“This is my splurge”: Zendaya Boasted About Getting “Employee Discount” on Yellow Bulgari Diamond Ring Worth at Least $210,000
One perk of being a well-known celebrity is getting paid to showcase brand products. The bigger a celebrity, the bigger the brands they get to be an ambassador for. One such celebrity is Zendaya who joined the luxury brand Bulgari (Bvlgari) back in 2020 as its ambassador. Since then, her red carpet looks have been adorned with the brand’s statement diamond pieces.
And there is always a question of whether she or any other celebrities for that matter get to keep these brand products for free or not.
As far as Zendaya’s explanation goes, as an ambassador, she might not get the jewelry for free however there does exist a good discount value if the celebrity feels like keeping some.
Zendaya Received Employee Discount From Bulgari
Being an ambassador for the Greek-Italian luxury house Bulgari, Zendaya has shown up on various red carpets with the brand’s luxury gems. One of the most well-known of these is the one where the Euphoria star matched her yellow dress with a canary yellow diamond ring for the 2021 Oscars.
This particular piece of jewelry has been noticed several times on her finger which got people to wonder whether she bought it or whether she received it free of cost from the brand as its ambassador. As it turns out, celebrities may get paid for showcasing brand products but they do not necessarily get to keep the product especially those that cost millions of dollars.
And as she explained via a British Vogue cover story in 2021, the yellow Bulgari diamond ring is one which she bought herself. The Dune actor said,
“This is my splurge, my treat-myself, and I do get a little employee discount,”
Yes! She got herself a discount for the ring which cost around 210k dollars. So that makes it clear that Zendaya does not get to keep the jewelry that she showcases on the red carpet for free.

Celebrities first need to decide on the complete look which would include the brand product that they are supposed to showcase. In Zendaya’s case, her stylist is Law Roach. So before making the red carpet appearance, she and her stylist work on the final look which would be cohesive from the makeup to the dress and accessories.
The brand, Bvlagari or Bulagari in her case, will have various options for the celebrity which means Zwnday can choose along with the stylist what statement jewelry pieces to settle for the final look on the red carpet.
