Fashion and beauty may be well-reported across the Oscars red carpet, but this season, we had our eye on the spectacular sparkle spotted by our favourite celebrities.
Anyone seeking additional proof that the 2024 Oscars were rooted in a bigger-is-better vibe, look no further than the abundance of high-jewellery choices seen on the red carpet and inside the Dolby Theatre. Necklaces sometimes tend to take a backseat to chandelier earrings or a statement cocktail ring on red carpets these days, but not this year, as chokers, pendants and sautoirs ruled the parade of gems at the 96th Academy Awards.
The exquisite fashion paired with the sparkling jewels, weaves a tale of its own. And this year’s red carpet event had quite the dazzle with celebrities donning some of the most opulent jewels from notable brands like Tiffany & Co, Bulgari, Boucheron, and more.
Hollywood’s leading ladies stunned in stylish pieces from Charlize Theron in piles of Boucheron diamonds; Vanessa Hudgens debuted her baby bump wearing Chopard jewels, while Lily Gladstone and Zendaya both glistened in Bulgari bijoux. Simu Liu and Colman Domingo did not miss out on the jewels either.
From classic elegance to modern extravagance, here are some of the standout jewellery highlights from the star-studded evening.
