Adriana Lima in Black Nicholas Oakwell Couture Gown and Chopard Emerald Collar at Garance Premiere Cannes May 2026
Adriana Lima attended the Garance premiere during the 79th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes on May 17, 2026, wearing a strapless black Nicholas Oakwell Couture gown with a striking Chopard emerald collar necklace, and the jewelry completely transformed the mood of the look.
The black gown from the Nicholas Oakwell Couture Waldorf Astoria Collection features a sleek column silhouette that follows the body closely from neckline to hem. Subtle ruching through the hips adds soft shaping while keeping the line clean and uninterrupted. The satin-like fabric carries a delicate sheen that catches the red carpet lights without becoming overly glossy.
The neckline is structured and straight across the shoulders, creating a clean frame that places full attention on the jewelry. At the center of the styling sits the Chopard Red Carpet Collection “Caroline’s Universe” 2025 collar necklace, detailed with diamonds and dominated by a large green cabochon emerald that immediately draws focus against the dark gown.
The emerald centerpiece shifts the entire composition of the red carpet look, turning the minimalist black dress into a dramatic backdrop for the statement jewelry. Matching diamond rings echoed the sparkle of the necklace, while her classic red lip added contrast and sharpened the overall styling.
She completed the Cannes premiere appearance with black Saint Laurent Patent Calfskin Zoe pumps, whose glossy pointed finish mirrored the sleek structure of the gown without distracting from the emerald collar.
