Dazzling Red Carpet Jewelry Moments at the 2026 Emmy Awards
The standout bejeweled picks from a glamorous Monday night in Los Angeles
Television’s biggest night brought sparkle to the red carpet, with this year’s Emmy nominees and presenters turning out in an intriguing mix of major high jewelry, colorful stones, vintage pieces, and more unexpected ornaments. Some of the trends that have been gathering momentum throughout awards season made another strong showing, while a handful of particularly inventive choices offered something new. From dramatic necklaces, cleverly placed brooches, and bold earrings to increasingly adventurous jewelry on the men, the evening provided plenty worth looking at twice.
Here are some of our favorite jewelry moments from the Emmys red carpet.
Florence Pugh in Bulgari
Complementary colored stones took center stage in the tourmaline and morganite necklace worn by Bulgari U.S. Ambassador Florence Pugh, which had pretty pavé diamond Vs over the pear-shaped drop stones. The piece had the scale and articulation to read almost as a jeweled collar, but did not fight the drape and shimmer of her lavender Vivienne Westwood gown.
Selena Gomez in Tiffany & Co
No awards show has been complete without Tiffany Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Rock designs in the past few years, and the Emmy’s best case was Selena Gomez’s ensemble, which included the plumage-inspired Feathers earrings and bracelet. Gomez paired them with a gold Louis Vuitton gown.
Colman Domingo’s Boucheron Belt
Friend of the House Colman Domingo wore five pieces by Boucheron, with the most attention-grabbing being green tourmaline, lacquer, white gold and diamond-paved Green Garden brooch from the ”Histoire de Style” High Jewelry collection.
Zendaya in Mikimoto
Zendaya wore both Akoya and South Sea pearls, with the showstoppers being the 12mm White South Sea Pétales Place Vendôme White earrings, featuring substantial 4.40 carats of diamonds in a petal shape. “I loved the idea of taking something as timeless as Mikimoto pearls and making them feel fresh, modern, and young,” said stylist Law Roach, continuing, “There’s an elegance to pearls that will always be classic, but the way Zendaya wears them tonight feels completely of the moment.”
Mark Ronson in Audemars Piguet
The malachite dial caught the eye on the new-for-2026 Royal Oak Self-Winding timepiece, with its saturated green standing out against Mark Ronson’s all-black Céline ensemble. The stone’s natural bands make each watch one-of-a-kind.
