The Best 2022 Oscars Red Carpet Jewelry Will Leave You Completely Dazzled

It seems no red carpet look at the 94th Academy Awards was complete without a diamond necklace strand (or two), colorful gemstone rings, and minimalist earrings — for those who wanted a more understated look. Celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross and Lily James arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles ready to show off their jewels and glamorous gowns. As photographers captured ensembles from every angle, some of the most stunning attendees photos highlighted the best red carpet jewelry at the 2022 Oscars.

Close-ups of Jessica Chastain’s jewelry, particularly her face-framing dangling earrings that were dripping in diamonds, coupled with her sequin Gucci gown, dazzled everyone and promptly reminded viewers why jewelry should never be an afterthought for important events.

And host Wanda Sykes certainly wanted to put a spotlight on her jewels as she wore a pair of oval diamond earrings with her white pantsuit set. Meanwhile, actors like Demi Singleton wanted a simple shimmer via paper clip-inspired earrings that complemented her purple Miu Miu dress.

And while the gowns and vibrant hues of the evening were certainly spectacles in and of themselves, the glamorous accessories clearly made statements as well. In fact, one might argue, some of the luxury jewelry of the evening deserved their own award ... most eye-catching, perhaps? All in all, the baubles at the 2022 Oscars were unforgettably beautiful.
