2025 Red Carpet Platinum Trends That Stole the Spotlight

This year, platinum jewelry once again dominated the red carpet, gracing the most glamorous stages—from the Met Gala to the Oscars. Whether enhancing the brilliance of diamonds, showcasing rare gemstones, or adding a touch of sophistication through brooches, platinum proved itself as the metal of choice for stars seeking to make unforgettable statements. Here are the standout platinum trends that defined the 2025 red-carpet season.

Platinum necklaces were the centerpiece of many red-carpet looks this year, but they weren’t just accessories – they were works of art. Celebrities embraced bold, sculptural designs that balanced elegance with creativity. Gabrielle Union dazzled at the Met Gala in a Tiffany & Co. High Jewelry necklace featuring over 51 carats of vivid spinels all set in platinum. This striking piece highlighted platinum’s ability to enhance the vibrancy of colored gemstones. At the Oscars, Mikey Madison chose a vintage Tiffany & Co. archival platinum necklace with diamonds dating back to 1909-1919, embodying the timeless glamour of Old Hollywood. The intricate craftsmanship of this piece, maintained over a century, was a testament to platinum’s durability and lasting brilliance. Meanwhile, Raye captivated onlookers with a Lorraine Schwartz platinum necklace showcasing a striking 23-carat natural ruby drop. The rich red hue of the ruby, framed by platinum’s natural white luster, emphasized how the metal can make any color gemstone appear more vibrant and radiant.

Brooches continued to reign in 2025, becoming a favorite accessory for both men and women who wanted to add a touch of timeless sophistication. Serena Williams elevated her Met Gala look with a vintage-inspired platinum swirl brooch in her hair and paired the look with a French cut diamond bracelet, both highlighting platinum’s ability to preserve and enhance the brilliance of diamonds. At the Oscars, Kieran Culkin personalized his look with a Fred Leighton and Kwiat platinum brooch, featuring Colombian emerald, purple sapphire, and peridot. This piece was a meaningful tribute to his family while showcasing platinum’s versatility with colorful stones. Dwyane Wade demonstrated how brooches could balance masculinity and elegance, wearing a platinum brooch with 20 carats of diamonds to complement his tailored white suit at the Met Gala.

Platinum’s dominance on the 2025 red carpet wasn’t just a coincidence- it was a reflection of the metal’s exceptional qualities. Its naturally white luster makes gemstones look more vibrant and brilliant, while its unmatched strength ensures that even the most intricate designs maintain their shape. Whether used in bold necklaces, or sophisticated brooches, platinum’s adaptability allows it to shine in every design.
