The Best Diamond Jewelry From the 2024 Oscars After-Party
This year’s Oscars after-party saw Hollywood’s elite step out, shining in natural diamonds.
The 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party saw an influx of daring diamond jewelry moments, ranging from nostalgic to creative modernity on our favorite Hollywood icons.
After a diamond-studded awards ceremony, even more stars came out in droves, eager to show off their party-ready ensembles and show-stopping natural diamond jewels. Sydney Sweeney paid homage to Angelina Jolie’s 2004 Academy Awards look, wearing the very same Marc Bouwer gown with a bespoke natural diamond Messika necklace, emulating that of Jolie’s tiered H.Stern diamond bauble from 20 years ago.
Nina Dobrev, Kelly Rowland, Serena Williams, and Kerry Washington also wore mind-blowing diamond statement necklaces from Messika while Michelle Yeoh opted for a large diamond feather brooch by Cindy Chao for the occasion.
The be-all and end-all of after-parties, Vanity Fair has hosted its annual bash since 1994. 30 years ago, it was hosted at celebrity-favorite hangout Morton’s, on the corner of Robertson and Melrose. This year, the fête was hosted by the publication’s editor-in-chief Radhika Jones at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.
Here, take a closer look at the most dazzling natural diamond jewels seen at the 2024 Oscars after-party.

Stern, featuring $10 million in D-flawless important diamonds nearly 20 years ago, Sweeney called upon the French high jewelry house Messika to make her own layered diamond look.
