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.

Selena Gomez wanted her wedding to Benny Blanco to feel personal rather than overly fancy. The couple married in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, in September 2025. Nearly a year later, Blanco has shared more details about the day. He explained how Gomez's childhood dream shaped their wedding plans.
Blanco discussed the wedding during the Sept. 8 episode of his Friends Keep Secrets podcast. He surprised guest Gwyneth Paltrow when he revealed that he and Gomez were married. The couple rented out a palm tree farm and turned it into their wedding venue, according to Blanco. He said they wanted to create something "unconventional" for the celebration.
Blanco explained that Gomez had dreamed about her wedding since she was a child. She also knew how she wanted her walk down the aisle to look. "She's like, 'I want to walk down the aisle, and I want the aisle to be, like, Persian rugs off centered. I don't want normal flowers. I don't want it to feel bougie." The couple worked hard on the celebration, Blanco said.
Blanco said the result felt special without becoming too formal. "So it was, like, incredible and you could tell we put so much effort into it, but also didn't feel, like, stuffy," he said. Paltrow responded to the story by saying, "I love that. That's so cool." The ceremony reflected Gomez's preference for an unusual and intimate celebration.
The wedding was officiated by Lil **** y, who also co-hosts Friends Keep Secrets. Blanco shared the wedding details while speaking with Paltrow. His comments highlighted how much thought Gomez put into making the day her own. The celebration gave her the unconventional wedding she had imagined since childhood.

A.B. Quintanilla, the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano Music" Selena, is responding to the statement released by his mother Marcella Quintanilla and sister Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga — a statement that said he was making "false accusations" about his family members and damaging their reputations.
"I don't lie," A.B. wrote in his latest statement shared on Wednesday (Sept. 2). "Suzette and her lawyers were notified with the corresponding documents via certified mail and electronic mail. She was notified of a lawsuit related to her fiduciary duties, that is, her legal obligations to act with loyalty, transparency and in the best interests of those she was responsible to."
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
He continued, "She responded, but did not provide what was being requested: contracts, documentation and financial information. Those fundamental requirements were left unanswered. What she did under the excuse of using my mom for convenience. She had no idea what was really happening around her and never had any participation in anything."
A.B. says that his lawyer will speak out on Friday (Sept. 4) where "many things will be made clear."

A new public dispute has emerged within Selena Quintanilla's family. Her siblings now appear to disagree over claims involving possible legal action. A.B. Quintanilla III shared a cryptic message that raised questions among fans. Suzette Quintanilla and their mother, Marcella, rebutted his allegations right away.
A.B. took to Instagram Tuesday and told fans about an alleged lawsuit. He said the matter involved Suzette and "facts and circumstances" connected to their late father, Abraham Quintanilla. A.B. claimed the legal process began months ago, though its roots went back years. "There is years of history. There are facts. There is evidence. There are circumstances," he wrote.
A.B. also said much about the situation remains unknown. He told followers he would speak when the time felt right and would share his side with evidence. However, he did not reveal specific details about the alleged lawsuit.
Suzette and Marcella responded with a joint statement Wednesday. They said Suzette had not been served with a lawsuit or legal papers. They also called A.B.'s "insinuations" completely false, according to TMZ. Marcella said she spoke out because Abraham can no longer defend himself.
The pair denied allegations that Suzette stole anything or planned to sell Selena's personal belongings. They also said they knew of no wrongdoing by Abraham that could support A.B.'s alleged claims. However, they made clear that the family conflict would not change their affection for him.

The Quintanilla family dispute is becoming increasingly public. One day after A.B. Quintanilla III confirmed that a legal matter involves his sister Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga and circumstances connected to their late father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., Selena Quintanilla's mother, Marcella Quintanilla, and sister Suzette issued a forceful joint statement challenging his account.
The statement, shared on the verified Selena Instagram account on September 2, directly disputes several ***** ertions made by A.B. and raises a central question: Where is the lawsuit he says exists?

"We have seen A.B.'s recent public statement," Marcella and Suzette begin. "Because it contains serious and false insinuations concerning Suzette, Abraham, and our family, we feel it is necessary to correct the record."
A.B., Selena's older brother and a key songwriter and producer behind her music, publicly addressed the dispute on September 1 after reports about a possible lawsuit began circulating. "Yes, there is a lawsuit related to Suzette Arriaga, as well as facts and circumstances related to my father, Abraham Quintanilla," A.B. wrote in his statement.

Red carpet glamour may look effortless, but behind every polished celebrity appearance is usually a team of professionals working together. Stylists, makeup artists and hairstylists help stars prepare for major events, making sure every detail feels right before the cameras start flashing. For many celebrities, getting ready is less about following a strict formula and more about trusting experienced people who understand their personal style. The process can feel like playing dress up, with different outfits, beauty looks and accessories tested until everything comes together.
Celebrities often describe the experience as highly collaborative. Stylists may bring several clothing options, but the final choice still depends on what makes the person wearing it feel comfortable and confident. Stars can suggest changes, remove details or add something that better reflects their personality. Even when the glam team does most of the technical work, personal input remains important. The strongest red carpet looks are often the ones that feel natural to the person wearing them rather than simply following whatever happens to be fashionable at the moment.
Preparation can also begin long before the makeup brushes and clothing racks arrive. Eating well, drinking enough water and taking care of the skin can help create a better starting point for the beauty team. Just as important is working with familiar professionals who understand a celebrity's face, preferences and comfort level. That trust can make the hours before an event feel less stressful, especially when the same makeup artist or hairstylist has developed a recognizable approach over years of working together.
Makeup artist Gucci Westman is one example of how personal that relationship can become. Her work has been described as gentle and artistic, almost like painting a face rather than simply applying cosmetics. For a celebrity, having someone who knows exactly how to create a familiar look can provide confidence before stepping into an environment filled with cameras and attention. The same principle applies to fashion styling, where understanding the person matters just as much as understanding clothes.
Stylist Erin Walsh, known for working with stars including Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez, describes red carpet dressing as a collaboration. Trends can provide inspiration and help fashion continue evolving, but they should not completely control the final look. Instead, pieces of current trends can be adapted to suit an individual's personality, comfort and appearance. That may be the real secret behind memorable red carpet style. The best looks are not created by one person alone, but through teamwork, trust and a shared understanding of what makes someone feel their best.

However, Dustin Folkes, a former Marine, has mastered the art of being low-key while still on high alert. His ability to blend in and not attract attention has made him a go-to personal security guard for dozens of high-profile celebrities over the last 20 years, with clients like Justin Bieber, Shaun White, Selena Gomez, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Jon Bon Jovi, George Strait and Eric Church, to name a few.

Taylor Swift's wedding was in the back of Harry Styles' mind as he performed at her wedding venue.
On Saturday, August 29, the "Watermelon Sugar" singer took the stage at Madison Square Garden as part of his Together, Together tour. In the middle of his set, he made a playful comment about his ex-girlfriend's wedding to Travis Kelce.
"We're at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks," Harry said, before adding, "And they also do weddings."
According to a People insider, the July 3 ceremony was attended by several Hollywood stars like Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter and Adam Sandler, who officiated the wedding.
Although it was a star-studded affair, Harry was not in attendance. He was reportedly invited but could not attend due to a conflicting schedule with his tour dates. His fiancé Zoe Kravitz, however, did attend the wedding.

Selena Gomez has filed to dismiss the fraud lawsuit against her.
Gomez's lawyer, Mathew S Rosengart, submitted a motion on Wednesday to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Wondermind investors earlier this month, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly magazine.
The Only Murders in the Building star has denied allegations made by investors that she falsely represented the mental health startup's infrastructure, leadership and resources.
"Ms Gomez agreed to support her mother ,Mandy Teefey, who co-founded Wondermind," the filing read.
"Although she invested in and holds a minority stake in the Company, Ms Gomez never agreed to and did not manage the Company. Management was vested in Ms Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey, and Ms Pierson, who ran the Company as co-CEOs and board members. The Company, in turn, retained Ms Gomez as a consultant and conferred on her the ***** le of Chief Impact Officer."
Accusations that Gomez duped investors into putting $1.2 million (£890,000) into Wondermind were made in a lawsuit filed on 13 August, on behalf of a group of five investors who are seeking the return of the money they put into the skittled project.

Benny Blanco shared the results of his five-day pizza diet to prove that "you can lose weight, eating literally anything."
The prolific music producer, 38, explained his plans in an August 21 TikTok: "I'm going to eat one pizza a day and lose weight. My pizza of choice? One large thin crust" from Domino's. Showing a small slice of the pizza, he quipped, "Like, how is this supposed to last me a whole day? This is one-sixteenth of everything I can eat today."
Blanco, who began the challenge at 152.2 lbs, shared that the point was "to prove you can lose weight, eating literally anything." He stayed committed, even bringing the pizza with him when joining wife Selena Gomez for dinner at a restaurant.

HONG KONG/SINGAPORE, Aug 20 (Reuters) - A growing campaign to tax offshore wealth is forcing wealthy Chinese people to rethink their trust structures and investment holdings, lawyers and advisers say, as Beijing sharpens its focus on capital outflows and rule enforcement amid growing fiscal strains.
In late July, ‌authorities overhauled rules to impose a 20% income tax on offshore trusts, while tax offices in major cities like Beijing and Hangzhou have started to enforce taxation on returns from offshore insurance policies.
Those measures have ‌triggered a scramble among some wealthy individuals to ***** s their liabilities, raise cash to meet them and revamp investment holdings. They have also fuelled concern that Beijing may widen its tax crackdown and scrutiny of offshore wealth.

Selena Gomez's lawyer didn't mince words in his response to the lawsuit against the singer and her mother, Mandy Teefey, regarding their mental health company, Wondermind.
"The allegations that Selena Gomez engaged in any way whatsoever in any purported 'fraud' or other wrongdoing are completely meritless, both factually and legally," Gomez's attorney in the case, Mathew S. Rosengart, said Saturday in a statement to Page Six.
Rosengart vowed to "vigorously defend these false allegations" and stated they "indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims" against the pop star.

Only Murders In The Building and Waverly Place star Selena Gomez is sounding fairly ******* off this week, denouncing a recent fraud lawsuit launched against her mental health wellness brand Wondermind. Per People, the lawsuit was aimed at Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and former Wondermind co-CEO Daniella Pierson, claiming the trio "falsely represented" the company's "infrastructure, leadership, and resources" while soliciting more than a million dollars in investments—which is a fancy way to say that there have been a lot of allegations that, while the company sold itself as being able to capitalize on Gomez's massive celebrity and social media following (something that's made her cosmetics company Rare Beauty a reportedly billion-dollar business), in actuality, it was being run almost entirely by Teefey, with very little involvement from her famous daughter.
All of this was laid out in a fairly brutal September 2025 article in The Cut, which talked to several anonymous former Wondermind employees about the not-especially-pleasant-sounding experience of working for Teefey, who the article portrayed as unwell, disorganized, and generally not up to the strain of running a company alone. (Pierson, founder of The Newsette—and the subject of her own takedown article in Forbes last year—exited Wondermind a year after its 2021 founding, reportedly after conflict with Teefey.) The lawsuit says investors got seriously worried about getting their money back when Forbes ran a report back in May 2025 that the company had failed to pay its employees; Gomez reportedly stepped in to cover the debts.
(Meanwhile, if you're wondering what Wondermind—which bills itself as "The World's First Mental Fitness Ecosystem—actually does or makes, the answer is: Not very much, as far as we can tell. The site has run a blog, which has only intermittently been updated in recent years, and ran two short-lived podcasts in the past. But plans for snack offerings, a docuseries about Venus Williams, an app, and film projects have all failed to materialize. Many of the staffers quoted in The Cut article noted that Teefey—whose biggest professional success was pretty objectively the period where she served as Gomez's manager in the early years of her career, before being fired by her daughter in 2014—was good at suggesting projects, but not at actually bringing them to fruition.)
Gomez, like we said, sounds pretty angry to be getting her name and brand dragged through the mud with all this. Per People, her legal team put out a statement this weekend, stating that "The allegations that Selena Gomez engaged in any way whatsoever in any purported 'fraud' or other wrongdoing are completely meritless, both factually and legally. We will vigorously defend these false allegations and indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims against her." Teefey and Pierson, both named as co-defendants, haven't made public statements as of yet.

Selena Gomez is denying accusations that she defrauded investors in Wondermind, which she co-founded with her mother Mandy Teefey and their former business partner Daniella Pierson.

Gomez, Teefey, and Pierson, along with Wondermind, are being sued over counts of alleged securities fraud, common law fraud, breach of contract, and more.

Selena Gomez's legal representation says a new lawsuit alleging the star defrauded investors in her mental health star-up Wondermind is "completely meritless, both factually and legally."
Lawyer Mathew S. Rosengart issued a statement to People on Saturday: "The allegations that Selena Gomez engaged in any way whatsoever in any purported 'fraud' or other wrongdoing are completely meritless, both factually and legally. We will vigorously defend these false allegations and indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims against her."
In a lawsuit filed Thursday by two companies, Wondermind SRS 44 LLC and Bespoke Wondermind LLC, Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey and Wondermind co-founder Daniella Pierson were accused of defrauding investors in the mental health startup, alleging the trio made false representations of the business to stakeholders, including a plan that Gomez would be "intimately involved" in the business's operations. The suit claims damages of around $1.2 million.
"Gomez purported to sign a contract obligating her to perform and then ignored it," the lawsuit read. "The partnerships did not exist. The initiatives never materialized. The app was never built. And for three years, while the Company quietly collapsed around them, not one of its founders, officers or directors said a word to the investors whose money was funding the collapse."
Gomez, Teefey and Pierson first launched Wondermind in 2021 as "a **** e to work it all out every day with candid conversations, physical tools, daily content, and a supportive community." In the lawsuit, investors claim that they did not learn about alleged management issues or struggles at the company – like employees not being paid on time – until The Cut reported on the startup's working conditions last year.
