On March 10, 2024, stars descended the 96th Academy Awards ceremony for a night of well-deserved wins and perfect Ken-ergy. For the most memorable moments of the night, Ryan Gosling led an army of Kens for an electric performance of the Oscar-nominated track “I’m Just Ken” in a custom pink Gucci suit. Poor Things’ Emma Stone accepts the Best Actress award while managing her Louis Vuitton wardrobe malfunction and Oppenheimer swept the awards with a total of 7 wins including Best Picture.
On the red carpet, Hong Kong designers had their moment in the spotlight. Best actress alumni Michelle Yeoh wore CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel Diamond Foliage Earrings with her custom Balenciaga off-the-shoulder gown. The 27.3 carat earrings feature diamonds, yellow diamonds, pink and orange sapphires and metallic veins to complete its distinct leaf shape.
This year’s Best Actor winner Cillian Murphy wore Sauvereign for his historical moment. The bespoke HS14 Gem Brooch was designed by Bertrand Mak who took inspiration from Murphy’s character in Oppenheimer. Composed of eight concentric trapeziums, the 18K solid yellow gold brooch mimics the shape of the interior components in Oppenheimer’s invention. Its minimalistic design complements Murphy’s sharp custom Versace tuxedo that took inspiration from the Maison’s edgy ’90s creations. This is the first brooch that the actor has ever worn to a major film event.
Past Lives’ Greta Lee continues to do no wrong as she takes cinema’s biggest night in style. She opted for a Loewe Autumn/Winter 2024 black and white silk gown, and Tiffany & Co. jewellery to pair. It’s easy elegance at its finest.
Saving the best for last, Barbie’s iconic America Ferrera stayed true to theme and looked resplendent in a metallic pink custom Versace gown. To accessorise, she opted for a Pomellato High Jewelry necklace 1,274 hand-set princess, baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds. It might be a wrap for the Barbie saga, but this Barbie will always be an inspiration on-screen and off.
