The Jewels That Did The Most at the Grammys
Talent amplified their outfits and album themes with accessories
February 3, 2025— The Grammys, the first Awards Season event after the devastating Los Angeles fires, raised significant funds for the crisis with the organization MusiCares.
Throughout the program several artists performed classic songs about California. Many, especially those from Los Angeles like Billie Eilish made their love for the city known. Kendrick Lamar dedicated his Grammy for Record of the Year to LA and talked about “continuing to restore the city.” And the Album of the Year was presented to Beyoncé for “Cowboy Carter” by members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
While the tragedy was acknowledged throughout the ceremony, no one tapped down there personal sense of style. It is still the City of Dreams, after all, and seeing the old razzle-dazzle was also restorative.
Many women, and women dominated the nominations, amplified the themes of their albums with their clothing and jewelry. It gave a layered sense of meaning to the best looks. When several accepted their Grammys, they added to the substantive quality by acknowledging all sorts of issues of the day, from DEI to immigration to workers’ rights. It all made for an incredibly moving Grammys.
Beyoncé referenced her Cowboy Carter album with Cowboy couture, a beige bandana themed Schiaparelli gown and gloves. She lit up the look with earrings from her favorite jewelry designer and longtime friend Lorraine Schwartz.
The custom made jewels were set with natural pearls surrounded by cognac diamonds and 50 carat cognac diamond drops.
Taylor Swift also wore custom Lorraine Schwartz jewelry that she collaborated on with the designer.
The jewelry matched her red Vivienne Westwood minidress which echoed the white Vivienne Westwood dress she wore during The Tortured Poets Department section of the Eras Tour and the one she had on when she announced the album at the Grammys last year.
As for the red color, it’s a signature of Taylor’s with her red lips and Red album, but the thinking is the red was also for Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs who are playing in the Super Bowl.
The breakdown of pieces included a ruby ring and spinel ring as well as ruby waterfall earrings that climbed up the ear.
The pièce de resistance was a ruby studded chain with a T pendant that was strung (somehow) around her leg.
It refers to a line from the TTPD song, “Guilty as Sin”: “What if he has written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh.” The T is for Travis.
Lady Gaga’s red carpet dress was the same Samuel Lewis goth gown she wore in her ‘Disease’ music video from her Mayhem album which drops on March 7.
She updated the look for the Grammys with an early 1930s necklace from the Tiffany Archives. The jewel was conceived by Meta Overbeck, one of the extraordinary women who worked under the direction of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Gaga kept the jewel on during the ceremony when she changed into an off-the-shoulder gown, and the details were a little better seen on TV (unfortunately, there’s no good close-up photos I could find of the second look).
The historic piece features a tourmaline in a gold pendant accented with onyx and pearls. The double gold chain also has pearl details.
Pretty much everything Sabrina Carpenter has been wearing lately seems to fit the theme of her album Short n’ Sweet.
On the Grammys red carpet, she went super cute in a particularly glamorous way in a baby blue Jonathan Anderson gown that incorporated a Chopard diamond necklace from the Garden of Kalahari Collection.
The piece (somehow) helped hold up the front of the dress and draped down the back.
It features a 50-carat D-flawless brilliant-cut diamond surrounded by pear-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds suspended from a diamond sautoir in featuring 18.97 carats of pear-shaped diamonds along with pavé diamonds.
Cynthia Erivo may not have a new album out, but she did talk on the red carpet about how her outfit was a reference to the song she was going to sing during the Grammys. It was “Fly Me To The Moon” during the Quincy Jones tribute.
As usual, the superstar was decked out in jewelry, so much so that her massive diamond engagement ring and eternity band on the third finger of her left hand almost went unnoticed.
It seems Cynthia Erivo is married to her longtime partner Lena Waithe. A dive on the internet uncovers details that there was also another ring. She doesn’t wear them all the time.
And this gem, which looks like a cushion cut diamond of epic proportions, appears to be somewhat new. Anyway, I believe congratulations are in order for the lowkey couple.
