The best timepieces at Star Awards 2025: From necklace watches to blinged-out bezels
Star Awards 2025, Singapore's biggest night in television, returned in full glamour and grandeur on Jul 6, celebrating the brightest talents of local Chinese entertainment. The annual event, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, brought together actors, hosts, musicians and more for an evening of emotional speeches and striking (and sometimes questionable) fashion. Beyond the dramatic gowns and tailored suits, it was the accessories that added extra flourish – and none more so than the watches. Here's a closer look at the standout timepieces that graced the wrists (and necks) of Singapore's biggest stars. CHANTALLE NG Ng had a big role to play as host of the night, and the actress hit the red carpet wearing the Hublot Big Bang One Click in a delicate shade of mint green, adding a pop of colour to her cream gown. DESMOND TAN Tan had the honour of being the first in Singapore to wear the Zenith GFJ Watch, which launched this year at Watches & Wonders 2025. The timepiece is limited to 160 pieces worldwide in celebration of Zenith's 160th anniversary. FELICIA CHIN Perhaps inspired by Taylor Swift's Grammys look, Chin wore a timepiece around her neck, dazzling the night in the Jacob & Co Ashoka Diamond Boutique Necklace Watch. RICHIE KOH Decked out in a grey ensemble, Richie Koh kept things modern with the IWC Ingenieur Automatic 42 in black. ROMEO TAN Xu Bin's Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph paired nicely with his cream ensemble. YE JIAYUN The model and actress paired her leather bustier look with the Cartier Clash [Un]limited bracelet watch. Pierre Png looked dapper with the Jacob & Co The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone in a striking shade of blue and rose gold on his wrist. QI YUWU The actor stood out in a sharply tailored checked suit, but it was the Jacob & Co Bugatti Tourbillon Baguette on his wrist that stole the spotlight – a jaw-dropping timepiece set with over 300 baguette-cut white diamonds.

Actor Tyler Ten will treat himself to Shin Ramyun instant noodles after winning big at Star Awards 2025
If there's any indication that Tyler Ten is set to become one of Mediacorp's brightest stars, this Star Awards just proved it. The 29-year-old was named Best Rising Star and was also one of the three Most Popular Rising Stars, along with fellow young guns Zhang Zetong and Ayden Sng. It would be the last time the trio are eligible for the award, as it's only open to stars with five or fewer years of experience, and they will battle for the Top 10 Most Popular Artiste awards next year. It's about time Ten had his moment of glory. A finalist at Star Search 2019, he was a face to watch from the get-go. There was hardly anyone taller, fitter, or more heartthrob-by than him in the competition. You can still say the same about him and his competition now. He just took longer to get here than, say, Star Search 2019 champ Zhang Zetong, who was last year's big winner. But its Ten's time now. And you get the impression he knows it. When we ask why he looked so nervous – like a kid awaiting his PSLE results – before presenter Huang Biren announced his name, Ten said: 'My heart was pounding… A lot of people have been giving me support and they believe that I would get this award. I felt stressed that I wouldn't be able to go on the stage to thank them.' He didn't want to be disappointed again after going home empty-handed the last few Star Awards. 'The past few years I tried to manifest and believe I would win but it turned out to be a big disappointment. So this year I tried to do something different. I just didn't think about it. I believe that when the time comes, it will come.' He's had a great year, of course. His role as a psycho killer in Best Drama, Unforgivable, showed he's not just a pretty face, but one with acting chops. And of course, there's his star-making turned as lovable gangster Bai Ah Li in Emerald Hill, which in no doubt, has skyrocketed his popularity. When Ten went on stage, dressed in a chest-baring suit, host Guo Liang said he looked so anxious, his pecs were tensed up. 'I'll take that as a compliment,' laughed Ten. We asked how many push-ups he did before getting dressed. He said: 'I didn't. All I did was go on a fast two nights ago until noon today. I believe in fasting and it helps regenerate your cells. It's good for your health. I do it about once a week.' He must be starving now. Surely, he must be hankering for a big meal after the awards. 'I don't think I can tonight because everywhere is closed by now,' he said. 'So tomorrow I'll order a huge Nutella cake and finish it all by myself. I have been dieting and cutting out sugar. I love chocolate. I love Nutella. Hopefully it will satisfy all my cravings," he added, laughing. Tomorrow seems too far away a celebration for something he has been anticipating for so long, we tell him. 'Okay I think I will eat instant noodles when I get home, Shin Ramyun. I love it, I haven't had it in months."
