Best Jewelry Moments From the 2025 Grammy Awards
From Lady Gaga’s 1930s Tiffany & Co. necklace to Taylor Swift’s “T,” Michelle Graff recaps the night’s most memorable jewelry looks.

Held Sunday night in Los Angeles, the 2025 Grammys struck a perfect balance between celebratory and somber—honoring music and the joy it brings everyone while also recognizing the devastation the wildfires have caused in L.A. and the need that exists among people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods.
From Chappell Roan to Shakira to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ surprise duet, the performances were excellent, the winners were deserving, and the jewelry was interesting.
Here are five of my favorite looks of the night.
Brittany Howard, et al
The top accessory of the night—and one every artist should have been wearing—was the blue heart-shaped MusiCares pin.
MusiCares is the Recording Academy’s nonprofit created to provide aid to musicians and other professionals who work in the music industry.
Throughout Sunday night’s Grammys telecast, host Trevor Noah was encouraging the audience and viewers to donate to the MusiCares Fire Relief Fund, which will offer money, relocation, and mental health services to music professionals impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles.

One of the first artists I spotted wearing a MusiCares pin on the red carpet was Alabama Shakes’ frontwoman Brittany Howard, pictured above, though the pin also was sported by host Trevor Noah and nominee Teddy Swims, among many others.
Howard was one of a group of musicians who took the stage to open the show, performing Randy Newman’s 1983 song “I Love L.A.” as a tribute to the city.
As a side note, I like Howard’s earrings; does anyone know who made them?
Kacey Musgraves
Although it is not jewelry in the traditional sense, I do want to talk about the belt worn by country singer Kacey Musgraves, who took home the Grammy for Best Country Song.
The silver concho belt is being widely credited to Navajo silversmith Jimmy Begay Jr. and the ShipRock Santa Fe gallery.

The belt was the perfect complement to Musgraves’ Ralph Lauren outfit—a shimmery gold skirt paired with a simple white tank top and perfectly topped off with a pair of earrings by Kiowah jeweler and metalsmith Keri Ataumbi.
It was one of my favorite looks of the night.
Alicia Keys
Singer-songwriter and producer Alicia Keys had one of the most statement-making jewelry looks of the night, a connecting headband-earring combo from Dolce & Gabanna, created to match her corseted black and gold dress from the brand’s “Alta Moda” collection.

I thought Keys looked great and congratulations to her on winning two Grammys, one in the category of Best Musical Theater Album for her Broadway musical, “Hell’s Kitchen,” and the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.
Taylor Swift
I’m annoyed the Kansas City Chiefs are in the Super Bowl again, but I would be remiss if I did not include superstar Taylor Swift and her cheeky little body chain in this roundup.
Ever the subtle one, Swift wore Chiefs red to Sunday night’s Grammy awards, presumably a nod of support to boyfriend Travis Kelce.
She channeled a cheerleader in a short, sequined Vivian Westwood dress, which she paired with a ruby ring and ruby ear climbers reportedly by Lorraine Schwartz.

The most interesting part of her outfit peeked out from the bottom of her custom couture minidress—a gold and ruby body chain from which the letter “T” dangled.
While “T” could stand for “Taylor” and be a hint at her next re-release, many Swifties have theorized that it stands for “Travis” and references her (excellent) song “Guilty As Sin?” in which she sings, “What if he’s written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh only in mind?”
I would posit it could be both; the possibilities are endless when you and your significant other share initials.
Lady Gaga
With all respect to big winner Beyoncé’s stunning Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Sabrina Carpenter’s down-the-back diamond necklace from Chopard’s “Garden of Kalahari” collection, I am going to end my roundup with the piece you’ll be seeing everywhere today—the 1930s Tiffany & Co. necklace worn by Lady Gaga.
No stranger to big Tiffany & Co. moments on the red carpet, Lady Gaga once again donned a little-worn jewel from the storied brand—a gold necklace featuring tourmaline, pearl, and onyx created between 1930 and 1933 by artist Meta Overbeck, under the direction of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Town & Country Editor-in-Chief and jewelry expert Stellene Volandes posted on Instagram almost immediately after seeing the necklace, so I’ll let her tell you all about its history.
One of the last to arrive to the awards show, Lady Gaga wore the necklace on the red carpet, pairing it with a black corseted custom Vivienne Westwood gown, and when she wore a simpler off-the-shoulder gown to accept the Grammy for Best Pop/Duo Group alongside Bruno Mars for their song “Die With a Smile.”
Earlier in the broadcast, the pair delivered a touching rendition of “California Dreamin,’” another way the telecast paid tribute to those who lost loved ones, homes, and pets in the L.A. wildfires.
