Met Gala 2025: Diamonds, Dandyism, and Detailed Elegance

The Met Gala has long been the pinnacle of high fashion and unprecedented design and 2025 was no exception. This year’s blue carpet was a cumulation of extraordinary gemstones, bold brooches, and heirloom-level pieces. At Springer’s Jewelers, where we've celebrated fine craftsmanship since 1870, we’re spotlighting the most unforgettable jewelry moments that blend Met Gala glamour with the artistry we cherish.

The 2025 Theme: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and the Power of Personal Adornment

This year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, celebrated the artistry, elegance, and cultural significance of Black fashion - especially the legacy of Black dandyism. With a dress code titled “Tailored for You”, guests were encouraged to express individuality through structure, embellishment, and impeccable styling.

Jewelry played a key role in this narrative of self-expression. In Black dandy tradition, accessories are more than embellishments—they are declarations of identity, sophistication, and defiance of societal norms. From brooches and diamond umbrellas to stacked necklaces and statement ear cuffs, the blue carpet became a runway for reimagining fashion in the vision of expert tailors and black dandyism. 

Men in particular leaned into high jewelry with purpose and precision: Coleman Domingo, ASAP Rocky, and Lewis Hamilton each told powerful style stories through their use of legacy brands and cutting-edge pieces. This year, sparkle wasn’t just style, it was substance.

Priyanka Chopra’s 241-Carat Emerald Showstopper

Few looks could compete with Priyanka Chopra’s breathtaking 241-carat emerald necklace by Bulgari. A combination of vivid green stones, this piece balanced classic elegance with a fresh, modern twist.

Kim Kardashian’s Diamond Stack 

Kim Kardashian kept things edgy with stacked diamond necklaces by Moussaieff Jewelers, layering brilliance with signature confidence. This maximalist approach reminded us that sometimes more is, in fact, more (especially on fashion’s biggest night).

Halle Berry's Cartier Craftsmanship

Halle Berry adorned herself with the Cartier Tsagaan snow leopard diamond necklace, a one-of-a-kind piece from Cartier's High Jewelry collection. This exquisite necklace features over 31 carats of diamonds and 3.74 carats of onyx, requiring more than 1,455 hours to craft. The necklace's geometric design and the contrast between onyx and white gold resonated with the evening's theme, emphasizing meticulous attention to detail. 

Laura Harrier’s Buccellati Elegance

Laura Harrier graced the carpet in ornate Buccellati jewellery, showcasing a woven pearl choker that expertly complements her custom Zac Posen and GAP billowing cream suit. 

Men Took the Spotlight in High Jewelry

From brooches to bespoke neckpieces, the men made serious style statements this year:

  • Chance the Rapper wore three striking Tiffany & Co. brooches bringing a classic touch of floral inspired sparkle to his ensemble.

  • ASAP Rocky turned heads in a Bvlgari high jewelry necklace and brooch, paired with Alex Moss pieces and a custom diamond-set umbrella by Briony Raymond, a luxurious nod to performance and presence and maybe a certain trial asfans suspect.

  • Lewis Hamilton blended artistry and style with a Briony Raymond brooch on his beret, Asscher-cut diamond studs, and pieces by Snow Diamonds, proving that men’s jewelry can be both powerful and poetic.

Spotlight on Our Designers

At Springer’s, we’re proud to carry the work of some of the same iconic designers seen on the Met Gala red carpet:

  • Kwiat: Seen on FKA Twigs and Nicole Scherzinger, Kwiat’s diamond creations never fail to exude elegance and radiance.

  • Marco Bicego: Mindy Kaling brought a touch of Italian artistry to the evening with Marco’s signature hand-engraved textures.

Emerging Trends

  • Brooch Renaissance: Brooches made a significant comeback, with stars like Zendaya, Cardi B, and Colin Kaepernick incorporating them into their ensembles, showcasing them as symbols of elegance and personal expression. 

  • Cultural Homage & Ethical Sourcing: Janelle Monáe embraced Black dandyism with a Thom Browne suit and an ethical diamond brooch made from 1800 Tequila’s Cristalino tequila, symbolizing a conscious shift toward sustainable fashion.
