Hudson Williams Dazzles at TIFF Premiere with $700K in Bulgari Diamonds and Custom Grill

Hudson Williams made a glittering appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for the premiere of "Yaga," adorning himself with approximately $700,000 worth of Bulgari diamonds and a custom diamond grill.

The 25-year-old actor sported Bulgari's High Jewelry Serpenti necklace, crafted from white gold and encrusted with pavé stones, featuring pear-cut diamond snake eyes. A similar necklace is available for purchase at $525,000. He complemented the necklace with High Jewelry Serpenti earrings in yellow and white gold, set with 36 marquise-cut diamonds and four pear-cut rubies. The brand prices comparable earrings at approximately 100,000 EUR (about $115,000 USD). Williams also wore a matching Serpenti ring, valued at $59,000, which features emerald eyes and 3.58 carats of pavé diamonds.

In addition to the Bulgari pieces, Williams showcased a custom diamond grill created by Los Angeles jeweler Christy Cash. The grill covers his top incisors and canines with pavé stones. Cash had previously designed a grill for Williams for a Met Gala after-party in May, which incorporated white gold, opal, and a miniature Venus de Milo sculpture.

Williams' ensemble for the "Yaga" premiere included a head-to-toe look from the Nigerian brand Orange Culture. He wore the Sap blazer ($409) and matching trousers ($205), paired with a red chiffon Sunfade shirt ($184) that featured a floor-skimming train. His footwear consisted of red Fly faux-leather mules ($164).

Stylist Anastasia Walker curated Williams' look, with grooming by Aika Flores.

In the film "Yaga," a contemporary adaptation of the Baba Yaga folklore, Williams portrays a missing fishery heir. The Crave series is set to premiere on Oct. 23 in Canada and on AMC+ in the United States.

Williams is also currently in production for the second season of "Heated Rivalry," a popular Crave hockey romance series where he stars alongside Connor Storrie.
