The Studs That Understood the Assignment

The King of Cool Minimalism – Lewis Hamilton

The F1 legend proved once again that he is the true and undisputed champion of understated luxury. While some were seen donning chandelier-like earrings, Lewis rolled up with allegedly perfect 8-carat diamond studs that whispered, “I am here to make a statement,” and he rightfully did so. Hamilton's look was lauded for its authenticity and adherence to the theme, showcasing his commitment to honoring Black cultural heritage through fashion. 

The F1 legend proved that the quietest flex is the loudest; his stud earrings weren’t just jewelry pieces, they were a whole mood.

The Queen of Quiet Luxury – Zendaya

Zendaya captivated the attendees with her interpretation of the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” embracing the dress code “Tailored for You.” Zendaya said that “less is more” and made us all question our entire existence with perfectly proportioned sparklers. She wore dainty yellow gold stud earrings to be the star of the outfit, perfectly paired with a tailored three-piece ensemble by Louis Vuitton, featuring a blazer, waistcoat, and flared trousers.

Kendall Jenner's 'Are Those Earrings or Modern Art?'

Leave it to Miss Jenner to wear earrings so architectural that they probably required blueprints. Her diamond dangle drops were the perfect example of “What if a chandelier and a disco ball had a baby?”—controversial, breathtaking, and exactly what we expect from someone who breathes haute couture. Her choice of diamond earrings contributed to a cohesive and thoughtful interpretation of the Met Gala 2025 theme. 

Before we move forward, do you guys want to know something exciting? At Friendly Diamonds, we have an earring style that is similar to the one Miss Jenner was seen wearing on the Met Gala red carpet.

Kim K's "Earrings or Contemporary Art?" Situation

Of course, Kim made an appearance with dangles that complemented her edgy outfit but also paid homage to the gala’s celebration of opulence and elegance. If we were to sum up her jewelry choice, we would quote, unquote, say it along the lines of “Kim understands that at the Met Gala, your jewelry shouldn’t just sparkle; it should threaten to upstage the entire event.” Say what you will, but the woman understands that in the diamond arms race, there is no such thing as "too much."

With that being said, if you are feeling just a little bit inspired by her jewelry choice for the Met Gala 2025, we suggest you start building your look with our Sasha Double Halo Lab Diamond Earrings.

Tyla’s ‘I’m here to Slay’ Necklace

Complementing her gown, she adorned herself with a glittering diamond choker. The way it caught the light with every step should be studied by scientists. We're not saying it caused temporary blindness, but we're not ‘not’ saying that either.
