From asking the hairstylist for “The Rachel” to taking lifestyle tips from Gwyneth Paltrow, we love to look to celebrities for inspiration in our own lives. So why not take a page out of Hollywood’s book when selecting an engagement ring? While you may not match the jaw-dropping carat sizes on celebrity ring fingers, you can certainly echo their style, cut, and design.
Here are some of the most popular celebrity engagement rings of all time, with tips on how to achieve their look at a fraction of the cost. (Psst, don’t forget to clear your browsing history after reading to avoid sparking engagement rumors!)
1. Kate Middleton
Arguably the most famous engagement ring in the world, the Duchess of Cambridge’s ring also graced the finger of her mother-in-law, Princess Diana. The 18-carat sapphire and diamond ring was a bold choice off the public market in 1981, rather than a custom design.
To replicate this ring, opt for a sapphire as your center stone instead of a diamond. You can also try sapphires as side stones around a central oval diamond in a halo setting.
2. Angelina Jolie
After seven years of dating, Brad Pitt presented Angelina Jolie with a custom-designed stunner featuring a 7-carat emerald-cut diamond flanked by smaller emerald diamonds, totaling 16 carats. This ring exemplifies celebrity engagement style.
For a similar effect, start with an emerald-cut diamond and flank it with smaller baguette diamonds. Alternatively, consider a split shank setting for a unique twist.
3. Hailey Bieber
Justin Bieber, with help from jeweler Jack Solow, designed Hailey Bieber’s engagement ring, featuring an oval-shaped diamond on a simple 18k gold band. Valued at approximately $1.5 million, it exudes simplicity and luxury.
To recreate this look, consider a hidden halo with an oval-shaped diamond on an 18k yellow-gold setting.
4. Kourtney Kardashian
Travis Barker proposed to Kourtney Kardashian with a large oval-shaped diamond ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz. The ring, weighing approximately 10 carats and valued at $500,000, captures a timeless elegance.
For a similar style, try an oval-shaped diamond on a 14k yellow gold band.
5. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s engagement ring, featuring a heart-shaped diamond, was a gift from Taylor Kinney on Valentine’s Day. The ring includes white diamonds spelling out “T <3 S” on the underside of the band.
For a similar romantic vibe, select a heart-cut diamond on a simple solitaire band. Consider this classic solitaire ring.
6. Victoria Beckham
Over her marriage, David Beckham gifted Victoria with fifteen engagement rings, the latest being a square-cut yellow diamond in a platinum pavé band.
For a similar look, opt for a 1.50-carat diamond in a cathedral setting on an 18k golden band.
7. Megan Fox
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s unique “Toi et Moi” engagement ring features their birthstones—a 3-carat D-color antique cut pear diamond and a 3-carat pear-shaped Colombian emerald—on an 18k white-gold band.
If you love the symbolism of “Toi et Moi” rings, consider a Pear Diamond & Sapphire ring for a historical touch.
8. Zoe Saldana
Zoe Saldana’s engagement ring features a pear-shaped emerald in a halo of micropavé diamonds, framed by trillion-cut diamonds.
For a similar style, choose a pear-shaped center stone. If you prefer a more traditional look, consider a diamond center with emerald accents.
9. Grace Kelly
Prince Rainier of Monaco proposed to Grace Kelly with a 10.47-carat emerald cut diamond ring, flanked by baguette stones.
To achieve a similar look, consider a ring featuring an emerald-cut diamond in a classic baguette setting.

Justin Timberlake proposed to Jessica Biel with a vintage-inspired ring featuring a six-carat diamond, flanked by aquamarine side stones, and surrounded by a double halo.
For a similar vintage flair, start with a radiant or cushion-cut diamond in an Art Deco halo setting.
