The Vanity Fair Oscar Party served up a feast of jaw-dropping jewelry moments, and we were eating it up. Bracelets were having a major moment—Demi Moore kept her streak alive with a 1945 Boucheron citrine stunner, while Doja Cat took things up a notch with a Yeprem hand bracelet that was pure drama. Brooches? Still ruling the red carpet. One is never enough, and Oscar winner Paul Tazewell proved it with a trio, while Lamorne Morris used his to hold his tux together. But the biggest trend? Collar necklaces. Sure, we spotted a few sultry back necklaces at the Oscars, but the real VIPs of the night were chokers, sitting high on the collarbone and stealing the spotlight.
DEMI MOORE: Demi Moore deserves to be crowned the queen of red carpet bracelets. First, it was the stunning Chopard diamond bypass at the Oscars, and now she’s turned heads again with this 1945 Boucheron Private Collection citrine bracelet, set in yellow gold and paved with diamonds. Paired with Boucheron Pompon earrings, paved with diamonds in pink gold, Demi can do no wrong in our book!
MARGARET QUALLEY: Margaret Qualley was all sunshine and gold at the afterparty! She dazzled in Chanel’s L’Esprit du Lion Collection, wearing earrings and a ring featuring yellow beryls, with the ring showcasing a fierce lion face. The real showstopper? Her Chanel Flying Cloud series Sunny Rope bracelet in 18K gold and diamonds, valued at $700,000, evokes the image of a rope gleaming in the sunlight.
DOJA CAT: We can’t argue with stylist Brett Alan Nelson’s choice of jewels – edgy, sparkly gold pieces from Yeprem that were the purr-fect match for Doja Cat’s daring, unexpected, and boundary-pushing red carpet look.
MIKEY MADISON: After all the archival Tiffany & Co. diamonds Mikey’s been rocking this awards season, her Céleste Ray of Light pendant at the VF Oscar party was a breath of fresh air. Featuring over 10 carats of pink spinels, a 4-carat red spinel, and 454 round brilliant diamonds totaling over 24 carats, it was a stunning splash of color we were so thrilled to see!
JODIE TURNER-SMITH: Jodie Turner-Smith never disappoints on the red carpet. She dazzled in Pasquale Bruni’s Goddess Garden necklace, crafted in white gold and diamonds, crowned with a stunning emerald drop. Her look was completed with the Giardini Segreti earrings and Heart to Earth rings, set with emeralds and diamonds—pure elegance from head to toe.
JULIA GARNER: Mismatched earrings? Yes, please! Julia Garner stepped out in Pasquale Bruni’s Heart to Earth earrings, one in white gold and diamonds, the other crowned by a delicate morganite drop.
LINDSAY LOHAN: Who else got to raid the Lorraine Schwartz treasure chest? Lindsay Lohan, that’s who! She rocked a two-strand necklace with almost 100 carats of Colombian emeralds and natural diamonds, making her look like the real gem on the red carpet.
LAUREN SANCHEZ: If Sanchez’s necklace looks slightly familiar, picture a large emerald drop at the center, and suddenly, Salma Hayek’s version of the dynamite necklace from this year’s Golden Globes will come to mind. Hanging beneath Sanchez’s hairdo are stunning large emerald teardrop earrings, so let’s assume Lorraine Schwartz repurposed those emerald drops into the earrings.
ANA DE ARMAS: Ana de Armas went all in with Louis Vuitton’s Liberty necklace—diamonds, emeralds, and a 4.84-carat Colombian emerald that screams luxury. And get this: it took 1,300 hours to make. Talk about a statement piece!
CYNTHIA ERIVO: Cynthia wore MARLI New York’s new High Jewelry Darli Necklace with 18k white gold and diamonds, Moonlight rings, a convertible Darli ring and Cleo Sculpt diamond earrings with her ivory illusion tulle draped corseted Vivienne Westwood Couture dress. Were we expecting Elphaba Wicked-themed green jewels at this afterparty? Perhaps but somehow these gems, especially the choker, fit perfectly.
SARA SAMPAIO: Model Sara Sampaio shook up the classic pearl and diamond combo with a fresh, edgy spin. Her Messika Star Chaser necklace, paired with the Disco Pulsation bracelet and Fiery rings, proved that luxury can still bring the heat.
H.E.R.: Could there be a more fitting necklace for H.E.R.? Chopard’s Red Carpet Collection briolette-cut diamond choker wasn’t just stunning—it was symphonic. With rows of dangling briolettes mimicking the lines of a musical score (and possibly chiming with every movement), this piece hit all the right notes.
ANNA SAWAI: One of our favorite Cartier necklaces made a stunning VF Oscar Party appearance—the Geometry & Contrast necklace in 18K white gold, chrysoprase, onyx, and diamonds. Around Anna Sawai’s neck, it has never looked better.
SYDNEY SWEENEY: Did you catch it? Sydney Sweeney casually pinned a $50K De Beers Enchanted Lotus diamond brooch onto her custom Miu Miu at the VF Oscar party—a sneaky little sparkle move.
MEGAN THEE STALLION: Megan Thee Stallion hit the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet in Mateo New York green amethyst earrings set in 14K yellow gold ($4,000) and a Kallati amethyst ring with diamonds set in 14K yellow gold ($19,000). But what if she had taken it a step further—like pulled a Cardi B 2019 Met Gala move? Instead of rubies, imagine peridots. Now that would have been next-level!
SELENA GOMEZ: If we had to choose the ultimate Bvlgari moment from Selena’s Oscars night—the red carpet or the intricate cut-out High Jewelry diamond collar she wore to the VF Afterparty—this one wins, no contest.
LISA: K-Pop star made sure her first VF Oscar Party red carpet was one to remember. Case in point: her Bvlgari High Jewelry Serpenti necklace, coiled in 144 emeralds, with double serpents clutching a 10-carat pear diamond between their fangs. She topped it off with a High Jewelry ring, proving she understood the assignment.
SARAH PAULSON: The most exciting earring moment on the VF Oscar Party red carpet? Sarah Paulson’s Boucheron Iceberg pendant earrings from the Carte Blanche, Or Bleu High Jewelry collection—a dazzling mix of diamonds, rock crystal, and white gold.
CAMILA CABELLO: While Camila was dazzling at Elton John’s Oscar party, we couldn’t leave her out of this round-up. The stunning necklace she wore is part of a collection co-created by Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts and Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director at Chopard. This vibrant piece, along with matching earrings and rings, is crafted from a fragment of an enormous 6,225-carat emerald discovered in Zambia in February 2010.
THE MEN & THEIR JEWELS:
PAUL TAZEWELL: Three! Not one, but three brooches – this needs to be a trend. The Fred Leighton 1930s diamond and emerald swirl brooch, the salamander pin, and KWIAT’s 6-carat emerald and diamond snake brooch made for an eventful and eye-catching cluster on Wicked‘s costume designer’s lapel
KIT CONNOR: Not gonna lie, we prefer this archival Boucheron brooch from the Private Collection, dating back to 1924, over the one Kit wore on the Oscars carpet. The Art Déco feather design, set in diamonds and platinum, exudes vintage luxury at its finest. Wouldn’t you agree?
DAMIANO DAVID: It only made sense for Bvlgari’s newest global ambassador to slither onto the VF Oscar Party red carpet in one of their most iconic pieces—the Serpenti necklace, coiling in diamonds and emeralds—with matching earrings and a ring to complete the look.
DWYANE WADE & GABRIELLE UNION-WADE: Did Dwyane Bird’s On a Rock brooch with its striking 53-carat green tourmaline just outshine his wife Gabrielle’s iconic diamond Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Leaves necklace? We may be bold, but we’re not sure we’re wrong!
NOAH SCHNAPP: Stranger Things star brought vintage flair to the Oscars with a 1940 Tiffany & Co. multicolor diamond flower brooch from Joseph Saidian & Sons. Featuring fancy-colored diamonds in shades of pink, green, blue, gray, yellow, brown, and orange, this rare beauty comes with a $65,000 price tag.
COLMAN DOMINGO: Boucheron, give this man an ambassadorship ASAP. Domingo didn’t just wear the Flots Lavallière from the Carte Blanche, Or Bleu High Jewelry collection—he styled the diamond-paved white gold masterpiece as a tie. And for a touch of whimsy? Boucheron’s Wladimir the Cat earrings, shimmering with diamonds and tsavorites, perched playfully on his lobes.
BRANDON SKLENAR: Another floral brooch moment courtesy of “It Ends With Us” star—Anabela Chan’s Blush Parrot Bloom pin. Crafted from recycled aluminum and adorned with laboratory-grown gemstones, including canary citrines, this piece brings an eco-friendly twist to luxury jewelry.
LAMORNE MORRIS: Lamorne Morris turned heads with his bold brooch game, positioning Toni + Chloe Goutal’s diamond star brooches perfectly—one on his lapel and the other closing his tux jacket. Paired with a panther ring from EFFY Jewelry and a sleek diamond flat-link chain ring from Walters Faith, his look was nothing short of styling brilliance.
RICKY MARTIN: Who needs a brooch? Not Ricky Martin! His Rahaminov Diamonds round-cut diamond and black rhodium necklace brought just the right amount of sparkle to his tux—effortlessly draping over his tie like the ultimate power move.
