Tonight, the 2026 Oscars saw Hollywood’s best and brightest bring out their finest looks for the red carpet. (See the best-dressed stars of them all right here.) And while all the custom designer fashions had spectators buzzing with excitement, it was hard to draw the eyes away from all of the blinding jewels that accompanied them.
From high-carat diamonds to extremely rare sapphires, tonight’s top stars were dripping in baubles that cost millions (and likely came with several bodyguards as their dates).
Highlights included Kate Hudson, who wore over 41 carats of rare green diamonds by Garatti—worth $35 million—to match her green Armani Privé gown. Equally blinding were Anne Hathaway’s jewels; the star donned Bvlgari’s Neoclassical Starlight high jewelry necklace, with an 8.02-carat pear-cut fancy vivid yellow diamond at its center, set within a detachable pendant and surrounded by pear, round, and step-cut diamonds (totaling over 35 carats).
Even the men got in on the fine-jewelry action, many choosing to accessorize with striking brooches. Damson Idris, for one, wore a bespoke brooch from his own luxury jewelry brand, Didris, featuring a 7-carat marquise blue diamond surrounded by 42 natural diamonds. As for the best watch of the evening? That would go to Shaboozey, who sported a Chopard watch in 18-carat white gold set with diamonds.
