Oscars: maximal jewelry moment
The Vogue podcast notes a swing back to maximalist jewelry at the Oscars — Kate Hudson reportedly wore over $35 million in rare green diamonds, and feathers were a recurring microtrend across multiple red‑carpet looks The Run‑Through with Vogue Grazia.
Milan-based atelier Garatti supplied the green-diamond suite seen on the carpet, a house long profiled for its specialty in fancy green stones. (garattimilano.com) Multiple outlets reported the suite totaled roughly 41 carats and included a centerpiece necklace with a roughly 16‑carat fancy green stone. (lofficielusa.com) By contrast, WWD’s stylist notes described the look’s anchor as a 15‑carat Fancy Deep Green ring, highlighting conflicting carat tallies across reports. (wwd.com) The jewelry was paired with a custom Giorgio Armani Privé gown on March 15, 2026, and stylist Sophie Lopez told WWD the team “collaborated with Garatti” to achieve a cohesive red‑carpet presentation. (wwd.com) Other high‑jewelry moments amplified the maximalist feel: Kylie Jenner’s suite was reported at roughly 200 carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, and outlets flagged multiple multi‑carat showpieces across the guest list. (marieclaire.com) Feathers surfaced as a parallel microtrend, with Chanel looks by Matthieu Blazy on Teyana Taylor and Nicole Kidman and feathered gowns on Demi Moore and Priyanka Chopra noted across fashion coverage.
