Meryl Streep, who received the Honorary Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday (15), donned an exceptional outfit adorned with jewelry crafted by Indian designer Hanut Singh.
We generally see, Indian celebrities in Indian designer wear or Indian jewellery, but it is rare to spot someone from Hollywood to appreciate the beauty of Indian craftsmanship. This time Meryl Streep was spotted wearing dazzling earrings by Indian designer Hanut Singh.
Tuesday night marked the pompous 77th Cannes Film Festival 2024 commencement, as celebrities graced the opulent Grand Theatre Lumiere’s red carpet to honour Meryl Streep. “I’m just so grateful that you haven’t gotten sick of my face,” Streep humorously remarked while accepting the prestigious award.

The veteran actor was in white formal attire and what made it more significant was those crystal clear earrings designed by Hanut Singh. The acclaimed actor adorned a satin Dior wrap dress, complemented by earrings with roots in India.
Hanut Singh’s jewellery exudes an effervescent, delicate charm while boldly capturing attention. Drawing inspiration from both the fragility of flowers and the strength of geometric shapes, Singh’s creations seamlessly blend modernity with tradition, marrying influences from both Indian and European aesthetics.
Skillfully intertwining techniques from medieval Mughal and Rajput workshops with elements of art deco and art nouveau, his jewels possess an evocative and understated beauty.
Within Singh’s designs, stones nestle within stones, pearls complement shells, and crystals shimmer against gold, creating intricate worlds reminiscent of floral fragrances and starry radiance.
Rooted in concepts such as Puja, which acknowledges the divine mystery in everyday life; Maya, symbolizing the grandeur of royal splendor; and Lila, representing the playful essence of existence, his jewellery celebrates the vitality of all living beings.
