Taylor Swift pairs $80 Nadri pendant with Oscar de la Renta gown at Toy Story 5 premiere

Taylor Swift turned an $80 necklace into the sharpest note in a far pricier look at the Toy Story 5 premiere in Los Angeles on June 9. She arrived first in a patchwork Erdem minidress, then changed into an Oscar de la Renta Spring 2026 Porcelain Flower Embroidered Sleeveless Gown that retailed for $8,990 and later sold out, wearing the pendant for her performance after the screening.

The gown did much of the visual storytelling. Its butter-yellow field was decorated with crystal, sequin and porcelain flower appliqués, with cream daisies spread across the bodice, so the jewelry had to complement texture without competing with it. Swift chose Nadri’s Macaron Yellow Cushion CZ Pendant, set on an 18K gold-plated chain and priced at $80, a cushion-cut cubic zirconia design Nadri positions for everyday wear or special occasions. The piece worked because it echoed the dress’s soft floral palette while staying light enough to read as effortless, not overstyled.

Swift’s other jewelry followed the same logic. She wore diamond drop earrings by Alder Fine Jewellery, a Miraki tennis bracelet reportedly priced at $2,080, a Selim Mouzannar ring reportedly priced at $4,410 and her Kindred Lubeck engagement ring. The effect was restrained sparkle rather than pile-on glamour, with each piece contributing a distinct surface or silhouette. For buyers trying to copy the mood, the formula is straightforward: one pendant with a clean, cushion or round-cut stone, a fine gold-plated or gold-toned chain, and one or two supporting pieces in the same temperature of metal. That combination gives a necklace enough presence to survive an evening look, even when the budget is closer to costume-jewelry territory than couture.

The appearance carried a personal charge beyond the clothes. Swift brought her original 1995 Toy Story VHS tape for Tom Hanks and Tim Allen to sign, then performed two songs after the screening, her new original track I Knew It, I Knew You and a duet of You’ve Got a Friend in Me with Randy Newman. Swift said on Instagram that she had dreamed of writing for Toy Story characters since she was 5, and Hanks said the song was kept “top secret” from much of the cast until release day.

Swift has long returned to Oscar de la Renta, and this outing showed why the house suits her so well: the craftsmanship is rich enough for a major premiere, while the jewelry can still pivot the look toward everyday relatability. In the end, the pendant mattered because it made the whole ensemble feel personal, not merely expensive.
