Although they got engaged just before Thanksgiving in 2024, we didn't get a close look at Hailee Steinfeld's engagement ring until she wore it on the red carpet at the 2025 NFL Honors in New Orleans, Louisiana. According to Olivia Landau, gemologist and founder of The Clear Cut, it appears as though the actress's proposal piece is a classic design. "Hailee's engagement ring appears to be a 3.5- or 4-carat round brilliant diamond set in a thin platinum solitaire setting," Landau predicts. "Her engagement ring is timeless and traditional. If her diamond is natural, the ring is estimated to cost anywhere from $70,000 to $150,000, depending on the quality."
