There are luxury brands, and then there’s Gucci. Fashion houses come and go from the celebrity spotlight, but Gucci has a particular staying power, thanks in no small part to the stars who keep it shining.
From Hollywood royalty like Lady Gaga to style renegades like Harry Styles, Gucci jewelry has found its way into major pop culture moments. But these aren’t just headline accessories. They’re pieces with personality, presence, and a story. The kind you can actually own, especially if you know where to look.
Let’s break down the moments that made Gucci jewelry iconic, and how pieces available at La Maison Monaco today channel that same red carpet energy.
Lady Gaga: A Character in Her Own Drama
When Lady Gaga stepped out for the press tour of House of Gucci, she didn’t just represent the film’s title, she embodied its grandeur. Whether in rich velvet gowns or high-drama silhouettes, her looks were rarely without jewelry that demanded a second glance.
During the London premiere, Gaga paired her deep purple Gucci gown with dramatic high-jewelry earrings and bracelets, custom-crafted for the event. While these specific pieces were one-offs, her broader affinity for Gucci’s maximalist approach to accessories is well-documented, especially in editorial shoots and red carpet appearances.
Harry Styles: Breaking Boundaries, One Ring at a Time
Harry Styles doesn’t wear jewelry, he curates it. His relationship with Gucci is one of genuine collaboration, not costume. From pearl necklaces on tour to silver rings in the “Golden” music video, Styles turns jewelry into narrative.
One of his most recognizable choices? The lion head ring with Swarovski crystal eyes. But even off stage, he’s been seen in Gucci’s Interlocking G rings and chain bracelets, subtle nods to heritage mixed with his now-famous androgynous energy.
What makes Styles’ jewelry choices resonate is how effortlessly they break convention. He doesn’t wear rings or chains for flash, he wears them like punctuation marks, small but deliberate. Every piece adds to the story he’s telling.
Dakota Johnson: Quiet Confidence, Loud Detail
Dakota Johnson is the face of Gucci’s Jackie 1961 campaign, but her relationship with the brand extends far beyond handbags. At events like the Venice Film Festival and New York Fashion Week, she often opts for understated looks with just the right amount of sparkle.
Take her 2023 NYFW appearance: a sheer black slip dress, delicate makeup, and high-jewelry earrings that whispered more than they screamed. The Gucci Link to Love bracelet in 18kt yellow gold captures this same aesthetic, minimalist structure with emotional weight. It isn’t trying to make a scene, it’s there for the one who knows what they’re looking at.
The Jewelry Itself: A Design Language in Culture
Gucci’s jewelry has always spoken in symbols: interlocking Gs, lion heads, bees, and serpents. These are more than decorative motifs. They’re part of the brand’s iconography, appearing in music videos, album covers, and even lyrics.
In 2021, the brand celebrated its 100th anniversary with the “Gucci 100” campaign, pulling lyrics from songs that mentioned the house. Jewelry was central to the campaign, not as an afterthought, but as the pulse of the look.
In hip-hop culture, names like Gucci Mane (yes, the name isn’t coincidental) have long associated the brand’s logo-laced rings and chains with success and self-expression. From rap verses to Met Gala appearances, Gucci’s pieces have carried more than status, they carry story.
La Maison Monaco: The Retail Link to Culture
It’s one thing to admire a celebrity’s look. It’s another to wear a piece that speaks the same design language. At La Maison Monaco, Gucci’s fine and silver jewelry collections aren’t watered-down versions of what the stars wear; they’re the real thing.
You’ll find:
The Interlocking G ring in sterling silver: a bolder, more grounded piece that captures modern masculinity with a nod to the past.
The Link to Love collection: bracelets and rings in pink, white, and yellow gold, designed to stack or stand alone. These are emotional pieces, quietly luxurious.
Horsebit earrings and necklaces: equestrian elegance reimagined with precious stones and contemporary polish.
These aren’t seasonal throwaways. They’re permanent players in Gucci’s evolving story, and potentially, yours too.
