Lauren Sanchez would undoubtedly make a stunning bride. We can say that with confidence after seeing her shine in white at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday night, elegantly escorted by her fiancé, Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos. The world’s third-richest man, worth $220 billion, couldn’t contain his smile, not due to the cameras, but because of his fiancée, who looked absolutely mesmerizing in a white strapless trumpet gown with a feathered hem and a sweeping train.
While the magnificent Oscar de la Renta gown certainly deserves all the praise, we’re particularly captivated by Lauren’s accessories. Not her 30-carat pink cushion-cut engagement ring (courtesy of billionaire Bezos, who popped the question aboard the $500 million Koru yacht in May 2023), but rather her emerald statement necklace. As always, Sanchez relied on the brilliance of celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to adorn her neck with over 200 carats of Colombian emeralds. It’s the perfect balance of luxury, having a man worth $220 billion on one side, isn’t it? Only Sanchez, the wearer of this emerald-cut choker paired with diamond and emerald drop earrings and the massive engagement ring, can truly answer that.
If anyone’s emeralds could rival Sanchez’s, perhaps even take hers for a helicopter ride (a metaphor fitting a pilot), it would be Nita Ambani, Asia’s richest woman. The matriarch of Reliance Industries owns one of the most incredible jewelry collections in the world, which undoubtedly includes some statement-making emerald pieces. Her $7.5 million emerald necklace, worn at her son’s pre-wedding festivities, featured a total of 863 carats of emeralds and took three years to create. The affluent founder of the NMACC is also a fan of Lorraine Schwartz’s jewels and has worn several eye-catching pieces at recent events, often alongside the other ladies of her wealthy clan.
However, while we’re on the topic of Sanchez’s necklace, it’s worth mentioning that it’s one of the best pieces she has worn recently. Although, we must admit, her cute little “Mrs. B” necklace holds a special place in our hearts, mostly due to its sentimental meaning. At the same event, many other celebrities also wore Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, including Sofia Vergara, who dazzled in 30-carat Asscher natural diamond studs, supermodel Kendall Jenner, who flaunted black diamond and ruby earrings, and Lindsay Lohan, who wore a beautiful emerald necklace.
