NO BLENDING NEEDED: Pandora’s latest boldface collaborator knows all about applying the right touch of color and shine.
Influential British makeup artist Dame Pat McGrath has teamed with the Danish jewelry giant for a 17-piece capsule that leans into her runway-tested playbook, launching globally on Oct. 8.
“This collection is the result of two creative voices coming together around one powerful idea: color as a force for transformation,” Pandora creative directors Francesco Terzo and A. Filippo Ficarelli said in a joint statement, noting they had “pushed materials to create surfaces rich in depth and emotion.”
McGrath said that to her, “makeup and jewelry have always been the same art.”

“I adorn the body with color, light, crystal, glitter and pure pigment. Jewelry is that same instinct made eternal,” she continued. “With Pandora, the two arts I have always loved became a single language.”
Drawing directly from the beauty maven’s universe, the lineup will play on a palette of red, purple, silver and gold — with plenty of crystals to boot — priced from $58 to $250.
Lip-shaped signet rings and charms hide ombré enamel hearts inside, while crystal-embellished lipstick and beauty-tube dangles nod to McGrath’s studio staples. Medallions are etched with empowerment mantras associated with the artist, known in the industry simply as “Mother.” Pieces are designed to be layered on chains, hoops and bracelets, mixed across metals and stacked in bold, tonal combinations.
The collaboration comes with a campaign shot by London-based Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø, featuring Ava Shipp, Chiharu Okunugi, Ali Dansky and Alton Mason.
A prominent figure on the fashion circuit, who pioneered looks including studded lips, gilded eyebrows and the viral porcelain-doll makeup seen at the 2024 Margiela show, McGrath launched her eponymous makeup brand in 2015. She serves as its chief creative officer and also currently is Louis Vuitton’s creative director of cosmetics, a role she’s held since the French luxury house introduced the category in 2025.
