The Oscars red carpet has evolved into a global phenomenon in its own right—a transformation sparked decades ago when the late Joan Rivers first asked, "Who are you wearing?" That single question birthed an entire ecosystem of celebrity stylists and creative directors who spend months engineering a single, "picture-perfect" moment. While custom couture and vintage archival finds still dominate the conversation, the 2026 circuit signalled a shift toward the finer details. From rare, independent timepieces to high jewellery masterpieces that carry the weight of a small estate, the right accessory no longer simply complements an outfit—it defines it. At this level of glamour, the choice of a watch or necklace is the difference between an iconic fashion moment and a "Party City" costume. Ahead, we share the highly-covetable watches and jewellery spotted on our favourite celebrities.
