If you thought men’s red carpet jewelry had limits, think again. The Oscars and Vanity Fair party delivered brooches, pearls, and diamonds in ways we’ve never seen before. David Yurman’s custom pieces for Michael B. Jordan brought the drama, the Tiffany & Co. Bird on a Rock brooch kept its status as a staple, and then came the plot twists. Nick Jonas turned an earring into a brooch, and Shaboozey decided necklaces belong at the waist too. Suddenly, the rules felt very optional. Scroll to see the looks that had us talking.

LEO DICAPRIO:Leonardo DiCaprio added a little buzz to Oscar night with a vintage Boucheron bumblebee pin from 1964. Whimsical, rare, and a subtle nod to Re:wild, the conservation group he helps lead.

LAW ROACH: Not all red carpet gems are borrowed. One of the pieces Law Roach wore to the Oscars is actually his own. Can you guess which one? A ruby and diamond Swadesh Online brooch adorned his lapel, but it was his vintage emerald ring from Joseph Saidian and Sons that he truly owned.

MILO HANHEIM: Milo went full Boucheron glam with the Serpent Bohème XXL motif brooch from the transformable medallion, paved with diamonds on white gold, paired with a Quatre Radiant Edition wedding band and matching bracelet. Lapel and wrist game: untouchable.

TROYE SIVAN: Fresh flowers are overrated. Troye Sivan bloomed in a 1962 Flowers brooch by Boucheron, platinum, gold, red enamel, and fully paved with diamonds.

SHABOOZEY: Shaboozey keeps us on our toes — literally changing the red carpet game. He wore our favorite watch of the night, the Chopard L’Heure du Diamant, added major sparkle with a Briony Raymond Vintage diamond brooch, and yes, those Mikimoto pearl and diamond earrings. But did you spot that Mikimoto Akoya and Golden South Sea Skipping Rope necklace draped at his waist? Iconic. Lapel, ears, waist — all owned, all unforgettable.


HUDSON WILLIAMS: The Heated Rivalry star brought the competition to the red carpet. Oscars vs. Vanity Fair: his High Jewelry Serpenti brooch in yellow and white gold, marquise and pavé-set diamonds, and two pear-shaped emeralds on his lapel easily outshined his VF look — even the $73,000 Serpenti bracelet couldn’t compete. Add in the rest of his B.Zero1 jewels, including the Tubogas Serpenti watch, and the lapel takes the crown.

CONNOR STORRIE: Did the Heated Rivalry star deliver in jewels? Absolutely. Connor Storrie stacked Elsa Peretti & Tiffany rings on his fingers and added a little flash around his neck with a $285,000 Tiffany HardWear graduated link necklace in white gold with diamonds. Lapel, fingers, neck — all owned. Sorry, Hudson Williams, this one might just take the crown.

RYAN COOGLER: Ryan Coogler, director and Oscar winner for Sinners, pinned on something we have never seen before, the Clash [Un]limited pocket gem in rhodiumized white gold set with onyx and brilliant cut diamonds from Cartier.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR: Like Tatum, Robert donned a Tiffany Bird on a Rock brooch. The difference? His sat on a 39 carat green tourmaline.

CHANNING TATUM: Is it even Oscar night without a Bird on a Rock sighting? Channing Tatum delivered the classic Tiffany & Co. lapel moment, the iconic bird perched on a 22 carat diamond with ruby eyes.

JON BATISTE:Jon Batiste + Tiffany = red carpet magic. At the Vanity Fair Oscar party he rocked three show-stopping brooches: a Maltese Cross clip, the Schlumberger Ancolie clip in gold and sapphires, and the fully diamond Two Fruit Brooch, inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy’s iconic Schlumberger design. Lapel game: legendary.

NICK JONAS: Nick Jonas had us fooled. We thought it was a brooch, but his stylist cleverly turned a single 18k white gold diamond Darli stud from Marli New York’s High Style collection into a lapel statement. Who knew one earring could do all that sparkle work?

FRANÇOIS ARNAUD: In Heated Rivalry, it’s never clear who’s aligned with who. Francois Arnaud’s David Yurman high jewelry diamond wolf brooch taps right into that, lone wolf or part of the pack?

JEREMY ALLEN WHITE:Jeremy Allen White skipped fresh flowers for a 1959 Bindweed Flower brooch by Boucheron, in yellow gold, platinum, and diamonds.

DAMSON IDRIS: Talk about jewelry with a plot twist: Damson Idris’s one-of-a-kind Didris brooch commemorates F1 being nominated for Best Picture at the 2026 Academy Awards. A 7.4 carat heated blue diamond surrounded by 41 white diamonds shines front and center, with a tiny “F1” engraving tucked in for luck — made just for tonight.

MICHAEL B. JORDAN: Fresh off his Oscar win, Michael B. Jordan made Vanity Fair his personal jewelry runway. Three — yes, three — custom David Yurman brooches in diamonds, rubies, and rose-cut black diamonds, inspired by his Best Picture contender Sinners. Ambassador perks? Double check. Red carpet domination? Absolutely. Because when you win gold, why not sparkle too?

COLMAN DOMINGO: Boucheron couldn’t have picked a better Friend of the Maison than Colman Domingo. He styled his jewels flawlessly, rocking the Serpent Bohème vintage brooch in white gold and diamonds, a Serpent Bohème vintage bracelet, and a three-motifs ring. Slither into style like this, and you’ve officially won the lapel game.

ADRIEN BRODY: Not your average brooch. Adrien Brody wore the Ulysses brooch by Elsa Jin with a 20 carat sapphire and 1279 diamonds sprinkled over its sculptural titanium form.

REECE FELDMAN: Brooches on brooches on brooches. Reece Feldman’s custom Tanner Fletcher suit was sprinkled with whimsical cameos that stole the show – playful, wild, and absolutely unforgettable.

LIONEL RICHIE: Platinum, diamonds, and Lionel Richie — yes, we see you. Lionel Richie’s lapel was decked with a $19,312 Tiffany from The Back Vault, and it definitely stole a few glances.

CHRIS APPELHANS: Co‑director of K‑Pop Demon Hunters Chris Appelhans brought narrative to his Oscars jewelry with a custom 18k gold and sapphire Derpy Tiger brooch from Ten Thousand Things. Inspired by Korean folklore and featured in the film itself, the playful yet powerful creature turned his lapel into a clever cinematic easter egg — jewelry with a story, not just sparkle.

KUMAIL MANJIANI: Move over, Richie. Kumail Nanjiani also brought serious vintage sparkle with a 1940s platinum and diamond brooch from Saidian Vintage Jewels, valued at $38,000. Lapel game strong.

ARÓN PIPER: Eight carats of diamonds and rubies? Aron wore the ultimate floral statement, a Zinnia brooch by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co..
