Forget the usual watches and cufflinks—men’s accessories at the 2025 Oscars were next-level. From bedazzling brooches to unexpected tie trends, the red carpet proved that men’s fashion is evolving with style, statement, and significance. Gone are the days of just subtle touches—this year, it’s all about vintage gems, with chains, pearls, and meaningful brooches making their mark. These stars are raiding vintage archives for rare, timeless pieces, adding depth and personality to their looks. The Oscars 2025 was a clear sign that men’s red carpet style is more exciting than ever, with accessories that demand attention.
COLMAN DOMINGO: Colman Domingo secured his spot on our best Oscar jewelry list! Dripping in Boucheron, he rocked the Fuzzy the Leopard Cat ring with a striking tourmaline, a 1946 tassel bracelet linked by five gold tubular motifs, and a 1956 Ribbon clip pinned to his lapel —but which piece stole the show for you?
PAUL TAZEWELL: Paul Tazewell had THE brooch moment of the night at the Oscars! Winning Best Costume Design for Wicked as the first Black man to do so, he paired it with a Fred Leighton 1950s diamond brooch boasting 45+ carats of diamonds, Art Deco emerald cufflinks, and a KWIAT Ashoka diamond snake ring.
ROBERT DOWNEY JR.: The story behind Downey’s fruit-themed brooch? Word has it that his Jean Schlumberger berry brooch by Tiffany & Co. is strikingly similar to one Jackie Kennedy received from John F. Kennedy after the birth of their son.
TIMOTHEE CHALAMET: Timothée Chalamet just threw the rulebook out the window—securing a sapphire and diamond Cartier Tradition necklace from 1988 at his collar instead of a tie. Add a Cartier Mini Baignoire watch posing as a bracelet, and it’s easily one of the coolest jewelry flexes of the night!
ADRIEN BRODY: Wait, are Adrien Brody and partner Georgina Chapman twinning? Adrien’s rocking an Elsa Jin brooch, but is Georgina wearing matching earrings? Talk about Oscars couple jewelry goals—could this be the ultimate coordinated moment?
JOE ALWYN: Taylor’s ex gave us a colorful brooch moment courtesy of Bvlgari—a High Jewelry brooch in pink gold with a stunning cabochon rubellite. A perfect pop of color to elevate his tux, don’t you think?
QUESTLOVE: Speaking of elevating a black tux, Questlove took it up a notch with a floral twist! He chose an electrifying dark pink flower brooch, featuring diamond stamen and an emerald stalk, all thanks to Dena Kemp.
OMAR APOLLO: Omar Apollo is breaking the rules of red carpet jewelry. We’re tired of the guys who throw on a single brooch and call it a look (yes, he had one too). But when the vibe calls for it, more is definitely better. He wasn’t just stopping there—this pop star added diamond drop earrings, a pink sapphire and diamond ring, and even rocked a veil, taking his jewelry game to a whole new level.
KIT CONNOR: Kit Connor’s first Oscars, and he’s already stealing the show! Those 1960 Boucheron clip pins in white gold, platinum, and diamonds—are they too fabulous for a first-timer, or is this just the start of a new red carpet jewelry legacy?
ROWOON: Friend of the House and South Korean actor and singer Rowoon added some serious sparkle with a Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Apollo brooch—featuring a dazzling 6 carats of diamonds at its center. The inspiration? The celestial beauty of the Greek god of the sun. Shine bright, Rowoon!
JON M. CHU: Wicked director Jon Chu made a bold statement at the Oscars, wearing $32,000 monkey cufflinks from David Webb. A perfect nod to the iconic flying monkeys created by Elphaba in his highly anticipated directed film Wicked. Is this a little Easter egg for fans, or just the start of a wickedly stylish streak?
KIERAN CULKIN: Culkin’s Fred Leighton brooch, featuring a purple sapphire, Colombian emerald, and peridot, may look like a simple lapel accessory, but there’s a hidden twist: it represents the birthstones of his wife, Jazz Charton, and their two kids. Talk about a red carpet moment with layers! Now that’s a piece of jewelry with serious emotional weight.
SEBASTIAN STAN: Sebastian Stan’s Cartier Fauna and Flora brooch in 18k yellow gold, set with white and yellow diamonds, resembles a dandelion—a symbol of resilience due to its ability to grow in difficult conditions. Given his role as Donald Trump in The Apprentice movie, could this choice be a cheeky nod to navigating challenges, no matter how tough?
ANDREW WATT: Instead of wearing his heart on his sleeve, Andrew Watt wore it on his wrist! The total cost of this pearl jewelry look? $4350 in Valentino costume jewelry, including a $2700 necklace and $1650 heart bracelet. Take that, diamonds!
