The Best Celebrity Oval Engagement Rings

Celebrity engagement rings have long set the tone for bridal trends – and none more so than the oval engagement ring. From red carpet debuts to viral Instagram reveals, the oval cut has become the go-to choice for A-listers looking for timeless sparkle with a modern edge. From Blake Lively’s blush-toned rock to Hailey Bieber’s sculptural solitaire and Ariana Grande’s headline-making toi et moi, the oval engagement ring is firmly in its fame era.

So, what is it about the oval cut diamond that makes it such a celebrity favourite? From its flattering silhouette to its brilliant sparkle and larger-than-life presence, we’re spotlighting the most iconic celebrity oval engagement rings – and why this elegant shape continues to dominate every ‘ring inspo’ board out there.

Blake Lively arguably kicked off the modern oval engagement ring obsession all the way back in 2012. Her now-famous 12 carat pink oval diamond, designed by Lorraine Schwartz, is as dreamy as it gets – set in rose gold with a delicate micro-pavé diamond band. The ring’s delicate setting enhances the feminine hue of the blush-toned centre stone, while the elongated oval cut adds just the right amount of drama. Romantic, refined and slightly vintage in feel, Blake’s ring continues to set the standard for timeless glamour.

Hailey Bieber’s love affair with oval engagement rings is well documented – and in 2024, she took things up a notch. Her original ring, a sleek 8ct oval diamond set in 18k yellow gold with a hidden diamond bezel, became the blueprint for minimalist bridal style.

Her updated ring, debuted in 2024, features a slightly larger, more elongated oval diamond – estimated at 10 carats – set in a similar solitaire ring style. Believed to be custom-made, the refined design subtly evolves her signature look without losing its timeless appeal. Elegant, understated and quietly luxurious, Hailey’s rings prove that classic doesn’t mean static – it just keeps getting better. Read more about Hailey Bieber's engagement and wedding rings here.

Ariana Grande’s 2020 engagement ring from Dalton Gomez was anything but conventional – and that’s exactly what makes it so memorable. Her toi et moi engagement ring pairs an off-set 8ct oval diamond with a 5–6mm pearl, set at an angle on a delicate yellow gold band. Designed by jeweller Jack Solow, the ring was said to have included a pearl from her grandfather’s tie pin, making it deeply sentimental. The unique pairing of the brilliant oval and smooth pearl sparked huge interest in asymmetrical and symbolic ring styles, showing that bespoke rings don’t always follow the rules.

While the design was unique and eye-catching, it's worth noting that pearls are very soft, reaching just 2.5 on the Mohs scale, making them unsuitable for everyday wear due to their susceptibility to damage – so we'd advise against including one in your engagement ring design.

Molly-Mae Hague’s engagement ring had fans swooning – and Googling – in summer 2023. Her large oval diamond is set on a platinum diamond set band, adding further sparkle to the already striking centrepiece. The elongated shape flatters the finger, while the diamond band setting enhances the sparkle and size of the diamond. Estimated to be around 5 carats, Molly-Mae’s ring leans into contemporary elegance, with a modern-meets-classic aesthetic that resonates with couples looking for a bold style in their engagement ring design. While the ring’s fate has been left a little... ambiguous since her public split from Tommy Fury, it’s still one of the most high-profile UK celeb rings to date.

Designed by Lorraine Schwartz in collaboration with Travis Barker, Kourtney Kardashian’s engagement ring features a striking 12 carat oval diamond set on a delicate platinum scallop diamond band – a dramatic, glitzy nod to old Hollywood glamour with a thoroughly modern edge. The slim band makes the centre stone the focal point, elongating the finger and amplifying the sparkle. Iconic, in every sense.

Vanessa Hudgens’ engagement ring is a masterclass in minimalist design. Her elegant 4ct oval diamond is set on a slim yellow gold band with a clean solitaire setting that keeps things refined and understated – very similar to our bestselling oval solitaire Bardot ring. The simplicity of the band lets the elongated diamond take centre stage, making it the ideal style for those who favour timeless, fuss-free elegance. It’s the kind of ring that doesn’t scream for attention – it simply shines.

Arguably one of the most famous engagement rings in the world, Kate Middleton’s oval sapphire halo engagement ring has made a lasting impression on bridal trends. Originally worn and selected by Princess Diana, the 12 carat blue Ceylon sapphire is surrounded by a halo of 14 diamonds and set in white gold. This royal heirloom ring is steeped in history and sentiment, making the case for coloured gemstones and vintage oval settings that blend tradition with enduring style.
