The sighting: Musical artist and actress Jennifer Lopez chose a glamorous backless gown with a plunging neckline for 67th Annual Grammy Awards Pre-Grammy Gala. But we couldn’t focus on anything except that boulder of a diamond hanging from her neck. Let’s discuss!
The jewels: Lopez’s diamond necklace was by Harry Kotlar. According to the Daily Mail, the necklace featured 182 total carats of diamonds, including a cushion-cut diamond of staggering size, and was valued at $25 million when Celine Dion wore it in in the 2018 music video for her song “Ashes.”
I really enjoyed the design of this Harry Kotlar necklace: Rather than taking the form of a traditional rivière with a pedant attached, it had an asymmetrical Y-shape that felt more like a modified lariat. It was a cool way to add some visual interest to the upper part of the design without taking any focus away from that incredible cushion cut.
Lopez accessorized the major statement necklace with a pair of cascading diamond earrings by Etho Maria, as well as some diamond rings that were difficult to see clearly in the photos.
The trends: This was days before Sabrina Carpenter wore a white gold Chopard necklace with 50-carat diamond on the Grammys red carpet, so I think we might have a mini-trend of white gold and diamond necklaces with enormous center stones in progress! It takes three to make a trend, so keep an eye out for another example.
What do we think? This is over the top diva glamour at its finest! If I ever met Lopez in person and she wasn’t wearing something like this, I would be disappointed.
It brings me great joy when celebrities pair earrings with major statement necklaces (there are too many naked lobes on red carpets for my liking) and Lopez absolutely did that here. The Etho Maria earrings and the major Harry Kotlar necklace provided a glorious contrast to the A-lister’s revealing gown and pulled-back hair.
Judgement: 18/10 for Jenny from the block’s giant rock.
