The 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5th, celebrated the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," spotlighting the elegance and individuality inherent in Black fashion heritage. While the event is renowned for its extravagant ensembles, several female celebrities opted for diamond jewelry pieces that seamlessly blend red carpet glamour with everyday wearability. At OBY, we champion the fusion of luxury and sustainability through our lab-grown diamond creations. Here, we highlight five stars whose choices resonate with our ethos, demonstrating how timeless elegance can be both sophisticated and suitable for daily adornment.
Zendaya: Modern Minimalism with a Personal Touch
Zendaya made a striking appearance at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom Louis Vuitton white three-piece suit, designed by Pharrell Williams. Her ensemble paid homage to the classic zoot suit, a symbol of Black dandyism, and was accessorized with a wide-brimmed white hat and minimal yet elegant jewelry, including gold yellow diamond stud earrings and her engagement ring from fiancé Tom Holland.
Zendaya's choice of understated jewelry highlights how simplicity can make a powerful statement. At OBY, we believe in creating lab-grown diamond pieces that exude elegance without excess, perfect for both special occasions and everyday wear.
Sydney Sweeney: Embracing Classic Glamour
Sydney Sweeney captivated attendees in a black beaded floor-length Miu Miu gown, complemented by a gold brooch and diamond drop earrings. Her hairstyle—a sleek bun with gelled curls—echoed the classic Hollywood glamour of Kim Novak, whom Sweeney is set to portray in the upcoming film "Scandalous".
Sweeney's choice of diamond drop earrings exemplifies how statement pieces can be both elegant and versatile. At OBY, our collection of lab-grown diamond earrings captures this essence, offering designs that transition seamlessly from day to night, embodying both sophistication and sustainability.
Ciara: Bold Statements with Diamond Accents
Ciara made a striking appearance in a little black dress featuring dramatic cutouts connected by diamond strings, extending up to her neck. She complemented the ensemble with black stiletto heels, a diamond ring, and drop earrings.
Her use of diamond accents to enhance her outfit aligns with OBY's philosophy of integrating lab-grown diamonds into fashion-forward designs. Our pieces are crafted to make bold statements while maintaining everyday practicality, allowing wearers to express their individuality with confidence.
Diana Ross: Celebrating Heritage with Sparkle
Diana Ross Returns to Met Gala at Age 81 in a Giant Gown. She stole the spotlight in a sequined white gown complemented by a dramatic feathered cape and oversized diamond earrings. Her ensemble included a sentimental element—names of her children and grandchildren embroidered inside the gown’s long train, making it a personal “family gown”.
Ross's use of diamond earrings to enhance her look underscores the power of jewelry to convey personal narratives. At OBY, we believe in creating pieces that not only dazzle but also hold meaning, offering lab-grown diamond jewelry that celebrates both heritage and individuality.
Lisa: Embracing Edgy Elegance
BLACKPINK's Lisa made her anticipated Met Gala debut on May 5, 2025, donning a striking sheer lace outfit adorned with sparkles. The ensemble featured sparkly hot pants and logo-emblazoned tights, embracing the ongoing no-pants trend. Lisa styled her hair in a messy updo and opted for glowy makeup with pink blush and a long, gem-encrusted manicure crafted by her nail artist, Juan Alvear. Lisa's choice of diamond earrings added a touch of classic elegance to her edgy ensemble. At OBY, we appreciate how such combinations can create a balanced and versatile look. Our lab-grown diamond pieces are designed to complement a range of styles, allowing wearers to express their unique fashion sensibilities.
