Millions of dollars and handmade: the most luxurious jewelry of the stars

Diamonds, rubies, emeralds and other "girls' best friends" are in our selection of the most expensive jewelry "masterpieces" in which celebrities were released.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga went to receive her first Oscar in all its glory - a long black dress with bare shoulders from Alexander McQueen, high leather gloves, elegantly styled hair and a diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co worth (!) $ 30 million. In the center of the jewelery composition shone a yellow diamond weighing 128 carats with a rich history of more than a century. Before Lady Gaga, only two women wore it - the socialite Mrs. Mary Whitehouse and the actress Audrey Hepburn, who appeared in it on the set of posters for the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Julia Roberts

At the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, all the eyes of the guests and the paparazzi were riveted on Julia Roberts. This is due to the luxurious decoration that the star put on for the premiere of the film "Financial Monster". The Chopard platinum necklace with diamonds weighing 43, 41 carats and emeralds weighing 52, 76 carats emphasized the graceful neck of the actress and gave grace and charm to a simple dress along with a black dress. This exit will not be forgotten by the stars!

James Franco and other stars who love to joke

Franco can be called the most eccentric inhabitant of Hollywood. And there is something for that: he announces his wedding with Lana Del Rey, then he calls himself a robot, then … James is the director of "invisible cinema" (he made a film in his head). An eternal student, a lover of candid selfies, the worst Oscar presenter in history - with whatever nicknames James Franco was awarded for his 18-year career. However, all the offensive nicknames only amuse the artist, who continues to flirt with the paparazzi and gossips. The absence of a permanent girlfriend raises many questions from reporters. The behavior of Franco, who periodically kisses men in films and on television, is also suspicious. For example, in a parody of Kanye West's video Bound 2, he hugs his best friend Seth Rogan, and in the Spring Break Anthem video of the comic group The Lonely Island, Franco exchanged wedding vows with comedian Akiva Shaffer.

Adriana Lima

But the main highlight of the Cannes Film Festival in 2018 was the appearance of Adriana Lima, whose neck was adorned with a massive Chopard necklace with diamonds and sapphires. Against the background of blue stones, the model's eyes looked even more expressive, and the lips, which she emphasized with scarlet lipstick, brighter. In order not to "interrupt" the necklace, the star decided not to be smart with the outfit and preferred a laconic dress without straps in a delicate powdery shade.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez first attended the Cannes Film Festival in 2019 - for her debut, the star chose a truly luxurious outfit. She complemented the elegant white dress with Louis Vuitton straps with a platinum diamond necklace from Bvlgari weighing almost 100 carats. I wonder what image the singer will choose when she decides to visit Cannes again - it will definitely not be easy for her to surpass the first impression.

Bella Hadid

Fashion critics will argue for a very long time about whether Bella Hadid's stylists guessed with the outfit or not, but one thing is obvious - the model's luxurious necklace overshadowed her with its brilliance. The massive Bvlgari jewelery with a huge 180-carat sapphire reminiscent of the legendary Heart of the Ocean worn by the heroine Rose Dawson in Titanic. Only in this case, the shape of the stone is rectangular, which makes it even more weighty in appearance.

Ann Hataway

This modest at first glance necklace cost Anne Hathaway (!) 10 million dollars! A 94-carat diamond from Tiffany & Co adorned the actress's neck at the 2011 Academy Awards, where she co-hosted with James Franco. It is not surprising that the star decided to boo so - the reason was worth it.

Rihanna

For the 2014 Diamond Ball, Rihanna chose a truly royal outfit - a pink Zac Posen satin dress that bare the shoulders, and a Chopard platinum necklace with a 123, 24 carat pink rubelite and 65 carat diamonds. With such a "set" the title of the queen of the ball was guaranteed to the singer!

Sofia Vergara

At the 2013 Emmy Awards, Sofia Vergara wore luxurious Lorraine Schwartz earrings and rings with 161 carats of precious stones. This set cost the actress $ 7 million. The star's earrings were adorned with rubies, sapphires and Colombian emeralds, while the rings featured a huge, 40-carat Colombian emerald and a 21-carat diamond.

Monica Bellucci

The necklace that Monica Bellucci wore at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival has a rich history. In 1975, the famous Mexican actress Maria Felix turned to the Cartier boutique - she asked the jewelers to create a necklace for her in the form of two crocodiles entwining each other (the actress kept a live crocodile as a pet, which explained her request). Before her death, she decided to sell part of her jewelry collection, so Cartier bought the necklace back.

The next time it "came out" only in 2006 - Monica Bellucci put it on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, decorating it with a white shirt. 13 years later, the actress came out wearing a similar necklace, which was created in the likeness of what was once made by order of Maria Felix.

Carrie Underwood

At the Grammy Awards, Carrie Underwood appeared in a luxurious necklace decorated with diamonds by Jonathan Arndt, which cost her $ 31 million! The total weight of the stones was 381 carats, which is an absolute record for the prize. The singer even joked that her jewelry deserves more attention than herself …
