THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL traditionally brings on the bling with some serious statement jewels. And this year, the opening and second night of the event were no exception. There were many diamond styles that were awe-inspiring, but for now, let’s focus on three different necklaces on women in three different professions that stood out as modern and ultra chic.
Let’s start with supermodel Taylor Hill, who was wearing perhaps the most jaw-dropping bib necklace that stole the first night’s spotlight of jewels. It’s from the Messika ‘Beyond The Light’ high jewelry collection, and it’s called the Imperial Move necklace. It covered her neck and hit just above her shoulders, coordinating perfectly with her Balmain strapless gown. It was a sight to behold.
Another showstopper was the Chaumet wheat necklace from Le Jardin de Chaumet high jewelry collection that the Saudi entrepreneur Yara Alnamlah wore to the opening ceremony. It was another bib style necklace that featured the iconic motif of the house. This particular style featured an emerald cut diamond drop from the center of the piece. She looked stunning it it with her custom Rami Kadi gown.
On the second evening at Cannes, it was actress Anya Taylor-Joy who wore the ultra-sophisticated and lyrical Tiffany & Co Orchid Curve Necklace from the brand’s Botanica High Jewelry collection with her Dior gown.
All three women pulled off their looks with elegance and grace. I can’t wait to see the jewels to come as the festival continues.
