White Hot: 8 Glamorous Jewelry Looks From the Golden Globes

From Zendaya to Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, many stars at the 82nd Golden Globes were wearing white gold or platinum jewelry.

The stars at the 82nd Golden Globes turned away from golden jewels in favor of white metals.

This year’s show, which honors the best in television and movies, took place at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles Sunday night with comedian and actress Nikki Glaser as its host.

While gold jewelry continues to trend for fashion jewelry and also has become more popular for bridal, many of the nominees and hosts wore white gold and platinum on the Golden Globes red carpet.

Here are eight of my favorite looks from the 82nd annual Golden Globes.

Zoe Saldaña styled Cartier’s “Melis” high jewelry necklace and earrings with her Saint Laurent gown while taking home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for the Netflix musical “Emilia Pérez.”

The pieces were designed to resemble a honeycomb, as melis translates to honey in Greek.

The effect was created by using yellow diamond beads and briolette- and brilliant-cut white diamonds, with the drop on the necklace symbolizing a bee, complete with a 2.64-carat, briolette-cut yellow diamond.

The film received 10 nominations, including one for Selena Gomez in the same category as Saldaña, and won Best Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Non-English Language Film, and Best Original Song –Motion Picture.

Cynthia Erivo

Cynthia Erivo walked the red carpet in 18-karat white gold and diamond jewelry by Roberto Coin, alongside jewels of her own.

Her stacked ear included a pair of earrings from Roberto Coin’s “Domino” collection ($4,510), while the “Cinquantasette” ring, seen left, was from the brand’s Haute Couture collection ($35,000).

The star, who recently has been wearing a lot of green to reference her “Wicked” character Elphaba, wore a black dress inspired by the character’s own wardrobe.

However, she included the colors pink and green in her look through her nails, which were adorned with oversized jewels.

Erivo was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for the musical “Wicked.” The film won a Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

Salma Hayek attended the 2025 Golden Globes not as a nominee but as a presenter for the Best Television Series – Drama category, which went to the FX/Hulu series “Shōgun.”

The actress was adorned with more than 300 carats of Colombian emeralds in a necklace, earring, and ring suite by Lorraine Schwartz.

The emeralds were the perfect complement to her green eyeshadow and oxblood-colored Gucci gown.

Abby Elliott, one of the stars of the FX/Hulu series “The Bear,” matched her Irene Neuwirth pearl drop earrings with the pearl straps of her Monique Lhuillier gown.

“The Bear” was nominated for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, leading the TV series nominations with five nods for four different actors.

Margaret Qualley styled her Chanel gown with a pair of statement chandelier earrings—a trend on Sunday night’s red carpet—and a ring by Chanel.

Qualley was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for the film “The Substance,” with her co-star Demi Moore winning Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for the movie.

It was announced last month that Chanel will receive the 2025 Gem Award for High Jewelry Excellence for its “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection.

A Bulgari ambassador and a regular on all the best dressed lists, Zendaya sported diamond and Paraiba tourmaline jewels by, who else?, Bulgari at this year’s Golden Globes.

The platinum high jewelry necklace showcased a 31.46-carat, oval-cut Paraiba tourmaline and more than 48 carats of diamonds.

It was paired with a matching high jewelry platinum ring centered on a 7.94-carat, oval-cut Paraiba tourmaline ring with 20 step-cut diamonds and pavé-set diamonds and a pair of cushion-cut diamond stud earrings.

Zendaya was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for the movie “Challengers.”

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez paired her Cinderella-style blue Prada dress with Tiffany & Co.’s “Tiffany Céleste Shooting Star” necklace from the 2024 Blue Book.

The platinum necklace features a more than 18-carat emerald-cut diamond.

Along with the necklace, Gomez wore a pair of diamond studs and multiple diamond rings, including her engagement ring from fiancé Benny Blanco, who proposed to the actress and singer last month.

Gomez was double nominated at this year’s Golden Globes, once for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for “Emilia Pérez” and again for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building.”

Amy Adams wore a pair of earrings and a necklace from David Yurman’s “Liberty” collection, which was inspired by the Statue of Liberty’s crown.

The pieces featured a spiked design in white gold with round- and baguette-cut diamonds.

The actress was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for the Netflix movie “Nightbitch.”
