The exclusive gathering welcomed Amanda Murphy, Amber Mark, Bliss Lau, Chanel Iman, Ciara, Edvin Thompson (Theophilio), Francesca Scorsese, Haley Kalil, Hilary Rhoda, Jameel Mohammed (KHIRY), Jessica Stam, Jules Kim (Bijules), Julia Fox, Kate Bartlett, Lorraine West, Lucien Laviscount, Lucky Blue Smith, Maggi Simpkins, Marvin Douglas (stylist to Bad Bunny), Mei Pang, Ambassador Penda Naanda of the Republic of Namibia, Roman Mejia (Principal Dancer, New York City Ballet), Sandrine Conseiller (CEO of Brands and Diamond Desirability, De Beers Group), Sergio Hudson, Stephanie Gottlieb, Teyana Taylor, Tiler Peck (Principal Dancer, New York City Ballet), Wing Yau (WWAKE) leading editors and visionary jewelry designers for a night of artistry, discovery and sensory exploration.

Desert diamonds mark a new chapter in the celebration of natural diamonds – honoring their earthly origin, rarity, and emotional transcendence as a symbol of love and identity across cultures. Drawing inspiration from the desert landscapes from which many of them originate, the spectrum of colors starts with warm whites and moves through to champagne tones and amber hues, a palette adorning guests on the night.

At the heart of the celebration was a curated exhibition showcasing natural diamond jewelry presented in a spectrum of hues — from warm whites to champagne, and amber and whiskey shades – from over 30 exceptional designers and brands. This distinctive color palette is already capturing cultural imagination — from red carpet moments to celebrity engagement rings.

On the night of the event, Amber Mark wore a Le Vian necklace, Le Vian earrings, and a Le Vian ring; Amanda Murphy wore a Le Vian pendant; Ciara wore a Premier Gem ring with Desert diamonds sourced from Botswana, Vice Versa studs, and a De Beers London necklace; Chanel Iman wore a Le Vian necklace; Francesca Scorsese wore an Aneri necklace; Haley Khalil wore Le Vian earrings; Hilary Rhoda wore Khepri earrings and a Khepri necklace; Indiana Woodward wore Khepri earrings; INJI wore a Le Vian bracelet and Aneri earrings; Jessica Stam wore a Le Vian necklace; Julez Smith wore a Le Vian necklace; Julia Fox wore a MUNNU The Gem Palace ring; Julia Hackman Chafé wore Aneri earrings, an Aneri necklace and a Le Vian bracelet; Kate Bartlett a Le Vian necklace and Aneri earrings; Lauren Wolfe wore a pair of Le Vian hoops; Lucien Lavinscount wore a Le Vian pendant and a Kay Jewelers ring; Lucky Blue Smith wore a Le Vian necklace, a Kay Jewelers pendant, a Kay Jewelers bracelet and a Kay Jewelers ring; Mei Pang wore an Aneri necklace; Megan DeAngelis wore a Le Vian pendant; Roman Mejia wore a Premier Gem necklace; Sergio Hudson wore a Khepri earring; Tenicka Boyd wore Le Vian earrings; Teyana Taylor wore a Grandview Klein necklace and a Grandview Klein bracelet with Desert diamonds sourced from Namibia; and Tiler Peck wore a Khepri necklace and Khepri earrings.

Across cultures and generations, natural diamonds in beautifully unexpected colors have inspired artists, designers and collectors who seek meaning and distinction in what they wear, and today more and more consumers are also looking for diamonds that are as individual as they are.

Set within ARTECHOUSE’s cutting-edge digital space, the evening unfolded as a multi-sensory celebration of natural beauty and modern creativity. Guests were greeted with wine from IBest Wine before embarking on an epicurean journey curated by chef Lorna Maseko of eKhaya, whose menu and cocktails reflected a spirit of creative exploration blended with exacting craftsmanship. The atmosphere was elevated by an original soundtrack created exclusively for the night by blending Afrobeats and Amapiano rhythms to reflect the campaign’s global spirit.

Sandrine Conseiller, CEO of De Beers Brands & Diamond Desirability, said:

“Tonight reminds us of the magic, myth and wonder inherent in the DNA of natural diamonds. Today’s consumers have a need to convey their individuality while continuing to honor their deepest bonds and connections with the ultimate symbol of love and self-expression, natural diamonds. Desert Diamonds – whether a style statement or worn every day, offer a modern take on these enduring gifts of nature.”

The visionary designers and brands featured in the curated exhibition include Almasika, Aneri, Atit, Bernard James, Bijules, Bliss Lau, Briony Raymond, Casey Perez Jewelry, Fred Leighton, Grandview Klein, Harwell Godfrey, Indigo, Jade Ruzzo, Jade Trau, Jewels with Jules, Kay Jewelers, Khepri, Leigh Maxwell, Le Vian, Lorraine West, Maggi Simpkins, Martin Katz, Marvin Douglas Jewelry, Michelle Fantaci Fine Jewelry, Mociun, MUNNU The Gem Palace, Neil Lane, Nikos Koulis, Premier Gem, Retrouvaí, Rosy Blue, Stephanie Gottlieb Fine Jewelry, Ten Thousand Things, Uniform Object, Vale Jewelry, Vanessa Fernández, Vice Versa, William Goldberg, WWAKE and Zahn Z.

Next-Generation 3D Rooftop Bus Shelter Debuts at Orchard Road in collaboration with Gardens by the Bay


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 October 2025 – Stellar Ace, Singapore’s largest Out-of-Home (OOH) media company, has unveiled a next-generation 3D Rooftop Bus Shelter in collaboration with Gardens by the Bay. Located at Bus Shelter “Bef Cairnhill Road”, right outside The Heeren, the striking rooftop installation recreates the Gardens’ Flower Dome, Supertrees, and lush greenery — bringing a touch of Singapore’s most iconic destination into the heart of Orchard Road.

Stellar Ace launches its first 3D Rooftop under its portfolio with Gardens by the Bay, reimagining iconic formats with bold, immersive experiences for the future of Out-of-Home advertising.
Stellar Ace launches its first 3D Rooftop under its portfolio with Gardens by the Bay, reimagining iconic formats with bold, immersive experiences for the future of Out-of-Home advertising.

Strategically placed along one of Singapore’s busiest retail and tourism stretches, the 3D Rooftop is designed as both an advertising platform and placemaking feature. With an estimated over 260,000 weekly impressions, it offers brands standout visibility while adding vibrancy to the Orchard Road streetscape. It also supports Singapore’s broader efforts to enhance public spaces and urban vitality, showing how OOH media can enrich the city experience for both locals and visitors.

This debut marks the first 3D Rooftop under Stellar Ace’s portfolio and signals the revival of a beloved format, reimagined for today’s audiences. Once popular on Singapore’s streets, 3D rooftops are making a comeback through Stellar Ace’s bold and creative reintroduction — now scaled for greater impact and immersive brand storytelling.

Unlike traditional static campaigns, the 3D rooftop demonstrates how OOH can transform everyday infrastructure into cultural and brand touchpoints. It stands as a reminder that the best campaigns don’t just occupy space — they transform it.

Gardens by the Bay has always been about bringing nature, design, and imagination to life, and reinterpreting its most recognisable icons atop an Orchard Road bus shelter creates a joyful, unexpected moment in the everyday journey.

“The Gardens by the Bay 3D Rooftop is the first in a series of bold, next-generation formats that will redefine how advertisers engage with the public across Singapore. We believe OOH has the power to evolve with the times — not just to be seen, but to be remembered” said Mr Tony Heng, President, Stellar Experience.

The project was made possible through close collaboration between Stellar Ace and Gardens by the Bay, underscoring a shared commitment to creativity, innovation, and elevating public-space experiences. By situating Gardens by the Bay’s icons along Orchard Road, the 3D Rooftop creates a visual bridge between two of Singapore’s most-visited landmarks.

The Gardens by the Bay 3D Rooftop is only the beginning. As part of its broader innovation roadmap, Stellar Ace is set to roll out more next-generation OOH formats across the island. This includes rejuvenating static assets into digital and interactive formats, while harnessing creative design, programmatic capabilities, and data-driven insights. Recent examples include newly installed Digital Walls and Digital Pillars across Bayfront, City Hall, Orchard, and Serangoon MRT stations.

By pushing the boundaries of what OOH can achieve, Stellar Ace continues to lead in experiential, impactful advertising — making brands part of the city’s cultural and urban fabric.

Immediately after the disaster, the Philippine government mobilized its search and rescue, medical, and emergency relief forces to assist affected communities. Against this backdrop, and with a strong sense of social responsibility, VinFast and Green GSM joined in to support the government’s relief operations, reaffirming their commitment to stand with the people and the nation of the Philippines in every moment of trial.

In a joint initiative, VinFast and Green GSM provided a total of 10 million Philippine Pesos directly to the Cebu Province to aid ongoing relief efforts. This assistance will be managed and allocated by the authorities, and can be used flexibly for urgent needs, such as providing essential supplies, supporting families most affected, or rebuilding damaged infrastructure.

Madam Pamela Baricuatro – The Governor of Cebu province and the Mayors on behalf of the local government received the donation from two representatives of Vingroup. She emotionally shared, “We are very grateful for your kindness, we will use this money to rebuild damaged schools, offices and support people to rebuild their houses. I would like to thank the group and hope that you will continue to accompany the government and people of Cebu.”

In addition, Green GSM was on the ground in Cebu as early as October 1, just one day after the 6.7-magnitude earthquake, delivering 500 relief packages containing drinking water and essential food supplies to local authorities. Green GSM’s next wave of assistance includes multiple mobile tents, which are being transported to Cebu as quickly as possible. All of Green GSM staff will also coordinate with local authorities to assist in rescue and relief operations, strengthen the capacity to transport goods, distribute supplies, and ensure that resources reach affected residents quickly, safely, and efficiently

Mr. Antonio Zara – the CEO of VinFast South East Asia, stated: “We are deeply saddened and empathize with the significant losses experienced by the people of Cebu following the earthquake. VinFast and our partners are committed to standing with the local government and the community to help residents restore stability as quickly as possible. With a strong sense of corporate social responsibility, we see this support not just as a duty, but as a meaningful way to contribute to the community.”

Mr. Dao Quy Phi – The Managing Director of Green GSM Philippines added: “As soon as we received the call for help from the Cebu authorities, we immediately mobilized to provide tangible support from October 1st. We believe that the direct involvement of our drivers will help relief resources reach the people faster and more efficiently, reflecting Green GSM’s long-term commitment to standing with the local community.”

VinFast and GSM’s efforts reflect the spirit of social responsibility consistently upheld by their founder, Vingroup Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong, who has twice been recognized by Forbes as an “Asia’s Hero of Philanthropy.” Over the years, businesses and organizations founded by him, together with member companies across the Vingroup ecosystem, have actively contributed to community relief and support efforts during natural disasters and epidemics, from responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and providing flood relief to running education programs, offering free healthcare, and supporting livelihoods for people in need.

These actions underscore the long-term commitment of VinFast, Green GSM, and Vingroup to stand alongside communities in need. Each act of support not only helps people overcome immediate challenges but also fosters solidarity, reinforces corporate social responsibility, and strengthens collective capacity to build resilient and compassionate communities.
