Take inspiration from this year's biggest films and discover jewelry influenced by iconic characters and red-carpet looks.
The silver screen has always influenced fashion, and jewelry is no exception. From its powerful characters dressed in timeless pieces to the celebrities turning movie premieres into their own fashion moments, Hollywood continues to inspire the way we accessorize.
The Odyssey: Jewelry Fit for the Gods
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey brings Homer’s epic tale to the big screen, following Odysseus as he journeys home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he faces gods, mythical creatures, and other challenges that put his strength and determination to the test. With a cast that includes Zendaya, Tom Holland, and Anne Hathaway, the film offers plenty of larger-than-life characters to inspire equally memorable jewelry looks.
Zendaya as Athena
Athena is known as the Greek goddess of wisdom, strategy, and warfare, making her a natural source of inspiration for a look that feels strong, refined, and intentional.
For this interpretation, layer polished pieces with sculptural details to create a look that feels commanding without being overly ornate. A statement ring can serve as the focal point, while complementary earrings and a bracelet add dimension without competing for attention. The result is a modern interpretation of goddess-inspired jewelry — clean, sophisticated, and designed to make an impression.

Tom Holland as Telemachus
As the son of Odysseus, Telemachus represents youth, growth, and the search for identity. His jewelry look should feel understated and masculine, with classic pieces that can easily transition from everyday wear to more polished occasions.
Think refined chains, a signet ring, and low-profile bracelets layered together. The combination creates a look that feels confident without being overly styled, ideal for customers who prefer jewelry with a subtle presence.

Anne Hathaway as Penelope
Penelope is defined by loyalty, patience, and strength, making her style one that embraces timeless elegance. Instead of bold statement pieces, this look focuses on delicate details and classic silhouettes.
Layered necklaces, refined earrings, and a graceful bracelet create a sophisticated combination that feels feminine without being overly delicate. These are the kinds of pieces that can become everyday staples while still adding a polished finished to a special occasion look.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Inspiration From the Red Carpet
Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues the story of Peter Parker as he navigates life as Spider-Man while facing a new chapter in his superhero journey. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker with Zendaya as MJ, bringing the pair back to the big screen for another installment in the Marvel franchise. While the film itself provides plenty of superhero inspiration, we’re looking beyond the character and taking cues from the stars’ red-carpet looks.
Zendaya
Zendaya’s Brand New Day press tour is a masterclass in turning a movie theme into fashion. Her looks have ranged from black-and-red tailoring to dramatic spider-inspired details, including a web-embellished vintage Armani look and spider-themed jewelry.
Translate that same approach into the jewelry case with pieces that combine drama, movement, and sparkle. Layered necklaces, diamond-forward pieces, and bold earrings can recreate the impact of her red-carpet styling without directly copying looks. For a specially fashion-forward customer, combine multiple pieces to create an editorial-inspired effect.

Tom Holland
Tom Holland’s promotional style has leaned into classic tailoring with subtle nods to the film. At different stops on the press tour, he has incorporated pops of red, spider details, and sleek suiting while keeping his overall look polished.
For a jewelry interpretation, keep things classic with pieces that add personality without overwhelming the look. A sophisticated chain, statement ring, or classic bracelet can bring a little edge to traditional menswear. The key is restraint: choose one or two pieces that make an impact rather than layering too heavily.

The Devil Wears Prada 2: Dress the Part
Nearly 20 years after the original The Devil Wears Prada, the sequel returns to the world of Runway magazine and its famously demanding editor, Miranda Priestly. Andy Sachs has also returned, now navigating her own career and the changing fashion industry while crossing paths with her former boss. With fashion once again at the center of the story, both characters offer distinct approaches to styling — and plenty of jewelry inspiration.
Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs
Andy’s style has evolved since the first film, but her look still balances modern fashion with approachable sophistication. For a jewelry interpretation, focus on pieces that feel polished and current without being too formal.
Mix classic silhouettes with contemporary details. A few well-chosen pieces can elevate a simple outfit, whether that means adding a pair of statement earrings, an elegant ring, or a layered necklace combination. The goal is effortless polish, the kind of jewelry that looks just as appropriate in the office as it does after hours.

Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly
Miranda Priestly doesn’t need an introduction — and neither does her jewelry style. Her look calls for pieces that feel luxurious, deliberate, and completely in control.
For this look, think elegant pieces with a subtle presence. Classic earrings, delicate necklaces and refined rings can add just the right amount of sophistication while keeping the overall look sleek and intentional. Miranda’s approach to jewelry is simple: make every piece count.

Bring Hollywood Inspiration to the Case
From ancient mythology to superhero-inspired fashion to the world of high-end editorial style, today’s movies offer plenty of inspiration for jewelry customers.
Sometimes the best jewelry inspiration isn’t found in a jewelry store — it’s on the big screen. The key is not to recreate a costume or copy a red-carpet look piece for piece. Instead, identify the details that make each style memorable and translate those elements into jewelry looks customers can make their own.
