Zendaya created a lot of buzz at the Golden Globes 2025. The actor, who was nominated for her leading roles in Dune: Part 2 and Challengers, arrived on the red carpet in a stunning topaz dress with matching copper hair and orange makeup, committing to some of the season’s biggest trends. While the look itself is buzz-worthy, some eagle-eyed fans were focused on a specific detail, speculating if she was potentially wearing an engagement ring.
This morning, TMZ reported that Zendaya and Tom Holland are engaged, according to “sources close to the couple,” sparking even more conversation about this mysterious ring. Here's everything we noted about the ring spotted on Zendaya's finger so far!
People first took notice of the ring being on her left ring finger, traditionally where engagement rings are worn. “Wait a minute,” wrote one X user, zooming in on the ring on her hand. The same user added, “doesn’t match her other pieces.” From the photos at the Golden Globes 2025, the ring on her left hand seemingly has a gold band, contrasting the platinum silver finish of her necklace and the other ring on her right hand. Similarly, her other jewelry featured paraiba tourmaline, the light blue gemstones, but the ring on her left hand did not. Other fans were watching her throughout the night and think she was spotted reaching her left hand out to Spider-Man producer, Amy Pascal. She did show it off to a Los Angeles Times reporter who asked about it. Later on during the Golden Globes, she also had an outfit change. She swapped her orange dress for a beige jacquard slip and took off the statement necklace, but the ring on her left hand was still there.
Zendaya is a brand ambassador for the luxury house Bulgari and is regularly spotted wearing their jewelry. While her necklace, earrings and right-hand ring on the red carpet were indeed credited to the Italian brand, the ring on her left was not. An anonymous tip to DeuxMoi alleged that the ring is instead from Jessica McCormack, a London-based jewelry designer. Though the brand has not yet been confirmed, the ring does happen to feature an east-west diamond, based on photos from the Golden Globes, similar to one on the Jessica McCormack website.
While few details about the ring have been confirmed, experts are already beginning to estimate the value. Based off the photos, UK jeweler Steven Stone wrote that the ring featured a “six carat cushion-cut diamond,” estimating it to be $300,000 and adding, “I wouldn't be surprised if it was worth even more.” Lorel Diamond's Ring Specialist Laura Taylor echoes this, writing, “The diamond appears to be of excellent quality, likely VVS clarity and near-colorless (D-F), which would place the ring’s value at approximately £300,000-£400,000 ($370,000-$500,000), depending on whether it is natural or lab-grown.”
Some experts also think the ring could be part of a larger trend. “Zendaya’s ring appears to feature a prominent cushion-cut diamond as the center stone, combining vintage charm and modern brilliance,” Diamonds Factory Jewelry Expert Ella Citron-Thompkins wrote in an email sharing commentary. “There has been on average 4,000 monthly searches for ‘cushion-cut diamond’ in the UK, with searches being up 57% in the past month. I forecast that these cushion cuts will be a huge hit in 2025, as more and more people will want to emulate Zendaya’s style. I have no doubt Zendaya’s ring is a popular choice amongst those purchasing a diamond ring. A cushion-cut diamond has a versatile blend of classic elegance and modern sparkle, featuring a timeless design and romantic shape.”
ICYMI: Zendaya has been dating Tom Holland for quite some time now. The duo originally were co-stars in the Spider-Man reboot series that began in 2017. Both Zendaya and Holland have typically opted to keep many details private throughout their relationship and have yet to say anything about the engagement or the ring publicly.
