The Best Oscar Jewels Had A New Type of Glamour

Necklaces, earrings and bracelets were styled in a way that felt modern

by Marion Fasel

March 10, 2024—There was a spirit of new formality on the Oscars red carpet. It paid tribute to the glamour of old Hollywood without mimicking it. The most surprising risk was perhaps the men who didn’t wear ties which was pretty tame compared to those who didn’t wear shirts last year. (I am looking at you Timothée.)

It was almost as though a color palette was circulated to guests of soft pastels as well as black and metallics with some Barbie pinks and reds thrown in for pops of color. Another sub-theme of the evening was oversized ruffles on shoulders and peplums as well as trains. Perhaps the costumes of Poor Things inspired the looks.

In terms of the jewelry, the palette aligned with gowns. Chokers ruled. There were some great pendant earrings and bold gold bracelets and more statement vintage jewels than have been on the Oscar red carpet in a very long time. In the spirit of sustainability, it felt contemporary to be wearing something old again.
