Met Gala Magic | Statement Pieces That Turned Heads
The first Monday in May has become something of a sacred date in the world of fashion, and for good reason. The Met Gala, held at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is more than just a red carpet event. It’s a celebration of creativity, art, and, of course, jaw-dropping fashion. Each year, celebrities and designers come together to bring the theme to life, and the result is always a collection of show-stopping outfits and statement jewellery and unique watch moments that steal the spotlight.
As the excitement builds for Met Gala 2025, we’re taking a moment to look back at some of our favourite jewellery and watch moments from years gone by. From bold diamonds to vintage-inspired details, ornate neckpieces to standout timepieces, these Met Gala looks continue to shape how we style and celebrate fine accessories today. Whether you’re drawn to the drama of a chandelier earring, the elegance of a pearl choker, or the timeless appeal of a luxury watch, there’s no better time to be inspired by fashion’s most extravagant night.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter may have only been to the Met Gala twice, but in 2024 she proved she’s already mastered the art of red carpet elegance. The “Espresso” singer took a refined approach to glamour, pairing her look with understated yet luxurious pieces of fine jewellery — a delicate necklace and sparkling earrings that added just the right amount of shimmer. At Weir & Sons, we believe that sometimes, simplicity makes the boldest statement. Recreate her Met Gala look with our 18K White & Yellow Gold 8ct Diamond Necklet, featuring a mix of princess cut fancy yellow diamonds and brilliant white stones for a luminous finish. Add a touch of golden glow with our 18k White Gold 7.74ct Yellow Fancy Diamond Three Stone Ring, or keep the sparkle going with a classic Diamond Tennis Bracelet — 16.93cts of brilliance in one unforgettable piece.

Zendaya
Zendaya brought her signature flair to the 2024 Met Gala, leaning into the dark feminine glamour trend with a look that was equal parts bold and beautiful. Her accessories did all the right things too — especially those striking asymmetrical emerald and diamond earrings that added just the right amount of drama to her outfit. It wouldn’t be a Zendaya Met Gala moment without that extra touch of storytelling through style. To channel a similar look, opt for the Weir Collection 18k White Gold Diamond & Emerald Drop Earrings or the 18k White Gold Oval Emerald and Diamond Claw Set Earrings — perfect for making your own red carpet entrance.

Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried was a vision of sophistication at the Met Gala 2024, dazzling in a custom silver Prada gown paired with an extravagant natural diamond tiara and elegant earrings from Chaumet. Her look captured timeless Hollywood glamour with a modern edge. Inspired by Amanda’s radiant Met Gala style? We recommend the Messika White Gold My Twin Toi & Moi Earrings – a refined yet contemporary choice that brings brilliance and balance to any ensemble.
Barry Keoghan
As far as watch enthusiasts are concerned, the 2024 Met Gala theme — “The Garden of Time” — couldn’t have been more fitting. Celebrities embraced the concept with flair, but few did it quite like Barry Keoghan. Always one to turn heads, he didn’t settle for just one timepiece — or even two. Instead, Keoghan wore three striking Omega watches, including a vintage 1930s pocket watch, seamlessly blending old-world charm with contemporary edge.
To channel Barry’s Met Gala 2024 look, Weir & Sons recommends the Omega Aqua Terra Shades Co-Axial Master Chronometer 38mm — a sleek, modern classic — or the Omega De Ville Prestige 34mm in 18ct Yellow Gold, featuring a diamond-set dial and a gold bracelet for a dressy, standout look. Whether you're making a red carpet appearance or simply want to elevate your everyday, these pieces offer a refined nod to the art of timekeeping.

Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth brought a touch of divine elegance to the Met Gala, channelling his inner Greek god with a modern twist. Dressed in soft, monochromatic neutrals, he paired his look with the Chopard Alpine Eagle — a rose gold timepiece featuring a diamond bezel that added just the right amount of shine. It was a refined, polished finish that stayed true to his signature style.
For those wanting to capture that same effortless sophistication, the Chopard Alpine Eagle 33mm with a Grey Dial and Diamond Set Bezel is the perfect pick — timeless, bold, and subtly powerful.
Eddie Redmayne
Eddie Redmayne made a striking statement at the Met Gala 2024, stepping out in a bold black-and-white floral ensemble that perfectly complemented his wife Hannah Bagshawe’s look. Known for his fearless style and timeless charm, Redmayne added a refined finishing touch with his Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades — a watch he also wore to last year’s Gala. As an Omega ambassador, his choice was both stylish and symbolic. Want to recreate his effortlessly polished vibe? Weir & Sons recommends the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades 34mm with a green dial or the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades 38mm version with a rich saffron dial — both ideal for those who appreciate bold design with classic appeal.

As the curtain prepares to rise on another unforgettable Met Gala, we’re reminded that the magic of fashion lies in the details — the glint of a diamond, the flash of a watch, the way the right piece transforms an outfit. Whether you’re dressing up for a big occasion or simply looking to bring a little red carpet glamour into your everyday, let these iconic moments be your guide. Keep on sparkling everyday!
