Diamonds, sapphires, and a few unexpected surprises, this year’s Critics Choice Awards red carpet had it all. Sapphires stole the spotlight thanks to Danielle Brooks and EJAE, while the ladies added flashes of color with gemstone earrings that stopped cameras in their tracks. The men brought their own flair with bold brooches, and Keri Russell even joined the fun, proving she could play too. And of course, classic diamonds made their presence known everywhere, from multi-carat necklaces to chandelier earrings, turning the night into a nonstop parade of sparkle and drama.
KERI RUSSELL: Can we talk about Keri Russell’s jewels? Because she gave us a brooch moment worth obsessing over at the Critics Choice Awards, pinning on Boucheron’s new Sarpech brooch set with a 6.26-carat emerald, plus matching Serpent Bohème earrings and ring.
EJAE: Who had a great choker moment? Ejae, of course. The Kpop Demon Hunter star rocked the red carpet not only in a diamond and sapphire high jewelry choker from Bvlgari, but diamond earrings and a matching ring.
JESSICA BIEL: Did you guess that Jessica Biel’s jewels totaled half a million dollars, $506,400 precisely, at the awards show? Biel didn’t come to play, showing up in Cartier Grain de Café jewels and a Panthère de Cartier bracelet.
CHASE INFINITI: Somehow enchanted by Chase’s Critics Choice jewelry look. From Messika’s Dancing Moon and Fiery high jewelry earrings to the Move Iconica bracelet and Double Glam’azone and My Twin Toi et Moi rings, this was delicate diamonds doing serious work!
MICHELLE RUDOLPH: If you want to know what 11 carats of tanzanite look like, look no further than The Landman star’s neck, where Pomellato’s Nudo high jewelry necklace did all the talking.
SARAH SNOOK: How could you miss those 11.39-carat diamond drop earrings with emeralds? We didn’t! The All Her Fault actress paired them with an 18-karat white gold necklace set with 45.75 carats of natural diamonds, plus a dazzling assortment of rings from Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie Collection.
ROSE BYRNE: We love a good earring moment. Thank you, Rose Byrne, for stepping out in Messika’s Star Chaser high jewelry earrings, paired with a bold three-finger ring and the Saguaro high jewelry ring.
JESSICA BUCKLEY: Sometimes statement earrings don’t just accessorize, they make a look. The Hamnet star wore Boucheron’s Lavallière Diamants pendant earrings of diamonds, onyx, and black lacquer, paired with a Vendôme Liseré ring set with a 4.13ct emerald-cut diamond.
EMILIA JONES: When the necklace does all the talking. Jones wore a headline-making Boucheron Lavallière Diamants necklace that matched Buckley’s earrings, plus Vendôme Liseré earrings and a ring. If you noticed, you weren’t the only one!
LEIGHTON MEESTER: Gossip Girl alum’s Chopard Haute Joaillerie earrings in 18k white gold with pink sapphires and diamonds, paired with a L’Heure du Diamant ring, were one of only two colored gemstone moments on the Critics Choice carpet (the other? Sarah Snook). Color was clearly the new statement.
AMANDA SEYFRIED: Serving old Hollywood drama in Tiffany & Co. A 1950s diamond watch with Demi Moore provenance, plus a platinum and diamond archival necklace pulled straight from the vault
DANIELLE BROOKS: The Peacemaker star caught our eye for all the right reasons. Her red carpet collection necklace from Chopard, set with seven fancy intense sapphires and 498 diamonds, totaled a cool $2.7 million, because sometimes $2.7 million is exactly what a moment needs.
KATE HUDSON:Â Did you notice that Hudson went full-on heart theme with her jewels at the Critics Choice Awards? Besides her 5.78-carat diamond ring and 3.77-carat earrings from the Precious Lace Collection, her Chopard necklace featured 43.32 carats of diamonds (some heart-cut), paired with a 4.98-carat heart-shaped black diamond ring.
WUNMI MOSAKU: Someone got the diamond memo. Sinners breakout star drenched herself in Messika’s Night Owl jewelry, from necklace to bracelet, earrings to rings.
FROM THE MEN: Sure, we saw our fair share of brooches on the red carpet, but we have to give credit to the guys who actually thought outside the box. Silver jewels and an unexpected pinkie ring proved that sometimes the men can steal a little spotlight too! Subtle? Maybe. Memorable? Absolutely.
ASHLEY WALTERS: He got the brooch memo with a Boucheron Flèche brooch paved in diamonds, but the real showstopper? His pinkie, sporting a Plume de Paon ring set with an oval sapphire.
RAMY YOUSSEF: The Mountainhead actor’s Dolce & Gabbana floral brooches were statement enough, any extra bling would’ve just been showing off.
NOAH SCHNAPP: Do you spot that glitter on Schnapp’s jacket? That’s just a $42,200 Torsade de Chaumet diamond brooch adorning the lapel of the Stranger Things star.
LEE BYUNG-HUN: The No Other Choice star took florals to a whole new level with his impossible-to-miss Dolce & Gabbana Maxi Flower brooch, sparkling with rhinestones.
CARL CLEMONS- HOPKINS: Who had the coolest jewels? The Hacks star rocked and stacked on Versani jewelry.
