Kylie Jenner, Anne Hathaway to Gwyneth Paltrow and Priyanka Chopra: Oscar 2026 sparkles with majestic diamond jewellery

At Oscar 2026, 'less is more' was replaced by 'more is magnificent', thanks to celebs such as Kylie Jenner, Anne Hathaway, and Priyanka Chopra, among others.

Best jewellery at Oscar 2026: If the 98th Academy Awards were a test of pure radiance, the class of 2026 passed with flying colours— and several hundred carats. While the films One Battle After Another and Sinners dominated the winners' list, the red carpet was a strategic battleground of diamonds, sapphires, and vintage revivals.

Representing Bulgari as its global ambassador, Priyanka Chopra was the personification of modern royalty. She paired her feathered white Dior gown with a staggering necklace encrusted with diamonds and blue sapphire accents. The piece served as the focal point of her look, complemented by simple diamond solitaire studs and black satin pumps from Jimmy Choo.

Returning to the Oscar stage for the first time in years, Anne Hathaway leaned into sophisticated glamour. To accent her floral Valentino gown, she chose diamond chandelier earrings that caught the light with every move, topped off with a classic diamond necklace that bridged old Hollywood and Gen-Z chic.

The actor proved that 'quiet luxury' is best served with loud diamonds. Wearing an ivory gown, she opted for Tiffany & Co jewellery – her choice of a sculptural diamond cuff and understated earrings reminded the world why she remains a red-carpet blueprint.

Kylie Jenner

Opting for a social media reveal before joining partner Timothee Chalamet, Kylie's jewellery was as much a talking point as her red gown. She picked a clean, high-impact aesthetic, choosing rare-cut diamond necklace, rings and earrings that showcased a more mature, refined Oscar look.

Teyana Taylor

The actor was a literal standout in dramatic black-and-white Chanel gown, but it was her Tiffany & Co jewels that stole the show – she sported a bold diamond-encrusted necklace with matching earrings.

The actor leaned into sultry elegance, pairing her lingerie-inspired gown with a diamond necklace that elongated her frame and added a touch of class to her red carpet look.
