Get a glimpse of the ninth star of Ocean’s 8 – no, not Anne Hathaway; her extravagant diamond necklace, the 'Jeanne Toussaint', created specifically for the film by Cartier. It's named after the company's creative director during the 1930s and was inspired by a necklace designed for the Maharaja of Nawanagar in 1931. Ocean’s 8 sees Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and co put together a plan to steal it at the Met Ball in NYC.

Bourne’s version sets this at Café de Paris (image 3), which was bombed in 1941 during the Blitz. Image 4: 40s style costumes feature military uniforms and gas masks.
