Cristiano Ronaldo, the football icon and Al-Nassr star, made a grand appearance at the Champions League draw in Monaco, adorned in diamonds worth a staggering $7.6 million. 

The 39-year-old flew in from Saudi Arabia to participate in the event, where he played a key role in launching the competition's new format by pressing the supercomputer button that determined the draw.

Ronaldo, known for his impeccable style, was the epitome of elegance in a stylish suit, complemented by three luxurious diamond accessories. 

His most eye-catching piece was a $4.8 million Messika Akh-Ba-Ka brooch, featuring a stunning 33-carat diamond cut from a rare 110-carat rough stone in Botswana. 

Originally part of a necklace adorned with 2,550 diamonds, the brooch was the highlight of his ensemble.

The football legend also sported a $2.8 million Franck Muller Cintree Tourbillon watch, a timepiece made from 150 layers of compressed carbon fibers and 18k gold. 

Watches from this brand have graced the wrists of celebrities like David Beckham, Elton John, and Kanye West.

Completing his luxury look were Messika So Move Pave earrings valued at $8,200. 

Made of 18-carat white gold, these "timeless" earrings added the final touch to Ronaldo's glittering appearance.

Ronaldo's appearance wasn't just about the diamonds, as he was also honored with an award for being the Champions League's all-time leading goalscorer. 

Despite the glitz and glam, some fans speculated that the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend looked "bored" during his task at the draw.

Ronaldo's long-term partner, Georgina Rodriguez, was also present, looking stunning in a white dress complemented by a Night Owl necklace and earrings from the Midnight Sun High Jewellery collection. 

The prices of necklaces from this range vary from $2,100 to $13,500.
