This year marks the ceremony's 97th stint and will see some of the world's most notable names and Hollywood heavyweights all under one roof, celebrating excellence in cinematic achievements.

Arguably one of the most memorable Oscars jewellery moments was when Lady Gaga sported Tiffany & Co.’s iconic Tiffany Yellow Diamond, previously worn by Audrey Hepburn back in 1961 while promoting Breakfast at Tiffany’s. To complete the look she added a matching ring.

To elevate her sleek-chic black John Galliano for Maison Margiela gown, Cate added a pop of colour in the form of a beaded blue necklace from Tiffany & Co. The collared piece featured 400 carats of turquoise cabochon gems, faceted diamonds and aquamarines and was clasped together with diamond pins.

To accent her delightful baby pink sheath dress from Prada, Anne accessorised to perfection by wearing a diamond floral necklace from Tiffany & Co. backwards. The styling choice was made all the more awe-inspiring due to her freshly trimmed pixie cut.
