Brooches Rule the 98th Oscars Red Carpet

Attributions from industry sources underscored a restrained, face‑framing direction in red‑carpet jewelry.

Overview

  • Men’s lapels featured brooches at near-saturation, with pieces for Michael B. Jordan (custom David Yurman) and Adrien Brody (Elsa Jin “Ulysses”) confirmed via Instagram posts.
  • Chokers defined the necklace silhouette, from Kristen Wiig’s Boucheron collar to Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s Bulgari Serpenti and Chase Infinity’s 57‑carat De Beers yellow diamond.
  • High‑jewelry colored stones stood out, led by Kate Hudson’s reported $35 million Garatti green‑diamond suite and Rose Byrne’s Taffin Desert Diamonds in warm tones.
  • Cause pins surfaced but receded compared with prior years, with “ICE OUT” and “Artists4CeaseFire” seen alongside Leonardo DiCaprio’s bee lapel pin worn in support of pollinator conservation.
  • Brand visibility remained strong through timepieces, with Rolex sponsoring the ceremony and Cartier, Omega and Chopard watches on several attendees; Hudson Williams paired a Bulgari Serpenti brooch with a matching watch.
