Oscar's best (and worst) Jewelry moments!

Hello there! It's that time, my Oscar's review of the best and worst jewelry moments. I was really pleased with the red carpet this year. The gowns were beautiful and the jewelry was finally back on the red carpet. I know the dresses are the main show, but jewelry sure gave dresses a run for their money. Maybe stylists are reading my blog?? Yea, probably not, but one can dream!

I didn't find too many jewelry "misses" this year, but don't worry, I will get to them. These are the top trends this red carpet.

Jewelry AS your dress

Lupita nyong'o

There are no words. I squealed with delight when I saw her get out of her car. There are witnesses to this, you can ask them. I lost it. THANK YOU! A fashion risk, a jewelry statement, and now an Oscar moment. It is a Calvin Klein gown with over 6,000 real and man made pearls. She is the perfect woman to wear this dress, and she looks perfect.

Statement Necklaces 

Margot Robbie

Margot was stunning in this Van Cleef and Arpels vintage zipper necklace. Its 18 Karat yellow gold with diamonds and a show-stopping sapphire tassel! Yes a TASSEL! It feels like a dream. Her stylist could have easily went for a giant diamond pendant but no-one would have remembered that. This necklace completes her look and pushes her into style icon status.

Cate Blanchett

Staying with the statement necklace theme, Cate Blanchette and Scarlett Johansson were the queens of the statement necklace.

 Cate was adorned with a Tiffany & Co. turquoise, aquamarine, and diamond necklace. It was the perfect amount of bling and color to bring life to her dress. For such a classic woman, she really knows how to punch it up with jewelry.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlet was being smothered by a Swarovski crystal giant choker. I did love Scarlet's look, I really do, but looking back it seemed so uncomfortable. Could she breath? Ehh who cares, she looks beautiful! I don't know about you, but breathing is my top requirement in choosing jewelry. Seems like a normal request.

Statement earrings

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer was rocking some HUGE emerald and diamond earrings and a HUGE emerald ring too! She always surprises me. Her jewelry game has been on point, and I'm just excited to see more. She is not afraid to take risks. Keep it coming!

Octavia rocked these beautiful Jade and diamond earrings. They are stunning, the perfect length, and matched her dress pretty much perfectly. She knows how to rock a statement earring without them taking over her face. Sadly, I can't say the same for Gwyneth Paltrow...

Ok, look. You can't have like five statements going on at the same time. The rose, beautiful, the earrings, beautiful, the long dress, beautiful. All together, not so much. I don't know how else to explain it. Too much of a good thing? Less is more? Look in the mirror? The giant, and I mean GIANT Rubellite earrings, just compete with her dress. And that's just not fair to the dress, or the earrings! Sorry, Gwyneth, you just Gooped yourself a big weird pink mess.

Small diamond stud earrings

Patricia Arquette

You can tell I'm not a huge fan of small jewelry on the red carpet, but I do appreciate it when the jewelry matches the personality of the woman. Patricia has always been understated in her jewelry and fashion. I love this look, because its wearable on a daily basis. Lets wear drop diamond earrings rather than diamond studs! Also, that golden Oscar is the best accessory she could ever ask for. Congrats to her!

Dakota Johnson

Dakota has decided to wear diamond studs, and a bunch of bracelets, and a giant diamond ring. It's nice, not stunning, but nice. Maybe diamond hand-cuffs? Too on the nose? How fun would that have been?!?!!

Over all I was very pleased with this years Oscars. The past few years have been a bit boring, and now everyone is getting excited about jewelry again! 

Let me know in the comments what your favorite jewelry moment was!
