Oscars 2012 and who wore what at the 84th Academy Awards
Inescapable to the last, the 84th Academy Awards once
again pulled off the seemingly effortless coup of bringing together
the very best in film glamour from all over the world, and with
The Artist stealing the show as it did at the BAFTAs, a
lot of that glamour came not from Hollywood, but from France. It
went on to win Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor,
Best Original Score and Best Costume Design. As usual it was a
night quite like no other, the very pinnacle of Hollywood
excitement, where stars from all mediums were given the chance to
shine in their own unique way in that very unique place: the red
carpet.
Chopard were winners too, with Best Director
winner Michel Hazanavicius wearing the LUC XP Tonneau white gold
watch with alligator strap, while his wife and Best Supporting
Actress nominee Bérénice Bejo looked stunning in a pair of emerald
and diamond drop earrings featuring two pear-shape 20ct emerald
drops suspended from two 3ct emeralds and two pear-shape 4ct white
diamonds, set in both platinum and white gold. Bejo also
sported a brilliant-cut 6ct diamond ring set in white gold. Even
Uggie the adorable co-star sported a one-of-a-kind bow tie designed
by Chopard's Caroline Scheufele. Although not
nominated for her performance in The Artist, Missi Pyle
also took to the red carpet with Chopard wearing a pair of pear-shape 16ct
diamond chandelier earrings, diamond necklace featuring over 80
white diamonds (34cts) and a five-row 9ct diamond ring, all set in
platinum.
There to present rather than receive awards this year, the
irrepressibly gorgeous Penelope Cruz chose Chopard too, wearing a pear-shape 56ct diamond
necklace, 15ct diamond cluster earrings and fancy-shape 43ct
diamond line bracelet, all set in platinum. Best Supporting Actress
Nominee Melissa McCarthy looked delightful in Chopard
chandelier earrings featuring pear-shape 10ct white diamonds set in
platinum, coupled with pink diamonds pave-set in rose gold, and a
brilliant-cut pink tourmaline 24ct cocktail ring, set with over 500
white diamonds in white gold. Although she didn't walk away with a
little golden statue, it was lovely to see the Bridesmaids
star in the limelight for a thoroughly deserved nomination. Finally
Chopard came together with fashion designer
Georgina Chapman as she wore their marquise-cut 22ct diamond
cluster earrings and a fancy-shape diamond line bracelet featuring
over 100 white diamonds (60cts).
Best Actor winner Jean Dujardin and his lovely wife, French
Actress Alexandra Lamy both made sure this was a night they
wouldn't forget whilst he wore Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea
watch and Lamy a delightful Jaeger-LeCoultre Joaillerie watch from 1960,
with covered white gold case and platinum bracelet with 106
diamonds. Dujardin's Memovox tribute is limited to only 959 pieces
and is no doubt the ideal addition to his ever-growing collection
of Best Actor awards for this perfectly realised tribute to silent
cinema.
Elsewhere the redheaded wonder and Best Supporting Actress
nominee Emma Stone wore Louis Vuitton bracelet, earrings, and sequin
embroidered clutch to Sunday's Academy Awards. The bracelet is from
their 2012 high jewellery collection, whilst the earrings are of
white gold set with red spinels and diamonds, part of Louis Vuitton's L'Ame du Voyage high jewellery
collection. Although she lost out to the fabulous Octavia Spencer
who co-starred with Stone in The Help, expect to see a
whole lot more of this fantastically talented and splendid actress
as she stars in the upcoming summer blockbuster The Amazing
Spider-Man.
