Mariah Carey took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards 2025, dripping in $10 million worth of jewelry by Levuma on Sunday night in New York City.

The venerated singer, who performed a medley of her hits before accepting the Video Vanguard Award, wore the “Rosée Éternelle” diamond necklace and earrings from Levuma, valued at $10 million. She also wore a bracelet by Etho Maria, styled by Wilfredo Rosado and placed by D’Orazio World.

The necklace took more than 600 hours to craft, designed in a rivière style with 204.38 carats of white diamonds, shaped and placed in Levuma’s Antwerp atelier. The necklace was set in platinum with D–F color and VVS+ clarity, elements of the jewelry brand’s craftsmanship.

“To see Mariah Carey — an artist of such global impact and timeless presence — wear Lebuma is a true celebration of brilliance,” Ali Khalil, founder of Levuma, said in a statement. “’Rosée Éternelle’ was created to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments, and this was exactly that.”

Carey’s statement jewelry pieces accessorized the “Fantasy” singer’s Julian Mendez Couture custom gold bodysuit. The look featured long sleeves and a plunging neckline with a zip-up element on the front placket of the garment.

As for her glam, Carey’s hair was styled with cascading soft curls courtesy of stylist Dior Sovoa. Her makeup featured a soft, glowing look by artist Kristofer Buckle. Carey’s MTV VMAs look was curated by stylist and designer Wilfredo Rosado.
