The 2025 Met Gala once again became a stage for bold fashion statements, seamlessly blending haute couture with exquisite accessories—luxury watches included. Several top celebrities showed off timepieces that didn’t just complete their outfits but also reflected their personalities and prestige.
Interestingly, Luxehouze saw room for creative mix-and-match ideas—alternative watch pairings that could inspire you to shine just as bright. Here’s what we envision:
Hailey Bieber: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini
Hailey Bieber, wife of musician Justin Bieber, stunned at the 2025 Met Gala in a gold gown paired with a vintage white gold Audemars Piguet with an opal dial—a subtle yet distinctive choice.
However, Luxehouze offers Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini Yellow Gold as a bolder alternative. Crafted in 18k yellow gold and sized at just 23 mm, this piece marries timeless design with modern-day opulence. Its signature “Petite Tapisserie” dial, luminous yellow gold markers, and hammered bracelet make it a standout inspiration for those who want to turn heads without sacrificing elegance.
Barry Keoghan: Rolex Daytona
Barry Keoghan opted for a strong, masculine look with the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 42 mm in Moonshine™ Gold—a full gold-on-gold piece made from Omega’s proprietary gold alloy, radiating boldness.
Luxehouze reimagines this energy with Rolex Daytona 126503 Champagne. Combining oystersteel and yellow gold, the watch features a champagne dial with contrasting subdials for a sporty yet refined appearance. A perfect pick if you’re aiming for confident style in a golden finish.
Henry Goulding: Cartier Tank
Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding chose the Cartier Tank à Guichets, a digital-mechanical timepiece known for its hidden time display and vintage charm.
As a more wearable alternative with classic appeal, Luxehouze suggests Cartier Tank XL.
Made from rose gold and sized at 33.7 x 25.5 mm, this model embraces the iconic Tank silhouette, complete with a sapphire cabochon crown, Roman numerals, and blued steel sword-shaped hands.
Inside, the manual-winding Caliber 1917 MC powers the piece with a 38-hour reserve. Paired with a semi-matte brown alligator strap and rose gold pin buckle, it’s a timeless expression of sophistication—refined yet statement-worthy.
Do you lean toward the original celebrity timepieces with character, or are you ready to explore new styling possibilities with Luxehouze’s curated alternatives?
Either way, a luxury watch is never just a timekeeper. It’s a statement of style, a reflection of individuality, and a visual investment with a story worth telling.
