Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis walked the red carpet at Cannes on Wednesday of last week, wearing a rather incredible ensemble with gorgeous jewels.

Chopard is an official partner of the film festival—they make the Palme d’Or—and its jewels have been all over the red carpet as usual this year. (The 76 pieces in the firm’s annual Red Carpet High Jewelry collection this year are inspired by the arts.) Viola wore a pair of diamond earrings…

…but the show-stopping jewel from her ensemble was, without a doubt, the orchid brooch pinned to the shoulder of her dress.

The gorgeous, naturalistic brooch is set with diamonds and various shades of pink and purple gemstones.

The brooch added an extra playful, glamorous touch that elevated the outfit even more for me.

And between the diamonds and the feathers, Viola was clearly having a blast, too. I love a fun jewelry moment, don’t you?
