Anne Hathaway appears at the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing Bulgari high jewelry

Bvlgari Global Ambassador and actress Anne Hathaway appeared at the Met Gala in New York wearing a high jewelry necklace from the Monete collection, featuring a yellow gold silver coin (Lucania, Velia, c. 400-350 BC) and pavé diamonds.

Embodying Bvlgari's signature Greco-Roman heritage, the Monete collection was born from Bvlgari's desire to create something entirely unique, deeply rooted in its history. "Monete" - Italian for "coin" - perfectly embodies Bvlgari's blend of past and present, lending a sophisticated nuance as a tribute to Bvlgari's illustrious roots.

Ancient coins are more than just treasures; they are clues to our history. From cultural gods to ancient empires, dynasties and testaments to glory, they tell fascinating stories, a blend of myth and heritage. Within the rounded contours of coins, the entire world is reflected. Set in relief in silver or bronze, with gold and diamonds, each one a rare and precious gem. Rounded shapes, linear contours and harmonious volumes: Bvlgari uses techniques that amplify the allure, making each piece of jewellery particularly striking.

Since the 1950s, Bvlgari has maintained a close relationship with Hollywood and its extraordinary women. Academy Award-winning actress and Bvlgari global ambassador Anne Hathaway once again demonstrated this strong relationship. Her Met Gala outfit, designed by stylist Erin Walsh, perfectly captures Bvlgari's signature Italian elegance.

They each commented as follows:

"As always, I am truly honored to have the opportunity to wear Bvlgari jewelry. Monete is one of my favorite Bvlgari collections, so I am thrilled to be able to wear this piece at the Met Gala. These pieces beautifully capture Bvlgari's heritage and pioneering spirit, and you can truly feel them in your hands."

Bvlgari Global Ambassador Anne Hathaway

"Monete is one of Bvlgari's signature collections. Its designs transcend the ages, from Magna Graecia to the Roman Empire and beyond. Bvlgari has given these pieces a second chance, treating them as genuine gemstones, further highlighting their value with an unconventional approach that has created a look that is recognizable worldwide and contributed to the brand's unique style. Bvlgari Global Ambassador Anne Hathaway will be wearing Monete on an important red carpet like the Met Gala. It is a great honor for Bulgari to have Monete wear the necklace. Not only is she an incredibly talented actress, but she is also a woman of incredible style and unique, contemporary elegance. She perfectly embodies the iconic design values that are so dear to Bulgari."

Bulgari Group CEO Jean-Christophe Babin

"Monete is pure Bulgari. She delves deeply into the past, transforming antique coins into something entirely new. The Monete High Jewelry necklace she is wearing is a fitting piece for a modern-day Bulgari muse!"
