Get ready to be enchanted with some of the most slayed celebrity jewellery looks from 2025 so far.
Jewellery, we believe, is memory encased in metal and stone. And if 2025’s brightest celebrity jewellery moments have taught us something, it’s that India’s stars continue to wear their heritage and contemporariness in exquisite balance. It is layered, glowing, and unapologetically majestic.
So let’s stroll through these breathtaking celebrity jewellery moments of 2025 in this blog created by our team at Wedding Affair.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: The Queen of Cannes Returns in Rubies
Count on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to turn Cannes into a living Mughal miniature painting. This year, the ageless queen swept onto the red carpet in an exquisite ivory outfit, her hair flowing like poetry. But it was her royal Manish Malhotra jewellery, including long streams of haars that left the world gasping. Layer upon layer of sumptuous red rubies and uncut diamonds encircled her neck. The highlight? A massive choker featuring a ruby cabochon at the center, edged by classic polki diamonds, reminiscent of vintage Indian court jewellery. Finishing off the look with same grace, Aish opted for dramatic statement rings with an enormous ruby square ring and a floral ruby ring.
But what made it universally memorable was her styling: the vermilion sindoor striking her part, glinting against the rubies. It was a poetic reference to heritage, to femininity, and to her status as India’s longest running global beauty icon.

Shah Rukh Khan: King Khan’s Maximalist Medallions
Where Aishwarya introduced old-world magnificence, Shah Rukh Khan introduced modern royalty with a rockstar twist. In 2025, SRK’s photoshoot for his international luxury campaign went viral for one reason: those unapologetically OTT chains. Covered in head-to-toe black ensemble featuring fitted coat, plunging V-neck and sunglasses, SRK stacked several diamond encrusted Sabyasachi necklaces in a modern Maharaja-meets-pop-icon look. The showstopper? A massive glittering pendant bearing the letter K, posed like a family crest adorned with diamonds.
He paired the necklaces with chunky rings, a lion headed walking stick and a hard-edged starburst brooch attached to his lapel. It was like a visual declaration that age can’t tame this King’s charisma. Each pendant and chain became a symbol of legacy, swagger and the strength to redefine masculinity with a twinkle of diamonds.
Isha Ambani at the Met Gala: Pearls, Pastels & Modern Maharani
No list of India’s celebrity jewellery royalty is complete without an Ambani moment and Isha Ambani’s 2025 Met Gala appearance was a vision in pastel stones and a swirl of diamonds. Capping the theme’s poetic excess, Isha adorned herself with delicate runs of fine diamonds, pale sapphires, and tiny pearls pouring from her collarbone to décolletage. Her one-of-a-kind bustier and cape outfit whispered of couture, but her neckpiece warbled of ancient Indian haar practices updated for a millennial heiress.
Each layer of set the other, from the largest centre diamond to the dainty rainbow pearls and tourmalines that peekaboo under the collar. The grand finale? Bold statement rings and a modest emerald brooch on her shoulder which was understated, kingly, and classic. Amidst a room full of experimental styles, Isha stood out by blending international glamour with the personal poetry of India’s jewel heritage
Manish Malhotra: The Designer Becomes The Adorned
This year’s Met Gala wasn’t the exclusive playground of Isha, it was also the domain of India’s master couturier, Manish Malhotra. As always the mastermind behind the world’s most extravagant wedding jewellery, today he was the canvas himself. Manish’s velvet sherwani cape crossover was an emotional embroidery of motifs of yore of elephants, lions, and paisleys with each thread glinting with zari and zardozi. But glance closely: he sported several brooches, each a paean to India’s erstwhile royal courts.
A lion head diamond brooch rested on his tie, accompanied by emerald dot elephant pins, a teardrop emerald pendant and a pearl encrusted crest. They collectively narrated a story of princely Indian elegance embroidered into a contemporary silhouette. In an era where men’s jewellery tends to avoid grandeur, Manish reminded us: why would you want subtlety when you could boast an entire dynasty on your collar?
Janhvi Kapoor: The Enchantress in a Back Drape Necklace
If Cannes 2025 belonged to one young starlet, it was Janhvi Kapoor who turned the red carpet into her own romantic garden. Clad in a soft seafoam stunning green gown, Janhvi’s jewellery turned heads, not only from the front, but also from the back. Her neck was adorned by a backdrape necklace: strings of uncut emeralds and polkis hanging down her back like drops of dew on a vine. Accompanying it were dainty chaandbaali-inspired earrings with mischievous contemporary detailing, marrying vintage craftsmanship with a flirtatious new shape. It was sensual, new and unmistakably Janhvi: a woman entering world fame on the shoulders of Kapoor heritage but an unbranded spirit willing to turn her heirlooms around, breaking rules.
