Nadine Ghosn's collaboration with Bose resulted in two extraordinary editions of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones, each crafted to reflect the unique essence of their brand ambassadors, Coco Gauff and Anthony Edwards. Both headphones offer a blingy, eye-catching design with which Ghosn has become synonymous.
For Gauff, Ghosn channels her dynamic spirit and athletic prowess into a striking design that blends rose and white gold with traditional red, white, and blue hues. Adorned with 1,180 handset stones, including approximately 26 carats of rainbow sapphires and over 1 carat of diamonds, these headphones are stylish and on-trend.
Elsewhere, Edwards’s headphones are inspired by his adidas AE1 sneakers. They feature an 18k gold design set with 420 handset stones, including 4.5 carats of blue sapphires and 1.5 carats of diamonds.
