Chalamet paired his lemon yellow Givenchy suit with a vintage Cartier Baignoire 1960 from the label's Byzantine Collection.

Dated to 1994, the yellow gold timepiece features an engraved guilloché dial and a band encrusted with diamonds, rubies and sapphires. Chalamet stacked the $12,000 watch with two of the French jeweler's signature Love bangles.

Jeremy Strong

Strong continued his Richard Mille streak , accessorizing his khaki green Loro Piana suit with an RM 74-02.

Worth approximately $390,000 on the resale market, the automatic tourbillon watch is manufactured with Gold Carbon TPT. The high-tech material is exclusive to Richard Mille, and as its name suggests, is composed of carbon and gold leaf. Bevelled by hand, the baseplate and bridges of this RM 74-02 are made of 18-karat red and yellow gold.

Raye

Raye sported an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini with a frosted white gold finish and a 23-millimeter case. At retail, it costs $34,000 but on the resale market, it's worth nearly $60,000.

The singer, who performed as part of a James Bond tribute, modeled a custom corseted Vivienne Westwood gown on the red carpet.

Michelle Yeoh

Richard Mille brand ambassador Michelle Yeoh wore a snow-set diamond RM 07-01 watch.

The white gold timepiece, estimated to cost $320,000, features a chainlink bracelet and a skeletonized black dial. Yeoh's dazzling accessory complemented her cobalt satin Balenciaga gown.
