Lily Collins wears Cartier gold Love jewels at the French Open

Lily Collins turned a Saint Laurent leather jacket into something far more refined at Roland-Garros, where the hard, matte surface of the outerwear was warmed immediately by Cartier Love jewelry. The result was not red-carpet spectacle but a smarter, more wearable kind of luxury: gold that read as part of the outfit rather than an accessory added after the fact.

Collins attended Day Nine of the 2026 French Open in Paris on June 1, and she sat with her Emily in Paris co-star Ashley Park during a men’s singles match. Around them, the tournament’s celebrity draw also included Chris Pine, Salma Hayek, Kaya Scodelario and William Abadie, reinforcing how easily Roland-Garros now functions as a fashion stop as much as a tennis one. Collins’s jacket was described as closer to an oversized blazer silhouette than to literal tennis-core, which is exactly why the jewelry worked: the tailoring language was sharp, but not severe.

The Cartier pieces did the styling heavy lifting. Love hoops in 18K yellow gold brought polish at ear level, while a Love ring, mini model, paved in rose gold and diamonds, added a precise flash of light without tipping into evening territory. That balance matters. The hoops gave the look width and brightness, the ring gave it texture and sparkle, and together they kept the outfit from feeling costume-like. Against black leather, yellow gold softens the line of the jacket; it catches the eye the way a satin lapel would, but with more ease and less formality.

The price point also tells the story. Cartier lists the diamond-paved Love ring at $5,550 on its U.S. site, a number that places it firmly in investment-jewelry territory, yet still within the realm of pieces meant to be worn repeatedly. That is the Love collection’s enduring strength. Cartier says the line began with the iconic bracelet created in New York in 1969, and the screw motif has since been carried into rings and earrings designed for daily wear. The motif gives the jewelry recognizable structure, while the gold finish keeps it grounded enough for daylight.

Collins was named a Cartier ambassador in 2021, so the pairing also reads as an extension of a long-running image rather than a one-off styling stunt. On her, the formula was clear: one leather jacket, one polished gold hoop, one diamond-dusted ring, and suddenly a tough outer layer becomes a lesson in how to wear fine jewelry in the daytime without making it feel precious.
