“When your 2-million-dollar watch and 3-million-dollar diamond-encrusted Birkin are arguably the least valuable things that you're wearing. You just know you're that girl,” Julia said in the clip.

Merchant paired the outfit with the diamond-encrusted watch and Birkin, but Chafe said these were arguably the least striking elements of her jewellery.
The emeralds and diamond pendant
The accessories also included a pair of earrings and a large neckpiece featuring a striking pendant. Commenting on its design, Chafe said: “I honestly don't understand the logistics of this gigantic pendant being held up by a string. How did it not just rip right through? ”
She also pointed to Merchant’s large emerald ring and chandelier-shaped earrings, describing them as semi-traditional. The pendant, meanwhile, features a large diamond set in a Georgian style.
“It's a combination of traditional jewels, cool jewels, the most important gemstones in the world,” she added.

The outfit
Merchant’s jacket-and-skirt ensemble featured floral motifs and drew on elements of Indian craftsmanship. The jacket had a scoop neckline, padded shoulders, full-length sleeves, a structured peplum silhouette and a cropped hem. She paired it with a figure-hugging, midi-length pencil skirt.
The watch she wore was identified as the Patek Philippe Twenty-4 Haute Joaillerie. The $2 million piece has a rectangular, cambered 18K white-gold case measuring approximately 24mm in width and 27.8mm in length. Its dial is fully paved with diamonds and emeralds, with feuille-style hands and Roman numeral markers at 12 and 6.
She completed the look with winged eyeliner, feathered brows, mascara, a glossy pink lip, rouged cheeks, highlighter and soft contouring. Her hair was styled half-up, adding to the ethnic-inspired look.
