What would fashion’s biggest night be without some jewels?

There was no shortage of glitz on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet, thanks in part to a plethora of glittering accessories worn by the world’s biggest celebrities.

With a theme of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and a dress code of “The Garden of Time,” the stars leaned into romantic, indulgent fashion. To amplify the glamour, many opted for glittering diamonds, floral-inspired gems and other unique creations.

With a diamond necklace chicly draped over her shoulder, Pamela Anderson proved that sometimes jewelry can steal the show. Demi Moore’s sculptural gown was inspired by a Cartier necklace, which she wore along with the heart-shaped ensemble.

And, of course, there were carats upon carats upon carats.

Here are all the best jewelry moments from the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.

Cardi B shut down the red carpet with the largest dress of the evening — and perhaps even in Met Gala history. Along with her voluminous black dress and beehive-style headpiece, the rapper accessorized with glitzy green jewels.

Her massive green necklace, earrings and rings not only matched the greenery inside the event (nodding to “The Garden of Time” dress code) but also her long green nails.

Demi Moore’s Meaningful Necklace

Demi Moore stepped out in a stunning gown (made entirely of wallpaper!) by Harris Reed. Along with romantic accents like pink and white floral design and heart-shaped sculptural element, the actress donned a knockout emerald Cartier necklace (with matching earrings) that, according to Reed, was the inspiration behind the floral gown.

“It all started with this incredible Cartier necklace that Demi is wearing,” Reed told Ashley Graham on the Vogue red carpet. “It was inspired by the floral feeling it gave me. The whole piece is made out of vintage archival wallpaper. We repurposed it. It’s 11,000 hours of silk embroidery that we’ve repurposed into this idea of her blooming on the carpet. I wanted to be the vines to her thorns.”
