NEW YORK, November 9, 2026: Supermodel and television host Tyra Banks made a striking statement at a Diwali celebration in New York, adorned in jewellery from Kalyan Jewellers.
Banks chose a complete Indian look for the evening, a first for the global icon. Her jewellery, sourced from Kalyan Jewellers’ New Jersey showroom, was a handcrafted set in traditional open-setting natural diamonds: a choker, jhumkas, maang tikka, odiyyanam and ring. Her outfit was custom-made for the occasion by design house Maison Tai.
Known worldwide for her career as a supermodel and as the host of America’s Next Top Model, Banks reflects a growing trend: Diwali is finding a place in mainstream American culture, bringing together people well beyond the Indian diaspora.
This marks Kalyan Jewellers’ second Diwali celebration in the United States since opening its showroom in Edison, New Jersey. The brand also operates a showroom in Chicago.
