‘Frankenstein’ Costume Designer Is Bejeweled In Brooches for Oscars Win
Costume designer Kate Hawley wore three archival Tiffany & Co. brooches, our Pieces of the Week, while accepting her first Oscar.
This week’s Pieces of the Week celebrate another win, this time by costume designer Kate Hawley, who accepted her first Oscar at the award show on Sunday.
Hawley took home the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for her work on Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein.”
For the movie, she worked alongside del Toro and Tiffany & Co. to create original jewelry seen on actress Mia Goth, who played Elizabeth Lavenza. Tiffany & Co. also lent archival jewelry and objects to be used in the film.
The New Zealand costume designer has also worked with del Toro for costumes in his movies “Pacific Rim” and “Crimson Peak.”
While accepting her award, which was presented by Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour, Hawley was wearing a trio of archival brooches by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. paired with a custom Rory William Docherty dress.
According to Pinterest’s trend report for this year, brooches are predicted to be popular, and so far, they are.
For her Oscars attire, Hawley executed the “Brooched” trend perfectly.
Christopher Young, vice president and creative director of Tiffany Patrimony and global creative visual merchandising at Tiffany & Co., described her look as “a Jean Schlumberger constellation.”

Styled at the top of her trio of brooches was a Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. archival “Wings” brooch from 1969.
It centers on an orange-yellow sapphire of approximately 35 carats, accented by white diamonds in platinum and wings of colored diamonds set in gold.
Moving down, the next archival brooch, also by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co., is made in platinum and gold.
This piece, circa 1965 to 1970, features yellow beryl surrounded by diamonds.
The final brooch worn by Hawley was a Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. “Sea Anemone” clip from 1952.
It showcases diamonds, rubies, and sapphires in platinum and gold.
In an Instagram post, Young explained that Schlumberger was particularly drawn to flowers of the sea, including anemones, polyps, and corals found in tropical waters, when designing.
In her acceptance speech, Hawley said, “On behalf of myself and the amazing team that I work with, the artisans, the alchemists, the dream weavers, we’re so grateful to the Academy for recognizing our craft … And Guillermo—I’m not going to cry—thank you for the vision and for taking us on your journey.”
