YARA SHAHIDI WORE pieces exemplifying Cartier’s take on modernity, with a blend of luxury and cutting-edge design, to the London world premiere of Peter Pan and Wendy, in which she plays Tinkerbell. The live-action film is based on the animated 1953 film Peter Pan, a Walt Disney Pictures production directed by David Lowery.
Known for her role as the youngest daughter in the TV show “Blackish” and for her roles in film, Shahidi glimmered in an Alexander McQueen dress that featured a shimmering fringed hem and cutouts. In the photo above it was raining, and I assume she borrowed the black jacket to help her stay dry.
Cartier High Jewelry earrings
The Cartier earrings and ring provided just the right amount of jewels with the gown. While they may have seemed a departure for the jewelry house, if you look closely, they blended a range of techniques and periods into innovative designs.
The Cartier High Jewelry earrings, which featured 18K yellow gold, a center topaz, onyx, yellow, orange and white diamonds, combined the Art Deco inspiration the company is known for with a symbolic winged motif and a mosaic of stones. This is just the type of jewelry we want to see today—artistic but versatile, couture-inspired but wearable.
Shahida wore the earrings with a Les Berlingots de Cartier ring set in 18K yellow gold with a three-dimensional onyx (it also comes in other colors). It was finished with pyramid-shaped tips with diamond accents.

The jewels were just the type we like to see coming out of the centuries-old legendary houses. Cartier has always kept up with the times, and this jewelry is no exception. As for Shahidi, she wore it all well, and it’s no wonder she has also become an ambassador for the brand.
