The A-list actresses wore different looks for the events and one was better than the next, from Jessica Chastain’s diamond hoops to her Chopard necklace or Penelope Cruz’s switch to shorter diamond earrings from Chanel Haute Joaillerie in longer styles interwoven with pearls. Looks also ranged from antique earrings and modern, sleek necklaces to sparkling diamond rings.
