Boring Mondays turned brilliant as Met Gala1 2025 rang loud and clear. What was the message?
Every Finger is a Ring finger, while Minimal Ears exude Class.
Hands stole the spotlight with colorful and bold rings, while studded ears embraced the subtlety of minimalism at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Statement jewelry spoke volumes, but this year, it spoke from the knuckles and collarbones. Every hand looked like a curated canvas of excess adorned with gem laden fingers, stacking bands and statement rings. Necks and every curve were dressed in layered, bold statement necklaces.
In contrast, lobes opted for quiet elegance, with many celebs choosing subtle studs or skipping earrings altogether. This shift in red carpet accessorizing drew viewers’ eyes downward from the face, to the necklines and hands to see where the real drama was.
Let’s explore how this new trend, bold rings, subtle ears, and everything in between, kept the red carpet shining.
