New Delhi: Bvlgari’s Eclettica High Jewellery collection has captivated the luxury world with its debut, spotlighting Anne Hathaway as the epitome of elegance at the glamorous launch event in Milan. Held at the majestic Villa Arconati on 23 March 2026, this unveiling brought together global ambassadors like Priyanka Chopra and Dua Lipa, blending Italian heritage with bold innovation in high jewellery. Anne Hathaway, a longtime Bvlgari muse, turned heads, offering a tantalising glimpse into the collection’s artistic mastery. Fashion enthusiasts and jewellery aficionados alike are buzzing about how this moment redefines red-carpet fashion, merging allure with craftsmanship.

Anne Hathaway’s debut promises not just jewels, but stories etched in rare stones—each piece a testament to Bvlgari’s unyielding pursuit of perfection. What lies beneath the surface? A collection that transforms wearers into living artworks, poised to dominate 2026’s high jewellery trends.

Painting with gemstones, Bvlgari’s Secret Garden necklace evokes Rome’s intimate courtyards at sunset, serving as the heart of the Eclettica High Jewellery collection debuted by Anne Hathaway. At its centre glows an exceptionally rare 26.65-carat pink-orange Padparadscha sapphire from Sri Lanka, long pursued by Jewellery Creative Director Lucia Silvestri, who described it as “love at first sight… its balance of pink and orange is simply extraordinary.” In Roman light, the gem appears almost aflame, its colour alive, recalling the roses of hidden gardens immortalised by painters across centuries.

Conceived entirely around the stone’s singularity, the composition features meticulously calibrated details: baguettes paired with round cuts, onyx inlays, purple sapphires interspersed with cabochon emeralds—every element considered, refined, and perfected. Leaf-like pavé diamonds bookend domed cabochon emeralds and purple sapphires, with the pink, green, and purple sparklers hand-assembled over 1,200 hours, channeling the natural fluidity of climbing plants. Valued near $3 million, this pièce de résistance underscores Bvlgari’s ‘artmanship’ in the 160-piece collection.

Iconic Red Valentino Dress

Anne Hathaway paired the Secret Garden necklace with a bespoke Valentino ballgown, custom-made by creative director Alessandro Michele for the Eclettica debut, elevating her to red-carpet royalty. The tomato-red, floor-length design boasts a plunging V-neckline—adapted from an original turtleneck—a voluminous billowing skirt with an elongated train, and cape-like sleeves that flowed dramatically. Covered entirely in textured, iridescent fabric mimicking wood grain—a signature motif from Valentino’s Spring 2025 Couture—this gown amplified Spring 2026’s bold red trend.

Stylist Erin Walsh ensured the outfit’s perfection, with the V-plunge providing ideal space for the necklace to shine amidst the gown’s structured bodice and opulent silhouette. Complemented by matching Eclectica earrings and rings featuring yellow gemstones, Hathaway’s ensemble blended high fashion with high jewellery, sparking viral acclaim for its sophisticated drama. This look cements her status as a style icon at luxury events.

Bvlgari Eclettica’s debut dazzled with Priyanka Chopra in emerald cascades, Dua Lipa sporting vibrant gemstone earrings, and Jake Gyllenhaal’s sleek diamond cuffs. Liu Yifei shone in floral pink sapphire brooches, amplifying the 160-piece collection’s allure. This star-studded ensemble redefined high jewellery glamour.

Hathaway’s Eclettica debut reaffirms Bvlgari’s prowess in high jewellery, where rare gems meet masterful design—setting the stage for a season of unparalleled glamour. As admirers dissect every detail, one thing is clear: this is luxury redefined.
