Hollywood’s biggest night has once again delivered a red carpet brimming with spectacle, sophistication, and more than a few scene-stealing moments. For the 2025 Academy Awards, the style memo was all about statement glamour with a contemporary twist — think sculptural silhouettes, sumptuous textures, and a masterclass in high-impact minimalism. Monochrome made a commanding return, liquid metallics shimmered under the lights, and bold splashes of crimson and sapphire brought high-voltage drama.
From effortlessly undone to razor-sharp tailoring, this year’s fashion darlings proved that timeless elegance and modern audacity make for an unforgettable pairing.

For those unfamiliar with Sophie Bille Brahe, this exquisite, Copenhagen-based brand was established in 2011 by the woman whose name it bears and has, since then, grown to become one of the most sought-after names in fine jewellery around the world.
Renowned for its signature asymmetrical designs that see sparkling diamonds and clusters of pearls set in sophisticated, gold spirals, fine florals or undulating waves, Sophie Bille Brahe’s pieces marry uniquely minimalistic Scandinavian design with luxurious materials in a way that makes them feel as elevated and special as they are inherently wearable — not an easy balance to strike.
Now, a curated collection of Sophie Bille Brahe jewellery is available to shop at Muse, giving discerning customers the opportunity to procure Muse’s highly respected buyer Michele Halliday-Szczepanski’s hand-selected favourites from their collections, directly from Paris Fashion Week.

Full of meaning and made to be worn with purpose, Sophie Bille Brahe’s pieces are future classics and deserve a central place in any well-curated jewellery collection.
