When a star borrows jewelry to wear on a red carpet, the information about it is typically announced in a simple press release issued by the jeweler or their publicity firm. On July 24, however, a major credit quickly gave way to a tangled web of confusion.
It all started at 10:53 A.M., when Chopard, the Swiss jeweler and watchmaker, sent out a press release featuring two pictures of Zendaya at the Shanghai premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, alongside a description of the massive diamond-and-19-carat-yellow-sapphire spider brooch the actress wore pinned to the hip of her archival Atelier Versace gown from spring 2016. There were also details about the ring she wore on her right hand. (The Rolex diamond watch on Zendaya’s wrist was, of course, not listed in Chopard’s missive.)
