The Jewelry Trends Dominating 2025 Red Carpets

I’ve always said the red carpet is where jewelry gets to play the leading role, and 2025 has been a dazzling act so far. From the Grammys to the Oscars, this year’s trends are bold, personal, and a little rebellious—perfect for a night of glamour. Let’s dive into the jewelry trends that have stolen the spotlight, with a few A-listers showing us how it’s done.

First, the backward necklace is having a moment, and I’m here for it. At the 2025 Grammys, Sabrina Carpenter turned heads in a light blue JW Anderson gown, pairing it with a long Chopard necklace worn in reverse—a 50-carat stunner that draped down her back, as seen in this Harper’s Bazaar coverage. Margaret Qualley followed suit at the Oscars, her black velvet Chanel dress with a low back made even more striking by a Chanel necklace featuring a diamond center stone that sparkled against her spine.

Drop necklaces are another trend commanding attention. At the 2025 Oscars, Doja Cat wore a massive Messika yellow diamond drop necklace, its single gem dripping from a gold chain like liquid sunshine. Bruna Marquezine also embraced the style with a waterfall necklace of gradient-sized diamonds, while Raye matched her red gown with a sizzling ruby drop from Lorraine Schwartz, channeling Old Hollywood with a modern edge.

Statement brooches are making a comeback too, especially for the men. Oscar winner Adrien Brody turned heads at the Academy Awards with a feather-patterned brooch from Elsa Jin, pinned to his lapel—a subtle yet eye-catching detail. Finally, lab-grown diamonds are shining bright. Pamela Anderson wore a 68-carat lab-grown diamond necklace at the 2025 BAFTAs, paired with a custom Jacquemus gown, proving sustainable can be stunning. These trends are all about personality—whether it’s flipping a necklace or pinning a brooch, 2025 is for the bold. What’s your favorite red carpet look? Live bright.
