The annual celebrity-filled trek to the south of France is upon us. Cannes film festival 2023 is well underway, and already the red carpet has been awash with the most impressive sparklers, with white diamond jewellery proving far and away the most popular choice this year.
Gucci ambassador Julia Garner wore white gold and emerald earrings from the Gucci High Jewellery collection and a ring in white gold and and minty tourmaline with diamonds to the Asteroid City red carpet event. She paired this with a custom made green silk chiffon hand-draped gown, with cut-out and long shoulder drapes.

Gong Li was also a vision in scarlet as she walked the Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny red carpet (right down to the magenta streaks in her hair). She matched her look with a suite of Cartier jewels, including a pair of high jewellery ruby and diamond earrings, two ruby and diamond rings, and a further Panther head ring with in white gold with onyx and tsvorites.
