Diamonds are a girl’s (and guy’s) best friend. At tonight’s Oscars, the red carpet was all sparkle as the hottest names in Hollywood hit the town for the biggest event of the season: the 96th annual Academy Awards. The stars came out to shine head to toe with some incredible jewels, from brooches to multiple statement necklaces punctuating each look. Here are 13 of our favorite jewelry moments from the evening.

It turned out to be a big night for Murphy, who was up for his first Oscar for Best Actor in the film and clinched the win. The Irish actor was well-prepared for the occasion, dressed in some extra special wares for the evening. Ahead of the star-studded event, Sauvereign, designed by founder Bertrand Mak, conceived and created a bespoke brooch for Murphy. The HS14 Gem Brooch is cast in 18-karat solid yellow gold and composed of eight concentric trapeziums meticulously hand-cut, hand- finished, and assembled by legendary grandmaster Kari Voutilainen.

The young yet seasoned actress clinched the title, marking her second Oscar and second Best Actress win in addition to La La Land back in 2017. While taking the stage to accept her award, Stone stunned in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton. Her look included a custom aquamarine gown with a strapless neckline and dramatic peplum detail. The ensemble was topped off with pieces from the maison’s High Jewelry collection, including stud earrings, rings, and a stunning white diamond choker with a massive yellow stone at the center.
Charlize Theron in Boucheron

The multitalented actress is a powerhouse in the industry, solidifying her place in cinematic history with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005, a year after her Oscars win. This year, Theron got to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as a presenter, but she still brought her A-game. She might just have our favorite look of the night in a slew of Boucheron jewels. Theron was fully decked out, wearing the Quatre Radiant Edition pendant earrings, choker, necklace, and bracelet, paved with diamonds on white gold; Vendôme Liseré bangle and ring, paved with diamonds on white gold with black lacquer; and Quatre Double White Edition rings and ear clip, paved with diamonds in white gold with white hyceram.

This season, the actor received his first Academy Award nomination in the Best Actor category for his role in Rustin. He came to win with an ensemble that combined bling and cowboy boots for another showstopping look. He paired his black double-breasted suit with just the right amount of sparkle, including a dazzling brooch bowtie and jewelry from David Yurman.

Union rocked Hollywood’s hottest color of the night, silver, with a stunning and sparkling gown complete with Tiffany & Co. jewels with just the right pop of color. She opted for a striking platinum necklace with diamonds and a breathtaking aquamarine of over 31 carats.

Simu Liu in De Beers

He’s yet to land an Oscar nomination but joined the cast and crew of Barbie at the 96th Academy Awards in support of the movie’s eight nominations, including Best Picture. Liu walked the red carpet in modern suiting from Fendi, swapping the traditional button-down and tie for a low-neck shirt. He topped off the look with a brooch from De Beers clasped at the waist.

Florence Pugh in Bulgari

The British actress’s resume includes roles in the Marvel Universe, the thriller Don’t Worry Darling, and most recently the Dune series all before the age of 30. While she wasn’t personally up for an award at tonight’s Oscars, she joined her fellow castmates of Oppenheimer, which led the night with a whopping 13 total nominations—and took home seven, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Pugh strutted the red carpet glistening from head to toe in an all-silver look. She topped off the ensemble with jewelry from Bulgari, including rings, earrings, and, most prominently, a gorgeous Serpenti wraparound diamond necklace.
Margot Robbie in Fred Leighton

After a season of wearing playful Barbie-pink, Robbie opted for a more toned-down look for the big award show. She wore a fitted brown Versace gown with just the right amount of sparkle. She accessorized the ensemble with two bold vintage pieces from Fred Leighton: a 1980’s diamond and gold twist cuff by Boivin and a 1940’s gold and diamond bombe ring by Suzanne Belperron.
Sterling K. Brown in Boucheron

However, this year marked his first nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in American Fiction. In hopes of a win, he took to the red carpet in a timeless look. He opted for sophisticated tux from Dior and a crisp white shirt. He completed the ensemble with the men’s fashion statement of the season: a brooch. Brown chose the Barette brooch in platinum set with diamonds and sapphires circa 1919 from Boucheron’s private collection.

Both stars opted for all white ensembles with silver accents, including some stunning jewelry from Tiffany & Co. Tonight was a big night for Blunt, who was up for her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Oppenheimer. She faced some tough competition, including The Color Purple‘s Danielle Brooks, Barbie‘s America Ferrera, and Nyad‘s Jodie Foster, ultaimtely losing to The Holdovers‘ Da’Vine Joy Randolph. Still, Blunt took the upset in stride and looked stunning while doing so.

For the former, Huller herself notched the nomination for Best Actress. While she ultimately lost to Emma Stone, the attention has made her one to watch on the Hollywood scene. All eyes were on her as she hit the red carpet in a high drama, off-the-shoulder custom gown designed by Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli.
