Jewellery that'll make you go, "Wow!"

1/11

For someone as limelight-shy and spotlight-aversed as Rei Kawakubo - the subject of the Costume Institute’s current retrospective - diamonds may seem inappropriate at the Met Gala 2017.

But hey, it’s a gala, and there’s a red carpet - some bling can be forgiven, especially if it’s spotted on the likes of Selena, Bella, Kate and Lupita.

There’s the long Cartier vintage necklace that actress Kate Bosworth had worn backwards, complementing her backless custom-made Tory Burch gown (major old Hollywood glam there!).

Elsewhere, a pair of Chopard crescent diamond earrings was seen hanging delicately on Brazilian model Adriana Lima’s earlobes.

Actress and singer Selena Gomez opted for a Tiffany & Co. vintage choker necklace which exuded major #BadGirl vibes to contrast her fairy-like gown by Coach.

That’s not all. We’ve rounded up some of the most bedazzling jewels spotted on the Met Gala 2017 red carpet for your viewing pleasure. In other words, #DiamondPorn.

Miranda Kerr wearing Cartier

Why wear only one bracelet when you can wear more? That’s the cue that Miranda Kerr took at last evening’s Met Gala.

The model was seen stacking several Cartier vintage bracelets (1926 and 1929) in platinum and diamonds.

To glam things up, she also wore a set of Cartier vintage earrings (1934) in platinum, 18k white gold and diamonds, as well as a Cartier ring in platinum, ruby, diamonds and onyx.

Julianne Moore wearing Chopard

10/11

It may be hard to tell but Julianne Moore’s earrings are in fact made up of 114.36-carats of yellow and orange sapphire briolettes, 4.61-carats of diamond briolettes and 0.38-carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold.

In short, they were the perfect companions for her colourful and feathery Calvin Klein dress.
