TV's biggest night has brought us some of the most breathtaking and unique jewelry moments, from Zendaya's 17-carat diamond necklace to Sofia Vergara's 100-carat drop earrings.
In honor of the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, InStyle gathered the most unforgettable jewelry moments to grace the red carpet through the years.
When it comes to carat count, the term "less is more" no longer applies—just ask the stars who have graced the Emmys red carpet through the decades. Just last year, Sydney Sweeney sparkled in over 175 carats of diamonds from Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry. In 2024, the center stone alone in Selena Gomez's Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany necklace weighed in at a whopping 35 carats.
Of course, size isn't the only defining factor of a stunning jewelry moment—uniqueness is what makes a piece truly unforgettable. Take Kelly Osbourne's $250,000 manicure, which is still making waves over a decade later. Her polish, from luxury jeweler Azature, contained a cool 267 carats worth of black diamonds, as reported by Today. Or, maybe Billy Porter's 2021 look is more your style; he appeared in a peacock-like necklace dripping with nearly 50 carats of diamonds and over 34 carats of emeralds, according to Page Six.
In anticipation of the blinding jewelry moments that are sure to stun at tonight's 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, join us for a look back at the 15 most extravagant jewelry moments in Emmys history.

Even with legions of adoring fans across the globe, Dolly Parton never let the spotlight change who she was.
From choosing a small, private funeral over a lavish send-off to asking well-wishers to skip flowers and gifts in favor of donating to her Imagination Library, the 80-year-old country music icon, who died on August 25, stayed grounded in what mattered most to her: people, not possessions. Given that, it's no surprise the final thing she asked of her sister was something simple and heartfelt.
"The last thing Dolly asked me for was prayer," Stella Parton, 77, told Gayle King in an interview with CBS Mornings posted on Thursday, September 10.

Stella also said she sensed her sister had found peace before she passed. She explained that she'd always been able to read Dolly's emotions just from her expression, even after long stretches without seeing her in person — whether she was in pain, upset, joyful, or simply worn out, it showed on her face. The two, she said, had always shared a tight-knit bond as siblings.

Taylor Swift was reportedly keeping her distance from Ed Sheeran after a political controversy followed his MetLife Stadium shows. The longtime friends remained close, but an insider claimed Swift wanted to avoid being pulled into Macklemore's Palestine message.
Macklemore, who joined Sheeran's tour as a special guest, called for "Free Palestine" during his set. He also performed "Hind's Hall" while images from Gaza appeared behind him, turning the concert into a political flashpoint.
Rob Shuter revealed on his Substack that Swift was deliberately creating some distance from Sheeran after the performance. A source told his Naughty But Nice column, "Taylor wants no part of this."
"She loves Ed, but she is incredibly careful about what becomes attached to her name," the source continued. "She isn't inheriting somebody else's political controversy because they're friends." The report did not suggest Swift had ended her friendship with Sheeran. Instead, the insider described the move as a matter of protecting her public image.
"This isn't Taylor turning against Ed," the source said. "It's Taylor protecting Taylor. She knows one text, one photograph, one comment can become an international headline."

The Princess of Wales is always perfectly poised at royal events, the epitome of grace and composure.
But there was a time when her composure momentarily slipped at a charity event - and resulted in one of our favourite videos of the future queen.
The event took place back in December 2014, when Kate was still the **** ss of Cambridge. She and Prince William travelled for a three-day official visit to the United States, centered primarily in New York City.
One of her engagements saw Kate visit the Northside Center for Child Development where she joined a group of women to help wrap Christmas presents for underprivileged children.
The royal was warmly greeted upon her arrival and, after taking her seat in front at the wrapping station, turned to chat to some of the other ladies in the room.

Controversial adult film star and content creator Bonnie Blue says she has just welcomed her first child.
As reported by British tabloid Metro, the 27-year-old ***** worker said she gave birth via C-section last week at the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London, the United Kingdom. Bonnie, who has appeared visibly pregnant in posts shared on social media for the past few months, said that she was originally not due to give birth until October. "I love being a mother, and knowing the life I can provide for my child makes it even more magical," she added.
Bonnie, real name Tia Billinger, shared that she had wanted to have a child with her estranged husband for "years and years."

The internet has a funny way of making a very big world feel tiny. Breckie Hill and Alix Earle are a pretty good example. Years before millions of people were following their lives online, both creators were students at the University of Miami. Now, according to Hill, they have somehow ended up under the same roof.
Moxy
"It's honestly so random," the 23-year-old said in a statement sent to The Blast. "Alix and I were at UMiami at the same time, and now we live in the same building. It's funny how that worked out."
At Miami, Earle was studying business, while Hill had an entirely different future in mind. "I was going to be a doctor," she recently told Adam22 during an August 20 appearance on "No Jumper," adding that internet fame "never crossed my mind."
Fame found her anyway. A few unexpectedly viral TikToks eventually became a full-time career, with Hill building an audience of millions across social media. Not that the influencer necessarily sees it that way. "I use the term famous lightly," she said. "I don't think I'm famous."

Her death was announced by her nephew, Bryan Seaver, in an Instagram video posted August 25. The musician's publicist confirmed Parton's cancer diagnosis to the ******* ociated Press later in the day, but did not give further details on her illness.

Beyoncé has built a career defined by precision, discipline, and an almost unmatched attention to detail, qualities the superstar has repeatedly connected to her Virgo zodiac sign. Born on September 4, Beyoncé has proudly embraced her astrological identity through interviews, birthday celebrations, and songs such as "Gift From Virgo" and "Virgo's Groove." She has even blamed her tendency to overthink on being a Virgo, while people who have worked with her have described the extraordinary effort she puts into perfecting every performance.
However, Beyoncé's relationship with perfection appears to be evolving. After decades of allowing her Virgo characteristics to influence her public identity, the singer now says she is more interested in growth, storytelling, and creative freedom than creating something technically flawless.

Beyoncé has never hidden the more complicated side of her meticulous personality. During a 2013 interview with GQ, the "Crazy in Love" singer directly connected her tendency to overanalyze situations to her Virgo zodiac sign.
"Because I'm a Virgo, I will think myself into a crazy frenzy, and I will re-think and re-think and figure out, you know, way too many things," she admitted, which closely reflects several qualities astrologers traditionally ******* ociate with Virgo. The earth sign, which is ruled by Mercury, is frequently characterized as ******* ytical, practical, organized, and detail-oriented.

Beyoncé is to donate $1 million (£730,000) to earthquake relief efforts in Colombia.
On 10 August, an earthquake struck Chocó Department, killing at least 331 people and injuring thousands of others.
Following the natural disaster, which was felt across much of western and central Colombia, Beyoncé announced on Wednesday that she would be making a "personal donation".
The funds will go towards organisations working on the ground in the nation, primarily those providing food and housing supplies.
"The earthquake caused severe loss of life and critical injuries. Many homes were completely demolished living residents without shelter," a spokesperson commented. "The epicenter of the earthquake was approximately three miles east of San Jose del Palmar, approximately 150 miles from Bogota. The earthquake was felt in cities across the country. Multiple cities have sustained damage to buildings, infrastructure, and roads, critically affecting the food supply."
The representative also urged fans to visit the websites of Food For The Poor and World Central Kitchen if they wanted to support ongoing relief efforts.

Home Alone 2 actor Tim Curry died on Tuesday, August 25.
According to TMZ, Curry's health was on the decline for over a decade before his death at the age of 80. The Hollywood star died at his Los Angeles home. No cause of death has yet been revealed for the revered actor.
In 2025, Curry shared with The Hollywood Reporter that he was still unable to walk following a near-fatal stroke in 2012.
"I still can't walk, which is why I'm in this silly chair, and that's very limiting. So I won't be singing, and I won't be dancing very soon. I still have real problems with my left leg," he shared at a screening for the 50th anniversary of the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which he starred alongside Susan Sarandon.
Curry often displayed his knack for musical theater in his roles, including playing Rooster Hannigan in the 1982 film adaptation of Annie, as well as several Broadway productions, such as Monty Python's Spamalot, My Favorite Year, and Hair.

Melania Trump turned heads during her latest public appearance at the NTT INDYCAR Series event in Washington, D.C. She joined President Donald Trump to greet drivers on the paddock at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. Known for her polished wardrobe, Melania chose a relaxed yet chic ensemble. She wore a tailored white ***** on-down shirt paired with sleek black trousers. Her effortlessly stylish look caught everyone's attention instantly.
Melania Trump's outfit featured a classic white cotton striped-cuff tunic top from Louis Vuitton's 2018 collection. Instead of wearing the designer shirt fully fastened, she boldly left the top ***** ons open. This unbuttoned styling gave her formal shirt a modern and breezy twist. The unique striped cuffs also added subtle detail to her crisp top.
She paired the white shirt with dark, wide-leg trousers that flowed gracefully as she walked. On her feet, she wore black Roger Vivier Gommettine ballet flats featuring signature tonal buckles. The flat shoes kept her look comfortable yet elegant for walking around the racetrack paddock. Her hair was styled in soft, sun-kissed waves over her shoulders, completing her effortless summer outfit.
During the event, Melania started off riding in the armored presidential limousine, known as "The Beast," alongside President Trump as they completed a ceremonial lap. She was also seen smiling and waving to onlookers from inside the vehicle. Later, she walked through the paddock area to greet the racing teams and drivers. She stood beside the President while he officially kicked off the race by waving the green flag.
Melania proved once again that high-end designer pieces can look simple and modern. By leaving her shirt unbuttoned, she brought a fresh mood to classic tailoring. Her high-low mix of luxury labels and relaxed styling created a standout fashion moment at the race.

John Cusack has made his position known as Mark Ruffalo challenges Paramount's allegations. The Hulk star is locked in a feud with Paramount Skydance over its its bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount responded with a statement accusing Ruffalo of invoking "antisemitic tropes" in a business dispute.
Mark Ruffalo has found an ally in John Cusack, who is standing by him in solidarity as he weathers antisemitism accusations. According to Entertainment Weekly, the allegations emerged after Ruffalo condemned Oracle last week. The tech company is owned by billionaire Larry Ellison. His son, David Ellison, heads Paramount Skydance and is spearheading the $110 billion bid to merge Paramount with Warner Bros.
Ruffalo rejected the antisemitism claims in a lengthy response on X (formerly Twitter). It read, "The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people."
The 13 Going on 30 actor clarified that his views stem from his own political beliefs. He emphasized that no one should interpret his views as animosity toward Jewish people. Ruffalo also noted that his Jewish friends and colleagues have deeply shaped his understanding of acting, activism, and humanism. Those loved ones, he said, have been like family to him throughout his life.
John Cusack, who has been a vocal supporter of Palestinian rights and a critic of corporate consolidation in Hollywood, weighed in shortly after. Responding to Ruffalo's statement, Cusack wrote simply: "Solidarity — well said."

Princess Anne, 76, takes her role within the royal family very seriously, racking up a whopping 478 engagements in 2025. Despite being a decade past retirement age, the Princess Royal spends her days travelling up and down the country to greet people and represent the monarchy. When she does get downtime, she retreats to Gatcombe Park, her beloved country home in Gloucestershire, away from the glare of the spotlight. Insiders tell ***** O! what life is really like at her private home.
"Gatcombe is her bolthole, where she is not the Princess Royal – she is Anne," says Ailsa Anderson, a former communications secretary to Queen Elizabeth II. "It's a lot less formal; she has Zara and Mike still living on the estate, and Peter and Harriet nearby." The Princess Royal's daughter Zara lives at Aston Farm on the estate with her former rugby player husband Mike Tindall and their three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas.

Royal author Robert Hardman agrees with Ailsa. "Gatcombe is her happy place; she's fundamentally a country person," he says. Her relationship with her children and grandchildren is "very no-nonsense", he adds. "It's very normal; there isn't any standing on ceremony, and she's the only one with a ***** le.
"She's a very good grandmother. She's hands-on, but like all grandchildren, I think they can get away with things. She dotes on them."
