At the 83rd Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on 11 January 2026, Cartier creations formed a dialogue between cinema, culture and style. Ambassadors and friends of the Maison chose jewelry and timepieces that referenced the Cartier archives while reflecting individual taste.

The red carpet became a showcase of the Maison’s universe, from High Jewelry to emblematic watchmaking and Cartier Collection pieces, worn by Elle Fanning, Amal Clooney, Paul Mescal, Jacob Elordi, Timothée Chalamet and other guests.

High Jewelry as a language of expression

Elle Fanning showcased Cartier’s High Jewelry savoir-faire with the Pavocelle necklace in platinum and diamonds, its name combining the Latin “pavo” for peacock and the French “ocelli,” evoking the eye motifs of a peacock’s tail.

The necklace plays on the peacock’s ocellus, with pear-shaped stones fanning out like feathers to suggest movement and volume, highlighting the finesse of the Maison’s workshops.

Across the carpet, Reflection de Cartier, Broderie de Cartier, Panthère de Cartier, Coussin de Cartier, Etincelle de Cartier and Pluie de Cartier designs appeared in white gold and diamonds, sometimes layered for contrast. Amal Clooney’s Cartier Collection earrings from 2007, paired with Reflection de Cartier and Panthère de Cartier creations, illustrated how historic pieces can be styled in a contemporary way.

Watchmaking icons on the red carpet

Cartier’s watchmaking heritage appeared through Cartier Collection timepieces and current interpretations of its icons. Paul Mescal wore a Cartier Collection Tortue watch in yellow gold, a design imagined by Louis Cartier in 1912 when round watches dominated the market.

Jacob Elordi chose a limited-edition Cartier Tank Normale skeleton watch with a platinum case set with brilliant-cut diamonds and a sapphire crystal case back revealing the hand-wound mechanical movement. The Tank, designed in 1917, has been revisited in forms such as Tank Normale, Tank Cintrée, Tank Chinoise, Tank Américaine and Tank Française while remaining faithful to Louis Cartier’s original geometry.

Walton Goggins wore a Cartier Collection Tonneau wristwatch from 1992 in yellow gold, with a round movement featuring Côtes de Genève decoration and a 17-jewel, shock-resistant construction. Tank Louis Cartier watches in rose and yellow gold appeared on Noah Wyle and Chris Pine, a Santos de Cartier Skeleton watch in yellow gold on Mohammed Al Turki and a Tank Américaine on Kleber Mendonça Filho.

Cartier Collection and contemporary signatures

The evening highlighted Cartier’s ability to bridge archival pieces and present-day creations. The Cartier Collection — a corpus of approximately 3,500 jewels, timepieces and precious accessories dating from the 1860s to the 2000s — supplied several of the watches and jewels seen at the ceremony and continues to inform the Maison’s current vocabulary.

Panthère de Cartier, Clash [Un]limited, Trinity de Cartier, Juste un Clou and Maillon Panthère pieces worn by Timothée Chalamet, Ludwig Göransson, Emilie Lesclaux and Raya Abirached brought this heritage into contemporary focus, executed in white or yellow gold with materials such as onyx, emeralds, tsavorite, ceramic or diamonds.

Why it matters

Cartier’s presence at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards shows how the Maison’s High Jewelry and watchmaking icons remain relevant on a global cultural stage. By pairing Cartier Collection pieces with current designs, the event underlined the continuity of a style shaped over more than a century and a half, yet attuned to today’s forms of artistic expression.

For discerning clients across the GCC, Cartier’s dialogue between historic creations and modern interpretations offers a way to collect and wear pieces that are rooted in heritage yet designed for the present.
