Monica Bellucci shares her simple pleasures, statement diamonds, and the style lessons she gives her daughters
Belluci serves as the film’s grand dame opposite stars like Lily Collins, Troye Sivan, and Maisie Williams. Though she sports a new version of the iconic Cartier high jewelry crocodile originally designed for Mexican actress María Félix in 1975 in Wales’s film, Bellucci readily admits that what draws her to a piece is less about carats than connection. “Sometimes it’s just about a personal moment,” she shared on the phone from Paris.
For Bellucci, jewelry serves as a final, personal touch that completes a look. As such, she gravitates towards statement pieces with exciting backstories and innate power. “They say each stone has its own energy,” she says. “So, when you wear these pieces of art, you’re in touch with that. It’s always fascinating to go to the Cartier atelier and see the artisans at work, because it allows you to appreciate the experience even more.
Case in point: Bellucci’s repeat use of the interlocking crocodile motif at the Cannes Film Festival. Back in 2006, she celebrated her first time on the main competition jury by wearing Félix’s 18-karat yellow gold and brilliant cut yellow diamond original to the premiere of. Eleven years later, she’d revisit the design while hosting the opening ceremony, this time in 18-karat white gold and 66.86 karats of Colombian emeralds.
Upbeat nostalgia is key to Wales’s film, in which Bellucci and a host of stars sing along to Roger Glover & Guest’s peppy 1974 pop hit, ‘Love Is All,’ while decked out in Cartier. Filmed on location in Paris, Shanghai, and Los Angeles, the project’s message of unity resonated with the star. “I had so much fun filming,” says Bellucci. “The campaign is incredibly elegant, and it’s a pleasure to celebrate love, passion, and energy with so many people from all over the world.
