Beyonce Is First Black Woman to Wear Iconic 128-carat Tiffany Diamond

August 24, 2021

Singer Beyoncé and her rapper husband Jay-Z are once again turning heads. And this time, they're making history, too.

The powerhouse couple is the new face of a Tiffany & Co. ad campaign "celebrating modern love," the luxury jeweler announced today.

Photos from the "ABOUT LOVE" campaign — including several shared on Beyoncé's Instagram — are drawing admiration across social media, both for the stunning images and the historic firsts they represent.

Beyoncé can be seen wearing a large yellow diamond necklace in the photos. That's the iconic 128-carat Tiffany Diamond, which the company acquired in 1878 and rarely puts on display (Audrey Hepburn famously wore it in publicity photos for Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Lady Gaga wore it to the 2019 Academy Awards).

Beyoncé is only the fourth woman, and first Black woman, to wear the diamond in more than a century.
