With a guest list that included Isha Ambani, Lauren Sanchez, and Anne Hathaway<\/a>, the Met Gala red carpet<\/a> was always going to glitter\u2014but this year, the carat count tipped into something closer to spectacle. In celebration of the exhibition \u201cCostume Art<\/a>,\u201d attendees leaned decisively into statement jewels, with some so outstanding that they required a watchful security guard.<\/p>\n

It was a night for the statement necklace. Emily Blunt\u2014fresh from The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour\u2014accessorized with a half-million-dollar Mikimoto body necklace that created the most artful swags on pearls. And given her co-star Anne Hathaway\u2019s long-standing allegiance to Bulgari, it was hardly a surprise to see her once again draped in the Roman house\u2014she wore a gold laurel-esque necklace.<\/p>\n

Met Gala co-chair Venus Williams<\/a>, meanwhile, opted to dazzle in crystals. In a look by Swarovski, she wore a neckplate she custom-designed with meaningful symbols from her life, like LA\u2019s Watts Tower\u2014a wink at her Californian roots. Meanwhile, Sudha Reddy wore a hulking $15 million dollar necklace from her personal collection (flex) that featured a 550-carat deep violet-blue tanzanite.<\/p>\n

And ever the minimalist, Hailey Bieber lent a subtle antiquity to her look with rings and ear clips from Belperron\u2019s storied Virgin Gold collection\u2014its softly glowing finish recalling the high-karat hues of classical Greek adornment, and neatly echoing the exhibition\u2019s dialogue between fashion and art.
