If we learned anything from last night’s Oscars red carpet, it’s that you don’t need to go overboard when accessorizing for special occasions!
Diamond and pearl jewelry is always the perfect go-to for these events. We spotted diamonds GALORE, but you can add a pop of color with single colored gemstones like Regina King, Zendaya, America Ferrera, and Gabrielle Union-Wade.

Many opted to wear drop/dangle earrings paired with ornate bracelets and rings (Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Ava Duvernay, and Danielle Brooks) or simple studs with a short single layer or pendant necklace (Eva Longoria and America). You DON’T need to wear ALL the pieces of jewelry you can!
A necklace is not always needed as we saw with Lupita, Ava, and Regina. Let the earrings, clutch, and details on your garment do most of the talking.
But ultimately, keep it elegant and classy!
