You’re probably still reeling from last week’s deluge of Met Gala celebrity news but after fashion’s biggest night comes television’s biggest night as the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards rolls into not one but two cities. The event streamed ‘live’ from London as well as LA, offering us a sensational evening of flat-out gorgeous style, beauty and jewellery looks. Oh yes, the event may be celebrating the small screen but Emmy Awards jewellery is always big on bling.
From classic to creative, variety was the order of the evening, with red carpet favourites firing on all cylinders to put on a show worth remembering. This year’s must-see jewellery looks include va-va-voom backlaces, fashion and jewellery coordination, beauty and jewellery coordination, ultra-statement earrings, and of course timelessly jaw-dropping precious jewels that never go out of fashion. Here are the 23 must-see celebrity jewellery looks of the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards.
1 / 24
Anya-Taylor Joy
The gorgeous Queen’s Gambit lead actress stole the show with her canary yellow Dior couture gown but Joy looks just as stunning from the back. Proving that it’s not just what you wear but how you wear it, she accessorised her backless dress with a dramatic back-lace consisting of two Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard sautoirs. The Tiffany & Co. ambassador also wore Tiffany diamond earrings, a bracelet, and a natural yellow sapphire gold ring.

Yara Shahidi
Perpetually swathed in Cartier jewels, the Black-ish actress perfectly complemented her off-shoulder Dior haute couture gown with adorable yet uber-luxe Cactus de Cartier high jewellery necklace featuring emeralds and diamonds, plus matching earrings in 18K gold and diamonds. She completed her look with two Écrou de Cartier rings.

Moses Ingram
Someone please tell Moses Ingram that she looked a-ma-zing on the Emmys red carpet. That chain ponytail was absolutely genius—just the right amount of edge—and a hundred per cent on point. Add to that those fabulous diamond chandelier earrings by Italian jeweller, Gismondi, for the perfect glam-rock vibe.
4 / 24
Billy Porter
He was all decked out in black but Porter had no intention of flying under the radar. The Cinderella actor simply doesn’t do understated, and this time he lets his jewellery—and fabulous personality—do all the talking, pulling out all the stops with Lorraine Schwartz ear cuffs, bracelets, a diamond and emerald necklace, and multiple diamond rings.
5 / 24
Michaela Coel
Coel definitely owned her top-to-toe fluorescent yellow look courtesy of Christopher John Rogers but her jewellery game was equally strong as she contrasted a baguette diamond line necklace and a diamond paved cigar ring both by Beverly Hills jeweller Anne Sisteron with a pair of gold and baroque pearl earrings from Alighieri.
6 / 24
Issa Rae
We never thought we’d see diamond-set teeth grills on the Emmys red carpet but Issa Rae was sure she wanted a megawatt smile, so here we are. Those Fernando Jorge Disco earrings on the other hand are a welcome sight any day of the week, and a perfect match to the actress’ glittery Aliette dress.
7 / 24
Elisabeth Olsen
The WandaVision star appeared in a creamy white dress designed by her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen via their luxury brand The Row, and elevated her look with high jewellery pieces by Chopard including chandelier earrings featuring over 68 carats of diamonds set in ultralight titanium.

MJ Rodriguez
Wearing an aqua-blue custom Atelier Versace the Pose actor completed her look with a statement diamond choker by Bulgari.
9 / 24
Samira Wiley
That hair, that suit, those stilettos… everything was right about Samira Wiley’s Emmys red carpet look. Her sideswept curls and shaved undercut were totally ready for those oversized hoop earrings by cultured diamonds jewellery label, Lark & Berry.
10 / 24
Cynthia Erivo
Believe it or not, this is one of Erivo’s more lowkey looks. Her white Louis Vuitton feathered gown is paired with a diamond choker, earrings, and rings from modern Italian jeweller, Roberto Coin.
11 / 24
Beanie Feldstein
Beanie Feldstein’s shimmery Brandon Maxwell dress was a perfect match with her earrings, which are from New York jeweller, Briony Raymond, and feature natural fancy pink diamonds along with classic white diamonds.

Dressed in a deep red strapless gown by Cristina Ottaviano, Zeta-Jones accessorised with exquisite diamond jewellery by Lorraine Schwartz. Check out those sumptuous rose-cut gems, which are impossible not to fall in love with.

23 / 24
Ariel Dumas
Ariel Dumas’ Badgley Mischka dress may be fuchsia and red, but her accessories are a bold cerulean blue. Those shoulder-dusting floral petal earrings are all about standing out, not blending in.
