The 2026 Golden Globes Jewelry Report: A Night of Diamond Dominance and Botanical Brooches
Jan. 13, 2026 — If the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards proved anything, it is that Hollywood’s love affair with high jewelry is burning brighter than ever. On January 11, the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, transformed into a veritable treasure chest, with film and television’s elite offering a masterclass in gemstone styling. While the fashion was fierce, it was the jewelry—specifically the resurgence of antique cuts, the explosion of colored diamonds, and the undeniable dominance of the brooch—that truly defined the first major red carpet of the 2026 awards season.
The evening was a “bejeweled bonanza,” a subdued yet sophisticated showcase where the world’s most prestigious maisons—Cartier, Bulgari, Boucheron, and Tiffany & Co.—competed for the spotlight. While host Nikki Glaser kept the room in stitches with her razor-sharp, well-timed opening monologue (we forgive her bare neck only because her wit was so cutting), the sartorial story of the night was one of contrasts.
A note to the stylists for next year: While the “less is more” approach had its moments, we saw far too many bare necks and unadorned lapels from heavy hitters like Sheryl Lee Ralph, Selena Gomez, and Jean Smart. With the resources of the Place Vendôme at your fingertips, next year calls for bolder choices. However, for those who did indulge, the results were nothing short of spectacular.
Here is the definitive rundown of the best bling from a star-studded night in Beverly Hills.
The Brooch Renaissance: Men Lead the Charge
The biggest takeaway from the 2026 Golden Globes was not a necklace or an earring, but the definitive arrival of the “brooch party.” The leading men of Hollywood have officially embraced lapel jewelry, moving beyond simple pins into complex, high-art territory.
Colman Domingo and the Boucheron Exclusive
Boucheron recently announced the dashing Colman Domingo as a Friend of the Maison, and if Sunday night was any indication, this is the beginning of a beautiful, diamond-encrusted friendship. Domingo did not just wear jewelry; he curated a moment. He was granted exclusivity to wear brooches from the maison’s highly anticipated Histoire de Style High Jewelry collection.
The brand has stated these pieces will not be officially unveiled to the public until January 26 during Paris Couture Week, making Domingo’s lapel a global debut. The intricate, nature-inspired pieces cascaded down his suit, proving that men’s jewelry can be as delicate as it is powerful. To anchor the look, he accessorized with a Boucheron Quatre Black Edition large ring paved with diamonds in white gold, a classic Quatre Black Edition ring, and an edgy Quatre Radiant Edition single ear clip, adding a modern punk twist to his black-tie elegance.
Paul W. Downs Brings Nature to the Red Carpet
Another victory for the House of Boucheron came courtesy of Hacks star Paul W. Downs. His role on the hit show is endearing, but his style game on Sunday was commanding. Downs embraced the evening’s botanical theme by wearing the Roseau brooch from the Histoire de Style: Untamed Nature High Jewelry collection. The piece, an exquisite interpretation of a reed swaying in the wind, was fully paved with diamonds and set in white gold, popping beautifully against his dark tuxedo. It was a lesson in how a single, well-chosen accessory can elevate an entire ensemble.
The Rock’s Iced-Out “Frozen Summit”
Nikki Glaser may have referred to him as “The Rock,” but Dwayne Johnson’s jewelry was the real geological wonder of the night. Nominated for his dramatic turn in The Smashing Machine, Johnson went full-tilt glamour with Chopard. His lapel featured a massive 18k white gold brooch set with white diamonds, but the true showstopper was on his wrist.
Johnson selected the Alpine Eagle Frozen Summit timepiece. This limited-edition watch—one of only eight in existence—is a horological masterpiece in 18k white gold, completely set with 29.02 carats of diamonds. He didn’t stop there; his fingers flashed with a 4.14-carat diamond ring and a 3.66-carat diamond ring, both from Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie Collection. Even his pinky ring, a piece from the Ice Cube collection, and his steel cufflinks were perfectly calculated to catch the flashbulbs.
A Masterclass in Colored Gemstones
While white diamonds are a girl’s best friend, 2026 is shaping up to be the year of the colored gemstone. From deep emeralds to ocean-blue sapphires, color was the ultimate power move.
Ryan Destiny’s Sapphire Symphony
Chopard delivered the color we were collectively craving via the stunning Ryan Destiny. The actress, celebrating her role in The Fire Inside, looked like royalty in a suite of jewelry that can only be described as breathtaking. The brand confirmed that the Detroit native chose a statement necklace from the Haute Joaillerie Collection crafted in 18k white and rose gold.
The piece featured a staggering 57.09 carats of white diamonds entwined with 73.7 carats of sapphires, creating a cascade of blue and white fire around her neck. She paired this with matching earrings featuring 4.05 carats of diamonds and a ring from the L’Heure du Diamant Collection boasting another 2.39 carats. It was a look that felt both classic and incredibly fresh.
Miley Cyrus and the 15-Carat Emerald
You have to admire Miley Cyrus. Her fashion evolution over the years has been a wild ride, but for the 2026 Golden Globes, she went strictly classic—with a twist. Wearing a plunging black gown by Saint Laurent (designed by Anthony Vaccarello), she allowed her jewelry to take center stage.
Tiffany & Co. provided the night’s most envious “green” moment. Cyrus wore a pendant necklace in platinum featuring an unenhanced emerald of over 15 carats. In the world of gemology, “unenhanced” is the keyword here; a stone of that size and clarity without oil treatment is incredibly rare. She finished the look with Tiffany diamond studs and a Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. Sixteen Stone ring, proving that sometimes, one massive gemstone is all you need to silence the room.
The Tiffany & Co. Takeover
Tiffany & Co. had a banner night, dressing some of the evening’s most talked-about stars and blending their legendary archives with their contemporary icons.
Teyana Taylor’s “Party in the Back” Moment
Perhaps the most viral moment of the broadcast occurred when Teyana Taylor took the stage to accept the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. From the front, she was the picture of Old Hollywood elegance. Taylor dug into the Tiffany & Co. Archives for a pair of gold and palladium earrings featuring diamonds and colored diamonds dating back to the 1940s. She stacked a Tiffany Victoria mixed cluster bracelet and multiple Jean Schlumberger rings for added sparkle.
But then, she turned around. In a cheekily iconic moment, Taylor acknowledged her Schiaparelli gown—an asymmetrical cut-out bustier in draped black satin—and its exposed rear, quipping, “See my party in the back.” As she shook a tail feather, the juxtaposition of 1940s archive jewelry with a 2026 rhinestone thong created the kind of fashion chaos that awards shows are made for.
The “Heated Rivalry” Duo: Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams
The stars of HBO Max’s smash hit adaptation of Heated Rivalry made their A-list status undeniable. Connor Storrie, the new swoon-worthy heartthrob, seemed to announce his arrival in the big leagues by wearing one of the most iconic brooches in history: the Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. Bird on a Rock. Storrie’s version featured a massive 13-plus carat diamond, a serious flex for a rising star. He curated a full Tiffany look, adding Tiffany T T1 earrings, a Tiffany Lock bangle, a Tiffany Union Square watch, and a Tiffany Knot ring.
His co-star and on-screen better half, Hudson Williams, opted for the Roman grandeur of Bulgari. Complementing Storrie’s icy look, Williams wore the iconic Serpenti necklace, the snake motif coiling around his neck in a symbol of eternal rebirth and seduction, perfectly matching the lusty energy of their show.
Vintage Glamour and Unique Finds
Beyond the big houses, several stars opted for vintage dealers and bespoke designers to create looks that felt personal and unique.
Antique Diamonds and Hidden Gems
For “Best in Show” in terms of uniqueness, Zoë Kravitz takes the prize. She bypassed necklaces entirely to adorn her hair with bespoke diamond hairpins by Jessica McCormack, creating a look that was ethereal and modern. Meanwhile, Diane Lane added a touch of whimsy with a buzzy bee brooch by Lagos, and Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne represented the organization in Martin Katz jewels. Her kunzite and diamond pavé drop earrings in 18k white gold were the perfect pop of pink for the occasion.
The vintage lovers were well-fed by the choices of Succession alum Sarah Snook and Kumail Nanjiani. Snook wore a platinum ring from Fred Leighton featuring a 5.5-carat Old European–cut diamond dating back to the 1930s—a cut known for its deep, candlelit sparkle. Nanjiani, always a style risk-taker, glowed in a 1920s Cartier diamond and platinum Jabot brooch, also sourced from Fred Leighton, proving that the Art Deco era remains timeless.
The Pre-Show Showstopper: Helen Mirren
Finally, we must mention a look that technically happened before the telecast but set the bar for the entire night. At the inaugural “Golden Eve” ceremony in Beverly Hills, where she accepted the 2026 Cecil B. DeMille Award, Dame Helen Mirren was a vision in Margot McKinney.
Mirren wore the dazzling Bloem collier, a masterpiece of color and scale. The necklace features eight significant tourmalines totaling 240.56 carats, anchored by a massive 65.85-carat tourmaline at the center. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the piece is strung with 27 large Australian South Sea baroque pearls and accented with a kaleidoscope of white and brown diamonds, pink tourmaline, amethyst, rubellite, and sapphires in blue, pink, and purple. It was a regal, maximalist statement that reminded everyone why she is, and always will be, the Queen of the red carpet.
