Venice Film Festival 2025: Jewels That Stole The Spotlight

This year, the Venice Film Festival 2025 elevated that spectacle to a whole new level. Stars arrived adorned in jewels that didn’t just accessorize their gowns, they told stories. Each piece became a character in its own right, capturing attention, reflecting personality, and turning every camera flash into a moment of pure artistry. This season, the Lido was alive with colors and craftsmanship, from fiery spinels and ocean-blue aquamarines to sapphires channeling lagoon core energy. Venice 2025 proved one thing, i.e., jewelry isn’t a background detail but a plot twist.

Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley lit up the red carpet in Bulgari’s Serpenti High Jewelry. The necklace was a daring mosaic layering onyx, chrysoprase, turquoise, spinel, emeralds, and pavé diamonds. It was chaotic in theory but perfection in practice. The serpent has always symbolized transformation and power, whereas on Woodley, it becomes a symbol of confidence, leading to controlled lightning in her graceful presence. 

Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt gave us vintage with an effective path, Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Book jewels with rare red and pink spinels. Against her understated gown, the stones glowed like soft embers, radiating warmth rather than glare. Spinel was often overlooked, mistaken for rubies in past times, but Blunt’s jewels reclaimed their spot in the limelight. The look whispered old Hollywood but still felt modern with a subtle twist.

Mia Goth

Mia Goth turned to classic emeralds, again by Tiffany & Co., their lush green depths have long symbolized rebirth and prosperity, but on Goth, they felt less like accessories and more like a mood. In a festival filled with daring experiments, her emeralds were a reminder that some traditions are timeless, cinematic, and never lose their shine. 

Julia Roberts

When it comes to the art of the effortless red carpet entrance, only a few can match Julia Roberts. This year, she wore Chopard sapphires the way only Julia Roberts can, effortlessly. The gems recalled centuries of royal patronage, yet on Roberts they felt disarmingly modern. Her look reminded the audience why she remains a cultural touchstone, the real elegance doesn’t need to try too hard, it just is.

Riley Keough

Riley Keough delivered a true showstopper in Cartier’s Cafayate necklace. Crafted with Umba Sapphires in fiery sunset shades, the piece was adorned by opals that shimmered with every camera flash. It was a piece of jewelry that seemed alive, a living artwork, and a golden-hour energy. 

Nathalie Emmanuel

Nathalie Emmanuel embraced the lagoon spirit with Chopard’s Temptations Earrings. Aquamarines and sapphires fell in fluid forms, like she carried the Venetian waters with her. The effect was neither overbearing nor minimal; instead, it felt in tune with the festival’s location, a reminder that jewelry can also carry place and atmosphere within its design.

Emma Corrin

Emma Corrin debuted new creations from Cartier’s new Géométrie & Contrastes fine jewelry collection, wearing a ring and earrings in yellow and white gold with onyx and diamonds. The jewels spoke of confidence and individuality, an approach that has defined Corrin’s growing reputation for reshaping red-carpet codes.

Sadie Sink

Sadie Sink went in the opposite direction of minimal, restrained, and leaned toward precision. The purpose of her jewelry was to accentuate her rising poise rather than to steal the show in the photos. Sink dazzled in Bvlgari emerald and diamond jewels, a platinum necklace, matching earrings, and a statement ring, striking the perfect balance of elegance and bold color on the Venice red carpet.

Georgina Rodríguez 

Georgina Rodríguez made a dazzling statement at the Venice Film Festival 2025, wearing a Cartier rose-gold ring adorned with diamonds and rubies. She appeared in a rose-gold ring ablaze with rubies and diamonds, unapologetically bold. Every gesture caught the light; every photograph reinforced the image of someone entirely at home in the realm of spectacle. Hers was glamour without compromise, a performance designed for the flash of the lens.

As a jury member, Dao chose Cartier jade, onyx, and quartz, creating a balance between heritage and modern luxury. It was refined rather than ostentatious, proof that true sophistication rarely needs to shout.

Fernanda Torres

Fernanda Torres rekindled the spirit of the panther, Cartier’s emblem, with the Panthère earrings (2005) and Panthère Massai ring in yellow gold, set with diamonds, sapphires, and onyx. On the Venice Film Festival red carpet, the combination appeared both strong and gentle, like the graceful yet spirited steps of a ferocious creature in the night.

Emma Stone

At the Venice Film Festival 2025, Stone wore Louis Vuitton. She chose a perception ring featuring a 1.07 carat LV monogram star-cut diamond, with the rupture earrings, each with nine 2.33 carat orange zircons. The jewelry added a splash of vibrant colors and sparkle, which complemented rather than giving an overdone look.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph

Da’Vine Joy Randolph rocked Chopard’s Precious Lace earrings and a pear-shaped yellow diamond ring that looked like it swallowed the sun. Randolph’s presence proved jewelry can carry as much narrative power as costume design, luxury worn with joy, confidence, and a touch of audacity.

Lou Lampros

Lou Lampros opted for Tasaki Akoya pearls with diamonds in white gold. Soft, glowing, low-key luxe. The effect was refined, nearly meditative, as if her jewels were an intimate secret, not a public spectacle. It was a reminder that on Venice’s grandest stage, understatement can be its own form of rebellion.

Farhana Bodi

Farhana Bodi brought the drama in a Roberto Coin sapphire and diamond necklace. Lagoon blues, diamond fire, queen energy. By keeping the rest of her styling controlled, Bodi let her jewels take full command of the moment. It was a masterclass in red-carpet maximalism, unapologetic, regal, and impossible to ignore.

Final Thoughts 

The Venice Film Festival 2025 once again proved that the red carpet is as much about jewelry as it is about cinema. Stars like Shailene Woodley proudly displayed bold statements with pieces from Bulgari’s Serpenti collection. Emma Stone wore a beautiful collection of jewelry from Louis Vuitton, while Lou Lampros donned Tasaki pearls for an understated elegance. Fernanda Torres showed self-confidence in Panthère pieces from Cartier. Venice demonstrated to an adoring public how jewelry can frame presence, a mood, and a personality.

This 2025 season on the Lido was brilliant in color, craft, and creativity. Each chain, ring, or earring entered with an individual storyline, and the red carpet allowed the gemstones to become characters and the craft to become an illustrative style of narrative. Venice 2025 not only showed us that jewelry is never just an accessory, but it is another language of fashion, demanding attention for each adornment and telling the story of individual choices. Jewelry has the potential to imprint longer in memory than the snap of a camera.
