These SAG Awards Jewels Stole the Virtual Broadcast
High jewelry from Bulgari and Cartier ruled the socially distanced show.

Maybe it’s the COVID-19 vaccine’s wider rollout or glam squads going a little stir-crazy at home (relatable), but if Kerry Washington’s synchronized swimmer-inspired at-home photoshoot pictured above is any indication, the Oscars will be as glam as they can be from afar.
Here are a few joyful jewelry looks from their precursor, the SAG Awards, held last Sunday in Los Angeles.
