When celebs wear jewelry, there is reason to pay attention. This is not necessarily because the celebs in question have good taste. Some most certainly don’t. However, designers choose celebrities as ambassadors, lighting the way for how the coming months and years of accessorizing will look.
Of course, most people can’t afford the jewelry celebrities wear. Nonetheless, the designs are found throughout price points, and you’ll find similar pieces that fit your budget.
Remember that it’s important to keep your jewelry investments safe. Your renters insurance policy can help reimburse you if your jewelry is lost. Your basic policy will include reasonably-priced pieces, and you can add particularly expensive pieces as extras.
What celeb jewelry moments from last year will shape 2023? Pay attention to the following celebs.
Zendaya’s Diamonds
If you want to look to elevate your style, Zendaya is the perfect role model. The actress has an effortless feel to all her looks, while still coming across as expensive. She is never dressed in tacky clothes, and her jewelry always suits her outfits and her overall appearance. In 2022, she regularly wore Bulgari diamonds.
Zendaya is a Bulgari brand ambassador and it’s no wonder they chose her as one of the celebs to represent them. At the 2022 Emmys, she wore an incredible Bulgari High Jewelry necklace with a 4.45-carat diamond. Later in the year, at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, she sported an unmissable Bulgari brooch on the lapel of her suit.
The great thing about Zendaya’s looks is that they can be replicated on a smaller scale. You don’t need to be able to afford hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry to take inspiration from her.
Anne Hathaway’s Precious Gems
Anne Hathaway is another Bulgari ambassador who made a splash in 2022. She debuted Bulgari’s Mediterranean Reverie necklace from the Eden The Garden of Wonders collection at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. This necklace included a 107.15-carat Sri Lankan sapphire, which was surrounded by sapphires and diamonds. Paired with it was the Octagonal Wonder, a sapphire ring from the same collection.
Anne Hathaway may be a different generation to Zendaya, but they have their similarities. Hathaway is another celeb who is both relatable in her effortlessness while always looking elevated. Like Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries, she comes across as your girl next door who can transform into a princess when the occasion calls for it.
Julia Fox’s Leaves
Actress and model Julia Fox may not be a brand ambassador for a major designer, but she makes her own waves. She does so by making her own jewelry. One of the most incredible looks of the year emerged from a project she did. She created a jewelry dress with earrings using autumn leaves she found at the park. By dipping them in resin, she turned them into a gorgeous DIY look that is as stunning as it is unique.
Julia Fox is a great example that you don’t need to spend a ton of money on jewelry for it to make a statement. While most of us don’t have the skill to make such an incredible design (or the gumption to wear something like it), we can take inspiration from her for our own DIY jewels.
Lady Gaga’s Necklaces

In the past, we may have expected to see Lady Gaga in a dress made from bejeweled leaves. However, these days she goes for a much more classic look, and her relationship with Tiffany & Co. reflects this. Since wearing a 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond to the 2019 Oscars, she has continued to give us displays of pure luxury.
Throughout 2022, she wore a selection of necklaces from Tiffany & Co. One of the most striking must be the Schlumberger for Tiffany Flowers and Leaves necklace she wore at the SAG Awards. At the Grammys, she wore a piece from the same designer – the Potager Leaves necklace – with morganite and diamonds. Then, at the BAFTAs, she wore a Tiffany emerald and diamond suit.
Lady Gaga proves that classic looks will always be in style. You won’t go wrong by taking inspiration from the classics, even if you aren’t wearing famous Tiffany & Co. pieces.
