TWICE's Sana wore millions of dollars' worth of diamonds to Graff's 65th anniversary exhibition in Tokyo, but her understated black dress became an unexpected talking point. While the jewellery delivered the extravagance expected at a high jewellery event, one Reddit user felt her outfit lacked the same impact, comparing it to a generic wedding guest wear.

The singer attended the opening ceremony of Celebrate 65 Years of Graff Excellence on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, wearing a black Flavia dress by V:PM Atelier. The design featured a structured, strapless bustier bodice and a draped skirt with gathered detailing around the waist and hips.

£5.68 million in Diamonds Steals the Spotlight

Sana's jewellery included a statement necklace reported to feature 156 carats of diamonds, alongside earrings, a bracelet and a ring centred on a 13-carat yellow diamond. Together, the pieces comprised more than 250 carats of yellow and white diamonds. The set was reported by Japanese media to be worth approximately ¥1.3 billion, or £5.68 million.

The singer has been a Graff ambassador since 2023, making her appearance at the anniversary celebration particularly fitting. She also shared her excitement about wearing the pieces, describing how the jewellery made her surroundings appear more colourful. The yellow diamond ring was another highlight for her, thanks to its sparkle.

However, the elaborate diamonds also made the simplicity of her dress more noticeable. Rather than competing with the jewellery through elaborate embellishments or a dramatic silhouette, the black design kept the focus on the accessories.

Reddit User Calls Sana's Dress 'Generic Wedding Guestwear'

The dress became a talking point in a Reddit discussion about Sana's appearance. One user praised the jewellery but was less impressed by the outfit, writing: 'Wow, that jewelry is spectacular. Nothing else about this look is notable, though. It's giving generic wedding guest.'

Other commenters also questioned the dress's overall appearance, with some finding its material and detailing underwhelming. However, the reactions were not entirely negative. Some felt the simple design allowed the diamonds to stand out, while others continued to praise Sana's overall appearance.

Graff Marks 65 Years of High Jewellery Excellence

Sana's appearance formed part of Graff's anniversary celebrations, marking 65 years since Laurence Graff founded the jewellery house in London in 1960. The brand has built its reputation around exceptional diamonds, rare gemstones, and elaborate high jewellery creations.

The Tokyo exhibition, Celebrate 65 Years of Graff Excellence, opened to the public on 12 November and runs until 25 November at the Yodobashi J6 Building in Harajuku. Rather than simply presenting its latest designs, the showcase looks back at the craftsmanship and history behind the house's most notable creations.

Among its centrepieces is the Graff Infinity Tiara, featuring a 157.80-carat, D-colour heart-shaped diamond cut from a 373-carat rough stone discovered at Botswana's Karowe mine. The exhibition also presents pieces from the brand's archives, highlighting the work and design heritage that have shaped its identity over the decades.

For a celebration built around exceptional gemstones, Sana's diamond collection was certainly in keeping with the occasion. Her dress, meanwhile, offered a quieter approach to red-carpet styling. Whether that restraint was elegant or too ordinary became a matter of personal taste, but the contrast ensured that both her jewellery and outfit attracted attention.
