Boucheron, Chopard, Tiffany: the jewels stealing the show at the Venice Film Festival 2026
On the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival 2026, it isn’t only the gowns turning heads: the jewels are shimmering with an intensity that rivals the stars themselves. This edition of the festival, which opened this week amid gondolas and ceremonies, already offers a dazzling panorama of the world’s finest jewellery houses.
The standout jewels at the Venice Film Festival 2026
Chase Sui Wonders made a bold statement on the red carpet with a Tiffany & Co. brooch pinned to a ribbon necklace, an audacious pairing that immediately drew every eye. The choice perfectly captures the defining trend of this edition: jewellery is no longer simply an accessory to an outfit, it has become the focal point.
Nina Dobrev opted for oversized circular earrings by Chopard. The Swiss house is doubly represented this year, as Hayes Warner also turned to Chopard for her red carpet appearance. Two looks, two interpretations of the same house, and a visually striking result on both counts.
Bulgari, meanwhile, asserts itself as one of the most prominent houses of this edition. Vittoria Ceretti, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Bianca Balti and Rebecca Donaldson all chose the Italian house’s creations for their red carpet moments. This concentration of Bulgari pieces at a single event speaks volumes about the pull the Venice Film Festival 2026 exerts on the world’s great jewellery names.
When actresses put Swarovski and Boucheron in the spotlight
Claire Foy placed her bets on Swarovski, bringing a crystalline edge to her red carpet look. In choosing the house, the British actress confirms that Swarovski has firmly established itself as an essential player at major fashion and film events.
Vittoria Ceretti, for her part, chose Boucheron for her festival appearance. The French house, founded on the place Vendôme, thus claims its place among the great maisons represented in Venice this year. Because the Venice Film Festival 2026 is not merely a cinematic rendezvous: it is also a global showcase for luxury jewellery.
The glamour context of this 83rd edition
This year, the festival opened in an atmosphere charged with striking imagery. Amal and George Clooney crossed the lagoon by water taxi, with Amal wearing a satin micro-short by Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford. Maggie Gyllenhaal, meanwhile, upended red carpet conventions by arriving at the opening ceremony of this 83rd edition in Celine sneakerinas.
The Gallagher brothers also made their mark at the premiere of Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, between fraternal feuding and provocative gestures. Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz are expected to champion Bunker, the new film by Florian Zeller, and could deliver one of those quietly iconic couple style moments they have made their own.

Jewellery: the real winner of the Venetian red carpet
Amid the buzz of personalities descending on the Lido, jewels are asserting themselves as one of the most closely watched elements of the Venice Film Festival 2026. Every red carpet appearance becomes an opportunity for jewellery houses to demonstrate their savoir-faire before a global audience.
The Venetian festival offers a singular stage where fashion and cinema intersect with rare intensity. The jewellery choices made by the actresses and personalities present this year confirm that Tiffany & Co., Chopard, Bulgari, Swarovski and Boucheron have fully grasped what is at stake in this edition. The Venice Film Festival 2026 will be remembered as much for its films as for the brilliance of its red carpets.
