Who Wore What Jewels

Best Jewelry Moments from the Men at the 2026 Golden Globes
At the 2026 Golden Globes, the most interesting jewelry moments weren’t limited to the women’s red carpet. Men’s jewelry continues to move well beyond watches and cufflinks, with brooches, earrings, bracelets, and statement rings taking center stage. This year, the strongest looks weren’t about spectacle — as the trend continues… they were about intention, placement, and knowing when one piece is enough.
Connor Storrie
Storrie wore a Tiffany Lock bangle, an 18k gold bracelet from Tiffany & Co.’s Lock collection inspired by an historical padlock motif — a timeless symbol of protection and cherished bonds that opens with a discreet hidden clasp.
Pinned to his lapel was a Tiffany Bird on a Rock brooch, the Jean Schlumberger–designed icon featuring a sculptural bird perched atop a 13-carat emerald-cut diamond, a hallmark of Tiffany high jewelry.
For fans of Heated Rivalry, the bird carries added meaning, serving as a visual echo of the loon imagery from a key scene in the film.
Colman Domingo
Domingo debuted Boucheron’s Histoire de Style High Jewelry, marking his first red-carpet appearance as an official Friend of the Maison. He didn’t just wear it — he introduced it, scattering small, leaf-shaped diamond brooches down the left side of his jacket, not as a single jewel, but as a cohesive high-jewelry statement. Confident, deliberate, and unmistakably Boucheron.
Jon M. Chu
Jon Chu took a different tack with his jewelry, turning his lapel into a storyboard of Wicked stars. He wore two custom beaded portrait brooches by Italy-based bead and embroidery artist NerdBead, depicting his Wicked leads Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo — miniature likenesses rendered in beadwork rather than traditional precious metals and gemstones.
On a night crowded with diamond brooches, Chu — very much the wizard behind Wicked — chose the narrative over sparkle.
Paul W. Downs
Downs demonstrated the power of restraint with Boucheron’s Roseau brooch from the Histoire de Style — Untamed Nature High Jewelry collection. Crafted in white gold and fully pavéd with diamonds, Roseau is, according to Boucheron, part of a suite inspired by elements of the natural world — in this case, reeds and organic silhouettes reinterpreted through diamonds and expert craftsmanship.
One brooch, perfectly placed — and nothing else competing for attention.
Patrick Schwarzenegger
Schwarzenegger’s jewelry moment carried history. Styled by Avo Yermagyan, he wore a grouping of Dolce & Gabbana brooches, including a bumblebee once owned by Joan Rivers and sourced from her estate. A quiet tribute, rich in red-carpet legacy.
Tramell Tillman
Tillman chose a sculptural statement in Boucheron’s Plume de Paon XL brooch, a design drawn from the house’s long-running peacock-feather motif.
According to Boucheron, Plume de Paon is crafted in 18-karat white gold and pavé-set with diamonds, with versions described as measuring approximately 71 mm by 36 mm (2.8 inches by 1.4 inches) and set with a rose-cut diamond and over 300 round brilliant cut diamonds.
In a room full of brooches, Tillman’s choice stood apart — impeccable design and unmistakably high jewelry.
