The brands that regularly appear in #RushTok videos during sorority recruitment aren't typically the same designers that dominate red carpets throughout award season, but Kendra Scott has found herself beloved by both cultural touchstones. The jewelry brand, which is based in Austin, Texas, is known for its accessibly priced earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. However, it was the designer's more expensive fine jewelry line that just made a major appearance on the red carpet last night.

At the 2026 Golden Globes, Leighton Meester paired a Miu Miu strapless column gown—which was hand-embroidered with paillettes and crystals—with Kendra Scott'sLab-Grown White Diamond Custom Elisa Linear Earrings and Lab-Grown White Diamond Custom Elisa Tennis 14k Yellow Gold Necklace. It's not every day that Kendra Scott is worn to such a high-profile award show, but something tells me Meester's look won't be the last. Scroll down to get a close-up look.
