"The result was a "more three dimensional" recreation of the treasured items that once belonged to Eugénie de Montijo, wife of Napoleon III. Originally made for Eugénie in 1853, the pearl-diamond tiara was created by jeweler Alexandre-Gabriel Lemonnier. The piece features more than 200 pearls, 2,000 diamonds, and 1,000 rose-cut diamonds all arranged into an intricate design that mimics leaves and foliage."
"The set was inspired by Empress Eugénie's pearl and diamond diadem and her large diamond bodice bow, which were among the valuable pieces that were stolen in the infamous Louvre heist last October. Taylor matched the stunning jewels with dramatic outfit, which included a sheer black dress in floral lace layered under a black floor-length coat and fishnet gloves. "I was going home for a walk from the office, it was right after the jewels had been stolen from the Louvre," Roseberry told Vanity Fair."
Schiaparelli presented couture pieces reimagining the Louvre's stolen Empress Eugénie jewels, featuring a pearl-and-diamond diadem and a large diamond bow necklace. Teyana Taylor wore an extravagant pearl-and-diamond crown and a flamboyant diamond-studded bow necklace by designer Daniel Roseberry, paired with a sheer black floral-lace dress, a black floor-length coat, and fishnet gloves. Roseberry conceived the idea shortly after the Louvre theft and aimed for a more three-dimensional recreation of the treasured objects. The original diadem, made in 1853 by Alexandre-Gabriel Lemonnier, contained over 200 pearls, 2,000 diamonds, and 1,000 rose-cut diamonds.
