The red carpet at Cannes—the glittering film festival that takes over the resort town’s famous Croisette each spring—has been the scene of some spectacular jewellery moments over the years. Gargantuan diamonds and precious gems are a hallmark of the event, shimmering against film stars’ collarbones or snaking around their wrists.
From the suite of Chopard emeralds and diamonds that Rihanna wore to the ceremony in 2017, to the show stopping Sabyasachi necklace Deepika Padukone wore in 2022, and Sophia Loren’s glamorous jewels from way back in 1955, Vogue highlights some of the best jewellery ever seen at Cannes.
