All the Most Spectacular Jewelry at the 2024 Oscars

The gowns on the 2024 Oscars red carpet riffed on classic Old Hollywood elegance, but when it came to jewelry, it was a case of one size fits all—and that size was extra large. There were stop-you-in-your-tracks necklaces, gems that outshone the gold statues, and plenty of male actors experimenting with maximalist sparkle.

Layering was something of a theme, as Emily Blunt—in Tiffany Co.—and Charlize Theron—wearing Boucheron—both wore chokers paired with necklaces. The carat count was sky-high, between Gabrielle Union-Wade’s astonishing 31-carat sky-blue aquamarine by Tiffany Co., Zendaya’s cherry-hued rubellite earrings by Bulgari, and the sunny yellow diamond by Louis Vuitton that twinkled around the neck of best actress winner Emma Stone. The stone brought a refreshing touch of sprezzatura to her pale mint gown, also designed by Louis Vuitton.

A David Yurman brooch twinkled at the heart of Colman Domingo’s black bow tie, while Barbie’s Simu Liu secured his tuxedo jacket with a De Beers diamond brooch from the “Imaginary Nature” high jewelry collection. To collect his best actor Oscar for Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy wore a customized brooch composed of eight concentric trapeziums, evoking the shape of the interior components of J Robert Oppenheimer’s portentous invention.

It was a big night for watches, too. Michelle Yeoh accessorized her silver Balenciaga gown with a diamond-encrusted Richard Mille timepiece and a pair of sparkling earrings by Cindy Chao. Anya Taylor-Joy wore a minuscule Jaeger-LeCoultre 101 Reine watch—a rare diminutive piece on a night replete with big rocks.
