Was it the most expensive jewel ever worn to the Academy Awards? Worth a reported $30million, it’s likely that Lady Gaga’s Tif- fany diamond necklace claims that title. (The previous record was held by Titanic actress Gloria Stuart’s $20million Harry Winston blue diamond, inspired by the movie’s Heart of the Ocean.)

Six The Crown

Some of the year’s most prominent screen gems, clockwise from left: Helena Bonham Carter in The Crown; the cast of Succession; Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems; Helen Mirren in Catherine the Great; Elizabeth McGovern and Hugh Bonneville in Downton Abbey; Robert De Niro in The Irishman; and Henry￿VIII, whose marriages inspired the Broadway musical Six.

Succession

The Jewels of Stage and Screen

Leave it to critics to debate whether Robert Uncut Gems DeNiro or Joe Pesci was the true star of The Irishman; as far as T&C is concerned it was the jewelry—from pinkie rings to gold chains— that truly stole the show. And that wasn’t the year’s only instance of upstaging jewelry. From Adam Sandler’s turn as a Diamond District screwup in Uncut Gems to Helen Mirren’s tour de force Catherine the Great, the year’s most talked-about performances featured cameos— no pun intended—by blockbuster bling. The Irishman Up next is Broadway’s Six, a musical about HenryVIII’s bejeweled but doomed wives.
