Irina Shayk & Julianne Moore Shine in Messika’s Moderniste 2026 Jewelry Campaign
Irina Shayk and Julianne Moore star in Messika’s Moderniste 2026 campaign, showcasing bold gold jewelry with a modern, sculptural edge.
Messika is leaning all the way into contrast for its Moderniste 2026 campaign, and the result feels sharp, confident, and quietly powerful. Bringing together Julianne Moore and Irina Shayk, the Maison taps into two very different energies that somehow meet perfectly in the middle.
Shot by Ezra Petronio, the campaign keeps things minimal but intentional. A dark, almost shadowy backdrop strips everything down to the essentials, letting the jewelry and the women wearing it do the talking. There’s no distraction here, just mood, presence, and detail.
Julianne Moore brings a calm, grounded kind of elegance. Her presence feels thoughtful rather than performative, like she’s wearing the pieces because they mean something to her. You can see how naturally she connects with the Moderniste collection, which is built around the idea that design should serve both form and purpose. On her, the jewelry doesn’t try too hard. It just works.
Irina Shayk, on the other hand, gives the campaign its edge. There’s a physicality to the way she moves, even in still images. She leans into the boldness of the pieces, especially the stacked bangles that define the collection. Whether in polished gold or diamond pavé, the jewelry feels alive on her, almost like an extension of her energy.
The Moderniste line itself plays with structure in a way that feels modern but not cold. Circles meet sharp lines, soft curves balance clean edges, and everything is designed to layer. The bangles stand out most, but the rings, earrings, and necklaces follow the same idea, pieces that feel strong on their own but even better together.
What makes this campaign land is that it doesn’t feel overly styled or forced. It feels personal. Two women, two perspectives, one collection that adapts instead of dictates.
And once you see the pieces in motion through the campaign videos, it becomes even clearer. This isn’t just about jewelry you wear for an occasion. It’s about pieces that move with you, shift with you, and become part of how you show up.
