As stars descend upon the Oscars red carpet every year, their gowns and suits are scrutinised, but it’s the sparkle of luxury jewellery that truly captivates the audience. Beyond mere adornment, the jewels chosen by celebrities for this monumental night are a blend of personal taste and high fashion.
Standout Jewellery Moments On The Oscars Red Carpet
The Oscars have long served as a showcase for the world’s most exquisite jewellery, with each year bringing its share of memorable moments and fashion inspiration for onlookers. While earrings and bracelets are beautiful additions, luxury necklaces are often the showcase pieces.
At the 2024 ceremony, award winner Emma Stone shone on both the red carpet and on stage wearing earrings and a high-jewellery necklace from Louis Vuitton. Back in 2019, Lady Gaga also made a significant impact on the red carpet with a beautiful necklace wearing the iconic yellow Tiffany Diamond, reportedly valued at $30M.
The 2023 Oscars notably had many statement necklaces catching eyes on the red carpet with bold necklaces and earrings featuring stunning gems and iconic designs. Angela Basset stood out in a vibrant purple outfit paired with a Bvlgari Serpenti necklace, while Sandra Oh and Jessica Chastain sparkled with large statement necklaces from Harry Winston and Gucci.
Celebrities have long been associated with luxury jewellery companies, whether they are brand ambassadors or simply just have a special go-to favourite. Acting legends Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor, who both won Academy Awards in their careers, often displayed their love for pieces from renowned jewellery brands like Van Cleef & Arpels.
Emily Blunt
Known for her impeccable taste and versatility on screen, Emily Blunt has consistently enchanted the Oscars red carpet with her choice of jewellery. In 2023, she graced the event wearing beautiful gem earrings from Chopard, epitomising elegance and sophistication. Choosing to go necklace-free with her look, the eye-catching pink earrings were the statement feature of her outfit that night.
At the 2024 Oscars, nominated for Actress in a Supporting Role for the critically acclaimed ‘Oppenheimer’, Blunt chose to wear Tiffany & Co, underlining her status as an ambassador for the brand during the awards season. Wearing not one but two Tiffany necklaces, she layered them and also paired them beautifully with Tiffany diamond earrings and a pear-shaped ring.
Florence Pugh
Florence Pugh, with her fearless fashion choices and compelling performances, has also made waves on the Oscars red carpet over the years. In 2023, adorned in Tiffany & Co, she presented a blend of contemporary glamour and classic beauty. As she was a new brand ambassador for Tiffany & Co, her choice of jewels featured a platinum diamond necklace from Tiffany and was paired with pink tourmaline gems.
Pugh, who has quickly become a fashion icon, shifted to Bvlgari for the 2024 Oscars and paired her shimmering silver gown with a Serpenti diamond necklace. While not nominated, she was part of the ‘Oppenheimer’ ensemble which took the Award ceremony by storm.
Michelle Yeoh
In 2023, Michelle Yeoh was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’. Her night may have ended with winning the Academy Award but her memorable evening began on the red carpet where she wore a selection of diamond jewellery and accessories.
She caught everyone’s attention at the 2023 ceremony with high jewellery from Moussaieff and a custom white sapphire Richard Mille wristwatch which complimented her all-white outfit. The following year, Yeoh chose Cindy Chao for beautiful earrings and Richard Mille again, with a diamond-encrusted timepiece.
