Kate Hudson also leaned into the silhouette with a collar necklace by Garatti High Jewelry, reinforcing the growing prominence of diamond pieces worn close to the collarbone.

Hudson Williams, among the first actors to arrive, helped set the tone in a sparkling brooch by BVLGARI. Jeremy Pope embraced the trend with multiple brooches by Anabela Chan Jewelry, while Damson Idris wore a custom piece from his own brand, DIDRIS.
