The glamorous closing look of the show featured a dramatic Bach Mai gown and offered a first look at the partners’ co-designed “Le Bal” diamond necklace. The one-of-a-kind fine jewellery piece, valued at $5 million, features a 32-carat Fancy Yellow pear-cut diamond centre stone, complemented by an additional 15 carats of pavé-set diamonds, all set in 18-karat yellow gold and platinum. Its alluring design showcases exceptional jewellery artistry, a unique Leviev diamond, and the feminine, extravagant forms seen throughout Bach Mai’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
Bach Mai shared, “I am so excited to be partnering with Leviev, a house deeply steeped in diamond heritage and jewellery savoir-faire. I can think of no better match for our couture-influenced gowns than the timeless elegance of Leviev’s diamond masterpieces. I have always had a love for fine jewellery, and the opportunity to collaborate with the amazing artisans at Leviev and their magnificent gems to create a unique and extraordinary piece of jewellery is a dream come true.”

The event culminated in a remarkable moment, as Bach Mai and Leviev paid homage to an iconic moment in fashion history – recreating Cecil Beaton’s iconic 1948 shoot of Charles James designs. Guests were invited into the tableau to closely admire the models clad in Leviev jewellery and Bach Mai designs.
Leviev, the high jewellery house led by Chagit Leviev and Greg Sofiev, curated a special Beaton-inspired jewellery collection for the occasion. Each of the exquisite jewellery designs, named after Cecil Beaton and many of the models featured in the iconic 1948 shoot, showcases the extraordinary breadth and expertise of Leviev and the world’s rarest colourless diamonds and fancy colour diamonds. Altogether, the Leviev collection presented is valued well over $50 million and represents countless thousands of carats of diamonds.

Actor Caylee Cowen, tech entrepreneur Lucy Guo, and social influencer Amina Kadyrova also wore Leviev jewellery for the event. Other well-heeled attendees included Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Tanner Adell, Bailey Bass, and Jessica Wang.
