Paris Fashion Week consistently attracts Hollywood’s elite, and this season, Tiffany & Co. reaffirmed its status as a leading host. The jewelry brand has dedicated 2026 to celebrating its rich history, from a vibrant Blue Book collection in New York to a Valentine’s campaign featuring Adria Arjona.

This focus on legacy reached new heights this week in Paris. Tiffany collaborated with the Musée des Arts Décoratifs to kick off a multi-year preservation initiative honoring the legendary designer Jean Schlumberger, whose nature-inspired designs have been integral to the brand since 1956. This partnership includes a significant digital archive project aimed at conserving approximately 5,000 original sketches and 5,000 historical documents that have largely remained unseen by the public.

To celebrate this occasion, Tiffany gathered an impressive guest list for its dinner honoring the collaboration. Stars like Diane Kruger, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Greta Lee, Amanda Seyfried, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Adria Arjona were all present at the Tiffany & M.A.D. dinner in Paris, posing for photos in front of a backdrop that read “I am only a pencil,” a tribute to Schlumberger himself.

The dinner coincided with the launch of “I Am Only a Pencil,” an immersive exhibition curated in collaboration with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. This exhibit showcases the journey from a simple graphite stroke to a stunning high jewelry masterpiece, pairing delicate historical sketches with the actual treasures they inspired.

Schlumberger is one of only four jewelers whose creations have been signed for Tiffany & Co., making his pieces particularly sought after by collectors. He joined Tiffany in 1956 after Walter Hoving, the house’s chairman at the time, invited him to serve as vice president, granting him access to extraordinary gemstones and the maison’s artisans from his own studio on the mezzanine of the Fifth Avenue flagship.

The women at the Paris dinner are familiar faces at Tiffany events. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has long been associated with the brand, having worn her vintage Tiffany diamond engagement ring to the house’s April Blue Book gala in New York. Adria Arjona starred in Tiffany’s 2026 Valentine’s Day campaign, a cinematic short film reflecting the house’s storytelling tradition that dates back to 1837.

Greta Lee and Amanda Seyfried have also become regulars in Tiffany’s celebrity circle this year, both attending the New York Blue Book launch that unveiled the Hidden Garden collection in April. Diane Kruger and Anya Taylor-Joy complete a guest list that reflects several years of Tiffany’s most significant moments, from past Blue Book launches to red carpet campaigns.

The timing of the Paris celebration aligns closely with Tiffany’s broader initiatives for 2026. The house’s Blue Book 2026 collection, titled Hidden Garden, reinterprets several of Schlumberger’s iconic designs in fresh color combinations, according to artistic director Nathalie Verdeille’s fourth collection for this format.

This collection also garnered praise during Paris Couture Week, where the Monarch necklace, inspired by an archival Schlumberger design, was highlighted as one of the standout high jewelry pieces of the season. Even decades after his passing in 1987, Schlumberger’s work continues to influence how Tiffany designs and markets its most prestigious jewelry.

Events like this illustrate why brands vie for a presence in Paris during fashion week. Gathering such high-profile actors, from Oscar nominee Taylor-Joy to established stars like Kruger and Seyfried, underscores Tiffany’s commitment to preserving and promoting its design heritage.

For Tiffany, centering the dinner around Schlumberger’s archive rather than launching a new product signifies a shift towards storytelling over simple promotion.
