Jewellery of the 2022 Met Gala
May 3, 2022 • 4 min read
Fashion’s biggest night of the year, the 2022 Met Gala, was held early this month at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The charity event is certainly the one night that is highly anticipated in the fashion world, and you never know what to expect.
Like many jewellers in Sydney and across the globe, we eagerly awaited to watch the event’s guests and what they would wear to the exclusive event. This year’s theme, ‘In America: An Anthology Of Fashion’, focused on gilded glamour and offered ample opportunity for celebrities and their designers to make a statement – and they delivered!
Below we recap the most notable looks and the similar jewellery pieces we have available for you to parade.
Blake Lively
Known for her show-stopping appearances at the Met Gala, Blake Lively lived up to her reputation, marking her entrance with a transformation. As a co-chair for the event with her husband, Lively ascended the red carpet in a geometric gemstone patterned rose floor-length gown, wrapped in sating tie-around skirt.
Capturing all eyes on the carpet, the actress was unwrapped mid-carpet. The discarded bow was removed to reveal a hidden aquamarine skirt and train beneath, while the tossed rose gold gloves revealed matching blue ones. Lively’s ensemble is influenced by the Statue of Liberty herself, as an ode to the New York landmark.
In addition to her breath-taking gown, Lively channelled her inner Lady Liberty and donned a tiara and enchanting three-tier stone drop earrings to complete her look.
Our Pear Green Amethyst, Topaz and Morganite Drop Earrings are a perfect balance in look and design. It even uses similar colours for an earring design that closely resembles Blake’s Met look.
Vanessa Hudgens
Taking to the red carpet in a risqué sheer design, red carpet co-host Vanessa Hudgens wore a black goth-influenced gown. Hudgens’s gown had an exquisite long design with heavy detailing on the bust and a lengthy lacey train extending the back. She graced the carpet as one of the first guests before taking her role in interviews.
Due to her dramatic design, the actress was limited in her jewellery options due to the turtleneck-esque collar. Still managing to accessorise tastefully, the High School Musical alumni opted for a pair of dangling white diamond chandelier-like earrings, a thick bracelet and an exuberant number of dress rings.
If you’re looking to replicate Vanessa’s style, try going heavy on the rings. Multiple tasteful white diamond ring designs make for a great contrast when wearing an all-black ensemble. In our collection of diamond dress rings, you’ll find countless designs that will allow you to shine with your hands doing all the talking!
Mindy Kaling
As fabulous as ever, Mindy Kaling hit the red carpet flaunting a stunning lavender gown to this year’s Met Gala. The daring design featured a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit. Adding to the dramatic impact, floral embellishments sit on either shoulder, releasing a glamorous train to frame the hit tv show creator.
The actress looked as incredibly elegant as ever when she paired her dress with a sophisticated range of jewellery. Kaling selected a stunning range of diamond pieces and highlighted the plunge neck by emphasising the exposed section with a long necklace and pendant. The perfect ensemble was completed with a matching bracelet and ring.
A pendant is a perfect idea to achieve a similar grace look, especially for an exposed décolletage. Our Pear Shape Pink Sapphire Pendant with a Halo makes for a delectable choice if you are looking for a pendant as captivating as Mindy’s. Using the romantic rose gold metal, it is the perfect mixture of white diamonds with a pink sapphire.
