Forget the long trains, plunging necklines, and shimmering embellishments for a second. For many of the stars on the Oscars red carpet, it was all about the jewels. Statement necklaces took center stage, often the focal point of an entire look – just check out Scarlett Johansson‘s regal emerald choker and Cate Blanchett‘s turquoise Tiffany & Co. beads.
Plus, leave it to celebs like Emma Stone, whose swirling cuff bracelets blended into the design of her dress and Nicole Kidman, who wore 115 carats worth of Harry Winston diamonds, to cause a round of applause with their outfit accoutrements. For a top-notch award ceremony, last night’s shoes, bags, and baubles definitely fit the bill. Ladies, your Monday morning is about to shine a little brighter.
