There’s a reason red carpet images outlive the ceremony itself. They capture more than fashion—they capture identity. As the 2026 Oscars draw closer, the nominees are using jewellery to signal confidence, risk and individuality. Long after the credits roll, it’s those glittering details that stay etched in memory.
From diamonds that mean business to brooches rewriting menswear rules, this year’s Oscar nominees have given us plenty to obsess over and more importantly, recreate. Whether you’re planning your own red carpet moment or just want your everyday stack to hit a little different, these are the five jewellery looks from the 2026 Oscar nominees that are absolutely worth stealing before the night even begins.
1. Rose Byrne’s Spotlight-Stealing Diamond Earrings
Nominated this year for the Best Actress category, Rose Byrne proved that sometimes, bigger really is better. At the 2026 Film Independent Spirit Awards, she centreed her entire look around bold, chunky diamond earrings—thick silhouettes with undeniable presence.
With her hair styled away from her face, the earrings framed her features and caught the light from every angle. No layering. No distraction. Just diamonds doing what they do best: command attention without trying too hard.
How to Recreate the Look
Trade in delicate studs for statement diamond earrings with strong, sculptural shapes. Keep your neckline minimal or skip the necklace entirely. Let your earrings lead the conversation.

2. Kate Hudson’s Power Cocktail Ring
Song Sung Blue earned Kate Hudson her second Oscar nomination, and she marked the occasion at the Academy Awards luncheon with a jewellery choice that was anything but understated.
Her look centreed around one bold cocktail ring—oversized, warm-toned and impossible to miss. Instead of stacking multiple pieces, she let a single dramatic ring anchor the entire outfit. It felt intentional, confident and refreshingly uncluttered. This is how you do maximalism without chaos.
How to Recreate the Look
Choose one oversized cocktail ring and let it carry your look. Keep your other jewellery minimal and allow your hands to do the talking. Sometimes, one bold piece is all you need.

3. Michael B. Jordan’s Layered Bracelet Moment
Nominated for Best Actor for his dual role in Sinners, Michael B. Jordan has been serving jewellery looks this entire awards season. At the Academy Awards luncheon, he paired a double-breasted suit with a two-piece bracelet stack on the wrist.
The bracelet stack worked as one complete thought: both considered, neither competing. It’s a masterclass in how men’s jewellery works best—when every piece feels like it belongs, not like it was added.
How to Recreate the Look
Stack two bracelets on the same wrist—different textures or finishes work best, as long as they share the same energy. Keep everything else off. The restraint is what makes it land.

4. Jessie Buckley’s Dramatic Dangle Earrings
Few performances this season have drawn as much attention as Buckley’s turn as Agnes Hathaway in Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet and she’s brought the same intensity to the Critics Choice Awards. She paired a sleek black-and-white Dior ensemble with long, dramatic dangle earrings that did exactly what dangle earrings do at their best: they added architecture to the look without competing with it.
The vertical line of a long dangle earring is one of the most flattering things you can wear. It draws the eye upward, elongates the neck and creates a natural frame for the face—all without asking anything complicated from the rest of the outfit.
How to Recreate the Look
Look for long, linear dangle earrings or tiered styles in not just diamonds but also coloured gemstones to add more personality and make it your own. Wear your hair up, skip the necklace and let the vertical silhouette elongate your entire look.

5. Timothee Chalamet’s Statement Necklace
Already a two-time Oscar nominee heading into this season, Chalamet won Best Actor at the Golden Globes for Marty Supreme before picking up his third Academy Award nomination. At the ceremony, he wore a bold pendant necklace as the centrepiece of an otherwise all-black look.
That’s the case for men’s statement necklaces in a single image. When the necklace is the right one, everything else recedes. It doesn’t need supporting chains or competing layers—just a clean outfit and the confidence to let it lead.
How to Recreate the Look
Choose one pendant with genuine presence and let it anchor the look. Keep everything else minimal—the necklace only feels intentional when it’s clearly the focal point.
