What the Stars Wore Before, During and After the Oscars
From Charlize Theron’s extra-long Harry Winston piece to Mary J. Blige’s Pasquale Bruni bib, it was all about dressing up the neckline at and around the Academy Awards.

Sophie Turner, Martha Hunt, Mary J. Blige and Zendaya also donned diamond-heavy necklaces, both at the Oscars and its affiliated parties.
Big earrings remained an awards show staple as well, illustrated by the outstanding and oversized pair from Forevermark worn by Giuliana Rancic, as well as the graduated Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings donned by Oscar nominee Cate Blanchett.
