of Nouvel Heritage Monday Morning Mood Hoops in Yellow Gold. The singer could also be seen wearing two chain necklaces, along with her Darlene de Sedle 22k Gold and Opal Diamond Ring from Elizabeth Taylor's estate.

Swift's tie-dye moment is the latest in a long line of stylish outings, which are bound to inspire Swifties to expand their own closets. Earlier this week, the singer spent some time at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, entering the recording studio in barrel-leg jeans and an ivory-and-tan polo sweater from Gigi Hadid's knitwear label, Guest In Residence.

Basically, regardless of where she is, Swift's style is always a huge point of focus, as well as a sign of trends to come.

Princess Kate captured everyone's attention when she arrived for the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle on June 15, 2026. As well as embracing Summer 2026's butter yellow trend in a custom Patrick McDowell brocade coat dress, the Princess of Wales subtly referenced her royal wedding.

For Garter Day—a Royal Family tradition which recognizes the achievements of British people and inducts them into a special Order—Princess Kate rewore her wedding day earrings.

Per The Court Jeweler, Princess Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, commissioned British jeweler Robinson Pelham to create the diamond earrings as a wedding gift.

At the time of her nuptials, it was reported that the earrings consisted of "diamond-set stylized oak leaves with a pear-shaped diamond set drop and a pavé set diamond acorn suspended in the center," via Forbes. According to the outlet, the jewels were inspired by the Middleton clan's coat of arms.

Princess Kate's decision to rewear the nostalgic earrings on Garter Day suggests she's subtly paying tribute to her husband, William, and their enduring love story.

Of course, this isn't the first time that the Princess of Wales has reworn her wedding day jewelry. On Easter Sunday in 2019, Kate paired the Robinson Pelham diamond earrings with a blue Alexander McQueen coat dress.

For Garter Day 2026, Princess Kate's earrings perfectly complemented her custom-made butter yellow coat dress from Patrick McDowell.

Notably, the striking dress was constructed from "fabric woven specifically for the princess, who is known for her support of British textiles industries, by Stephen Walters & Sons in Suffolk," Tatler shared.

With Kate's endorsement, it's pretty clear that the celeb-beloved butter yellow trend is about to be everywhere.

Taylor Swift has been making a plethora of appearances in recent weeks, all while fans await news of the singer's upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce. On Saturday, June 13, Swift and Kelce attended a performance of "Oh, Mary!" at The Lyceum Theatre in New York City. For the occasion, the "Opalite" singer turned to the designer of her engagement announcement outfit.

For her Broadway outing, Swift wore a Polo Ralph Lauren Sleeveless Velvet Dress in Bordeaux Red. The sold-out gown features a scoop neckline, tapping into 2026's summer tank dress trend.

Swift accessorized her dress with a pair of Aquazzura's "Love Struck" 105mm Scalloped Strap Metallic Sandals.

Kelce and Swift met members of the "Oh, Mary!" Broadway cast after the show, including Saturday Night Live alum and Loot star Maya Rudolph.

For jewelry, Swift styled her outfit with a Love Adorned Isadora Ring, a Michael Anthony Moon Goddess Pendant, and a Foundrae Diamond Initial "T" Pendant. She also wore two pieces of opal jewelry—an Antique Victorian Opal 14k Gold Diamond Ring and a Danes Road Antiques 18k Opal Estate Bracelet. Not only is opal Kelce's birthstone, but The Life of a Showgirl single "Opalite" ties into Swift's jewelry choices perfectly.

Finally, the singer was seen carrying a Chloé Small Bracelet Grained Leather Hobo Bag as she headed home for the night.
