Galerie’s Top 10 Jewelry Moments from the 2026 Oscars
This year’s Academy Awards showcased dazzling red carpet trends that have been going strong all season, from magnificent collar necklaces to the return of the brooch
The 2026 Oscars featured jewels and moments of astonishing uniqueness, from a rare tie between nominees to dazzling green diamonds. Galerie spotted red carpet trends we predicted and gorgeous vintage and antique pieces that pleased the eye. Notable moments from this year included glittering collars, bold earrings, broad use of the color green, and impressive accessory moments on men, in many cases, with the same zest and aplomb as the women.
From a perfectly placed Boucheron Bee Pin on Leonardo DiCaprio to Teyana Taylor’s illustrious Tiffany & Co. Shooting Star necklace, these are the top Oscars jewelry moments.
1. Rose Byrne in Desert Diamonds by Taffin
Best Actress nominee Rose Byrne wore a question mark-shaped, serpentine gold Taffin-designed torque with a smoky pear-shaped, 22.58 carat, yellow-brown antique-cut diamond. James de Givenchy, designer for Taffin, commented, “It’s always gratifying to see a piece leave the studio and take on a life of its own. Jewelry is meant to be worn and experienced, not simply kept in a case. I can’t imagine a more wonderful way to showcase it to the world than on a beautiful actress like Rose Byrne on the Oscars red carpet.”
Byrne, who was stunning in a floral Dior dress, accompanied the torque with an additional de Beers Desert diamond: a 16.54 ASHOKA-cut diamond ring that creatively paired 18k rose gold with bright, cobalt-blue enamel.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Boucheron Bee Pin
The design worn by Leonardo DiCaprio, a 2016 Best Actor winner, dates back to 1964 and was produced by Boucheron until the early 2000s. The yellow gold brooch, from the Boucheron Private collection, features yellow enamel, garnets, and diamonds. Its design stems from Frédéric Boucheron’s fascination with nature.
3. Kate Hudson in Garatti Fancy Green Diamonds
Someone involved in the styling process must have realized that the pale green of Kate Hudson’s Garatti diamonds and Armani Privé dress paired perfectly with adorable Grogu, seated next to her during a humorous presentation set piece that featured Baby Yoda’s The Mandalorian & Grogu co-star, Pedro Pascal.
Hudson’s Garatti ensemble had a luminous 41+ carats of Garatti’s signature Fancy Green diamonds. Her custom-made necklace, with its 16-carat centerpiece, was from the Sofia Collection.
4. Teyana Taylor’s Superlative Tiffany Diamonds
The first-time nominee donned nearly 1,000 Tiffany & Co. diamonds at this year’s awards, opting for the house’s illustrious Shooting Star necklace. The piece, part of Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste collection, is inspired by the designs of Jean Schlumberger and features an internally flawless emerald-cut diamond of over 18 carats that can also be worn as a ring.
5. Raphael Saadiq’s Open Face Audemars Piguet
Every Audemars Piguet watch is a wonder of art and engineering, and the one that Raphael Saadiq wore was no exception. His 41m Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked Calibre 2980 is the first of its kind and offers a spellbinding view of its interior Swiss perfection. The sole questionable aspect of Saadiq’s choice of timepiece is: how on earth does anyone wearing an Audemars Piguet ever manage to do anything but look at the time?
6. Kristen Wiig in Boucheron
The Palm Royale star wore a suite by Boucheron that offered a subtle yet bold take on the trend for the broad collar necklace. Her Quatre Classique matching necklace and cuff incorporated three different gold alloy shades and pavé diamonds. She accompanied it with a matching Quatre Classique XXL cuff bracelet and a 19.16-carat oval citrine Snake ring (also by Boucheron).
7. Elle Fanning’s Cartier and Double Wisteria
Both the 1904 Cartier Collection old-cut diamond necklace and the Sarah Burton for Givenchy dress worn by a radiant Elle Fanning took motifs from the pale lavender climbing flower. Ms. Fanning, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, also wore a Cartier Diamond Collection bracelet and ring.
8. Robert Downey Jr. x Tiffany
It’s been said that women stopped wearing brooches because the softer, lighter fabrics favored in modern dress cannot hold a heavy pin without risk to the garment, but men’s suit lapels are subject to no such constraints, and Robert Downey Jr. knows that the Tiffany Bird on a Rock works for him. He has worn it at previous awards ceremonies such as the 76th Emmys, along with other designs by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. This time, the rock beneath the pavé diamond, pink-sapphire-eyed bird was a green tourmaline weighing over 39 carats.
Downey kept step with the green trend worn by Demi Moore, Kate Hudson, and others this year. But in his case, the pine-green suit that he wore looked like an allusion to his highly anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Dr. Doom in Avengers: Doomsday.
9. Anne Hathaway’s Breathtaking Bulgari
Anne Hathaway was among the many actresses to sport dramatic earrings that dangled somewhere between the jaw and the shoulder. Her chosen pair of Bulgari Daphne’s Laurel Fancy Intense Yellow and white diamonds sparkled with a detachable fernlike design suspended from yellow pear cuts. She continued the 2026 Oscars love affair with fancy colored diamonds with her splendid collar, the Neoclassical Starlight High Jewelry necklace, which was inspired by Neoclassical design and the work of Antonio Canova.
10. Chase Stoke’s Omega Speedmaster
Chase Stokes’s red velvet suit caught the eye during the red carpet pre-shows, not just because of his confidence in wearing it, but also because the weather was unseasonably warm for Los Angeles in March. Stokes wisely forewent a necktie, but not a stellar wristwatch: the OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm, Sedna™in 18k rose gold on an alligator strap. The device impresses as formal wear, but with all of the technical features that Chronometer fans love.
