The Best Bling On The Oscars Red Carpet 2016
The Oscars is arguably one of Hollywood’s most gawk-worthy nights for glam fashion, and last night’s 88th Academy Awards did not disappoint. Standout trends of the night included rich jewel tones, monochromatic makeup and innovative sculptured updos. All eyes might have been on the gorgeous gowns, but let’s not forget about the bold accessories that flared up the night. And we’re not just talking about Jared Leto’s red silk flower.
This had to be one of the best years for bold yet refined jewelry on the Oscars red carpet. Earrings were a focal point with chandeliers, geometric designs and large drops taking the lead, while necklaces added the finishing touches to the most sought-after looks of the evening. Though Lady Gaga and Priyanka Chopra were wearing enough jewels to buy a small suburban neighborhood, we have put together a list for you so you can steal the look without breaking the bank. Below are some of our favorite Oscar-worthy BLING moments showcased on the red carpet…
Alicia Vikander channeled Belle from Beauty and the Beast in a yellow Louis Vuitton mullet dress. Keeping her hair and makeup simple, Alicia let her diamond latticework earrings be the center of attention --above the neckline that is. Dazzle your ears with stunners like these by shopping our I Heart Earrings.
Brie Larson not only earned her first Oscar as lead actress in Room, but also scored major points with the fashion police in a custom Gucci sapphire silk ruffled organza gown with a velvet black crystal and pearl embroidered belt. She also stole the show from the back by adding some bling to her twisted updo with a Swarovski crystal comb. Dangling pearl earrings added an extra touch of elegance to complete the ensemble. Check out our Elegant Leaf Drops to get a pair just like Brie’s.
Chrissy Teigen looked flawless, baby bump and all. She looked flawless in a sheer nude gown with maroon floral embroidery and beading.

Naomi Watts shimmered down the red carpet in a strapless Armani Prive gown embellished with sapphire blue and purple Swarovski crystals. The former Oscar nominee was decked out in even more glitz with a Bulgari diamond collar necklace, earrings and ring. Get blinged out in a super statement necklace like Naomi in our white pearl crystal Wedding Day Set.
In her typical fashion, Lady Gaga stood out from the crowd and decided to drench the red carpet in a stark white strapless Brandon Maxwell pantsuit. The singer rocked a pair of 90-carat emerald cut diamond earrings worth a staggering $8 million. She kept the rest of her look simple with understated makeup and old school glam waves. Since not all of us can afford the likes of Lady Gaga's picks, check out a more attainable and just as gorgeous option with our Gatsby inspired dangling Artistic Earrings.
