There are few pieces of jewellery more personal than an engagement ring. Of course, when we slip an engagement ring onto our finer, we do so with the intention of wearing it for life, so it stands to reason that choosing the right ring is pretty important. Like any other corner of the fashion and jewellery industries, there are engagement ring trends that pop up and fizzle out every year, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
With each new trend comes an opportunity to ask yourself whether you may have found the style of ring you would like to wear for many years to come. Ahead, we look to the celebrities who got engaged this year to see how they have made enduring trends their own (you’ll notice more than a couple of oval-cut diamonds in the mix), or how they’ve creatively bucked the trends to create a unique ring to celebrate their love.
From antique-cut diamonds to multi-stone designs, we hope the celebrity engagement rings below provide some inspiration for your own engagement ring.
1. Lady Gaga
Oval Diamond on a Pavé Platinum Band
It became clear that Lady Gaga was engaged back in July when she introduced Michael Polansky to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal as her fiancé at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Finally, in September, we also got a good look at her engagement ring, which stars an impressive oval-cut diamond set on a platinum band featuring pavé diamonds. Experts have guessed that the centre stone is an impressive eight carats.
2. Halsey
Non-Diamond Centre Stone
In 2024, engagement rings don’t need to feature a diamond. In fact, a coloured stone is a beautiful way to show off your personal style through your sentimental piece of jewellery. Halsey’s engagement ring is further proof of this fact, with a green centre stone that’s flanked by what appear to be diamonds, all set on a thin yellow gold band.
3. Ashanti
Platinum Pavé Band
When we heard that Ashanti and Nelly were engaged and pregnant, it warmed our cold little Y2K-loving hearts. Her ring appears to defy all rules of physics, with a huge oval-cut centre stone set on an impossibly thin pavé diamond band. TikTok sleuths have guessed that her centre diamond is between seven and 10 carats and also features a hidden halo underneath the diamond.
4. Emma Roberts
Chunky Gold Band

This year has seen many people move towards chunkier gold bands for their engagement ring and that’s even true for Emma Roberts. Experts have guessed that her solitaire diamond is likely around the 3.5-carat mark, but we particularly love the detailing on her gold band and thin, white gold or platinum bezel setting, which gives the illusion of a floating stone.
5. Saoirse Monica-Jackson
Three-Stone Ring
Derry Girls‘ Saoirse Monica-Jackson’s engagement ring is the epitome of modern bridal, with a three-stone getting that features a round centre stone flanked by a triangular stone on either side. The classic gold band is contrasted with white gold or platinum prongs, to allow the stones to take centre stage in this gorgeous setting.
6. Phoebe Dynevor
Bezel Set Diamonds
When we think of Phoebe Dynevor, we also think of words like elegant and effortless — so it’s hardly a surprise that those are the exact descriptors we’d use for her engagement ring, too. She quietly debuted the ring at the 2024 Met Gala, but we got a good look at it when she attended the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 in Barcelona later that same month. Her ring appears to be a minimalist, bezel-set design, with a single oval-cut diamond, and it has proven once again that the oval-cut diamond will never go out of style.
7. Phoebe Tonkin

In case you need further proof that the oval-cut, bezel setting was a big celebrity engagement ring trend for 2024, we think this gorgeous photo of Phoebe Tonkin will put that desire to rest. She announced her engagement in October, with a series of sweet photos captioned “Film back from the summer of love”. The bezel setting adds balance to the thin gold band, and no doubt adds some much-needed security around that dazzling centre stone.
8. Nina Dobrev
Antique-Cut Diamonds
We’ll always have a soft spot for vintage and vintage-style diamonds. Nina Dobrev’s engagement ring features a large centre diamond, estimated to be around the five-carat mark. The larger faceting and “spready” style has TikTok sleuths speculating that this elongated cushion cut diamond may be an old mine cut diamond, which is a style of diamond that was most common during the early 18th century to late 19th century.
