The Best Natural Diamonds of the 2024 MTV VMAs

The 2024 MTV VMAs are here! Known for countless iconic pop culture moments verging on the absurd, the MTV Video Music Awards always bring wild fashion and gob-smacking natural diamonds. Music’s biggest stars epitomize classic glamour with timeless jewels or jaw-dropping clout with crazy diamond chains and pendants. 

Hosted by nomineee Megan Thee Stallion, this year’s 40th anniversary ceremony will see performances from Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Halsey, Camila Cabello, Lisa of BLACKPINK, Shawn Mendes, Eminem, and Hot Girl Meg, herself.

While the stars may shine on stage, they’ve also lit up the red carpet with their sparkling natural diamonds. Ahead, check out the very best natural diamond jewelry to make its way to the 2024 MTV VMAs.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has arrived! The pop superstar stepped out in a plaid Christian Dior corseted ensemble with incredible Lorraine Schwartz earrings featuring 30-carat pear-shaped canary yellow diamonds surrounded by black jade, styled by Joseph Cassell Falconer. Later in the evening, Swift slipped into outfit number two, with new diamond earrings from Rainbow K, baby pavé diamond drop hoop earrings and rings from Ali Weiss Jewelry, and even more jewels from Jade Ruzzo, Retrouvai, MATEO, Lizzie Mandler, and For Future Reference Vintage.

Megan Thee Stallion

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter emulated two blonde bombshells for her very first Video Music Awards. Marilyn Monroe may be the most obvious, but Carpenter channeled her inner pop-princess, wearing the same vintage Bob Mackie gown Madonna previously wore to the Oscars in 1991. Remembering that “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” Carpenter accessorized with De Beers Snow Dance Short Diamond Earrings, the jeweler’s Old Bond Street pavé emerald-cut 3.35-carat diamond ring, and a glistening De Beers Swan Lake diamond Y-necklace that trailed down her décolletage, totaling 23.95 carats.

Quavo

Quavo, formerly of Migos, arrived iced-out at the 2024 MTV VMAs. The rapper shined in a wrist covered in natural diamond bracelets, diamond chain necklaces, a diamond heart-shaped ring, and a thick diamond eternity band pinky ring as he showed off his diamond-embellished smile.

Lisa of BLACKPINK

Lisa of the beloved K-pop group BLACKPINK has stepped out at the 2024 MTV VMAs for a solo appearance. Nominated for her song “Rockstar,” Lisa arrived wearing a hooded Mugler corset gown with gold and diamond Bulgari Serpenti jewelry wrapped around her neck.
