With celebrities wearing more than $30 million in jewelry and watches, the 90th annual Academy Awards red carpet was more glittering than ever. As seen on Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner, blue gowns were the ideal canvas for brilliant sapphires, while Greta Gerwig and Gal Gadot opted for the blue box – both donned elegant necklaces by Tiffany & Co. While standout necklaces seemed to be worn on every star in 2017, this year’s accessory of choice was undeniably the statement earring. From Black Panther heroine Lupita Nyong'o to Get Out antagonist Allison Williams, here are the ten leading ladies who caught the eyes of our jewelry specialists in New York.
 

Allison Janney

What a night! Big thanks to @forevermarkusa for the gorgeous jewelry that perfectly completed my #Oscars look tonight.  And as always, none of this would possibly without the amazing glam squad! LOVE you @jillcrosbyhair, @collierstrong, @taraswennen!

Dressed in a custom, fiery red Reem Acra gown, Allison Janney could not look more different than her I, Tonya character, which won her Best Supporting Actress. Janney topped her Oscars debut look with Forevermark diamonds, including a classic rivière necklace.
 

Mary J. Blige

Being the first double dominee for Best Song and Best Supporting Actress definitely calls for larger-than-life earrings. Mary J. Blige appropriately wore Forevermark stunners with her white Atelier Versace gown.
