Did the 2026 Academy Museum Gala have better jewels than the Oscars themselves? Hollywood’s biggest names certainly made a convincing case, bringing out the diamonds, colored gemstones and seriously good ear candy.
Anna Kendrick went for colorful gems, Kim Kardashian, Mikey Madison and Elle Fanning piled on the diamonds, while Charlize Theron, Monica Barbaro and Kerry Washington turned up the heat with standout earring looks. The men brought their own jewelry game, too, with A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo and Justin Timberlake serving up looks worth a closer look. Demi Moore went all in on Chopard, while Adria Arjona wore Tiffany & Co.’s iconic Bird on a Rock jewels.
Here are all the biggest celebrity jewelry looks and red carpet trends from the 2026 Academy Museum Gala.
TAYLOR SWIFT: Taylor Swift knows all too well that diamonds are a girl’s best friend! She piled on Chopard Haute Joaillerie, including platinum-set earrings totaling 32.40 carats, a 5.04-carat diamond bracelet and an 18-karat gold ring set with 5.78 carats of diamonds.
MIKEY MADISON: Déjà bling! Mikey Madison brought Tiffany & Co.’s celestial stunner to the red carpet, echoing a similar-looking pendant worn by Anya Taylor-Joy at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier this year. But these diamond doppelgängers aren’t the same piece! Mikey wore Tiffany’s Blue Book Céleste Wings Diamond Pendant, crafted in platinum and yellow gold with diamonds and a reported center stone weighing over 16 carats.
GABRIELLE UNION: Colored gemstones were a hot jewelry trend at the Academy Museum Gala, and Gabrielle Union made a strong case for the look in Tiffany & Co.! Her 2023 Blue Book Out of the Blue necklace features an over 8-carat oval padparadscha sapphire, unenhanced Umba sapphires, diamonds and tourmaline accents in a tassel-like sea-creature design.
