The influence of big money and big brands during the red carpet season in the US was evident this year, especially at the Oscars and the Golden Globes. The major jewelry houses adorned the biggest stars, making the biggest splash—even if that splash came with a hefty price tag.

White Diamonds, Platinum, and Timeless Designs

White diamonds, white gold, and platinum dominated the red carpet, especially at the Golden Globes. Jessica Chastain sparkled in white gold and diamond earrings and cuffs by Piaget. Naomi Watts made a bold statement with Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti diamond necklace, while Julianne Moore paired two platinum and diamond bracelets and three rings by Chopard with her metallic gown. De Beers Forevermark adorned Kate Hudson, Giuliana Rancic, and Frances O’Connor with layers of white diamonds and metal jewelry, reinforcing the season’s emphasis on “white-on-white” elegance.

Oscars: Subtle Elegance Meets Unique Color

While the Oscars showed a bit more variety, white diamonds largely ruled. Anna Kendrick wore a five-row diamond collar paired with marquise and pear-shaped cluster earrings totaling 13 carats. Jessica Chastain wore a delicate Piaget diamond necklace. Nicole Kidman dazzled in over $7 million worth of Harry Winston diamonds, though the pieces were understated. Felicity Jones paired “Dans les Étoiles” earrings with the “Snowflake” diamond bracelet, showcasing subtle use of color.

Nicole Kidman wore more than $7 million worth of Harry Winston Diamonds. However, it was actually difficult to see the pieces. Felcity Jones wore the “Dans les Étoiles” earrings featuring white and yellow diamonds and briolette-cut champagne diamond drops set in 18K white gold and “Snowflake” bracelet with diamonds set in platinum.

Bold Statement Pieces and Unique Designs

There were notable exceptions on the Oscars red carpet. Scarlett Johansson’s bib necklace paired with Piaget’s high jewellery Mediterranean garden ear cuff turned heads, while Lupita Nyong’o’s white Calvin Klein gown featured roughly 6,000 pearls (though they were faux) and paired with tasteful pearl drop earrings. Bold pendant necklaces, colorful cocktail rings, and elaborate ear cuffs are now mainstream, offering an edge while maintaining classic elegance.

So if you want to replicate what was worn on the red carpet for 2015 think riviere for necklaces, tasteful and elegant drop, or diamond stud earrings, and thin bracelets.
