Reese Witherspoon opted for a sleek, turquoise dress in the 2014 Golden Globes, which was rather simple. But, the bling factor of her look was the jewellery she wore. She had three stacked diamond bracelets, an emerald-cut 10-carat diamond ring, and a pair of 4-carat diamond earrings on, together valued at $3.7 million.

To match the look, she threw in diamond earrings, a diamond finger ring, and three diamond bracelets, in platinum setting. Together valued $4.5 million, these jewellery pieces were also designed by Harry Winston. No wonder, one of the finest red carpet jewellery came from him.

8. Jennifer Lopez ($5 million)

At the 2011 Golden Globe, Jennifer Lopez stole the thunder with the classic combination of white and diamonds. Her sharp, white dress, and embellished shrug was a Zuhair Murad collection. But, the gorgeousness of the dress was taken over by the diamond galore she wore that night. She had a pair of diamond cluster earrings, a 7-carat diamond rind and a bracelet that dazzled with over 600 diamonds. Together, these were of $5 million. But, like a true diva, Lopez made no big deal out of it.

7. Jessica Alba ($6 million)

At the 2013 Golden Globes, Jessica Alba was the perfect showstopper, in a peach dress with a plunging neckline that highlighted a Harry Winston necklace. The $5.8 million diamond piece was a loan from Mrs. Winston. She spent another $.2 million on the diamond ring and earrings, both set in platinum. Alba had to bring security guards, just for the necklace. With $6 million worth of jewellery, she is one of the celebrities wearing the most expensive jewellery pieces on the red carpet.

6. Nicole Kidman ($7 million)

At the 2008 Oscars, Nicole Kidman appeared as a flawless embodiment of beauty, as she wore a simple but glamorous LBD by Balenciaga. But what really made her ensemble stand out was her elaborate necklace by L’Wren Scott. It was studded with over 7,600 diamonds, and took 6,200 long and arduous hours, which sums up to 258 straight days, to complete the piece, custom-made for Kidman. The extravagant piece cost her a whopping $7 million, and it looked the part, as well.

5. Sofia Vergara ($7 million)

At the 2013 Emmys, Sofia Vergara redefined the phrase, “red hot”, in her red, plunging mermaid gown, which was a Vera Wang design. To complete the look, she put on a pair of dangling earrings studded with ruby, sapphire and emerald gems of enormous size, while her two cocktail rings comprised a 210carat diamond ring and a 40-carat emerald and diamond ring, from Lorraine Schwartz. The jewellery pieces together were priced $7 million, as Vergara tied with Nicole Kidman.

4. Amy Adams ($8 million)

At the 2014 Golden Globes, Amy Adams walked away with the Critic’s Choice Award as the Best Actress for American Hustle, but it was not her only claim to all the spotlight she received. Her deep cut Valentino gown in two different shades of red made her look stunning, along with the $8 million worth of Lorraine Schwartz pieces she showed off. These consisted of 10-carat diamond earrings, a 12-carat diamond ring and a 30-carat diamond pendant, which together cost a massive $8 million.

Red gowns are a classic favourite for stars walking the red carpet, especially when teamed with expensive jewellery, as displayed by Anne Hathaway. She teamed her shiny red gown with $10 million worth of sparkling charms. She wore a 94-carat diamond necklace, a 10-carat diamond dangling earrings and a diamond ring, all of which came from Tiffany & Co. However, Anne didn’t pay for these. Tiffany & Co., on the other, hand, paid her $750,000 to wear the set to the event.

2. Gloria Stuart ($20 million)

Gloria Stuart was at the 1998 Oscars, nominated as the Best Supporting Actress for her role as the 100 year old Rose in Titanic, dressed in teal silk, and had the honour of wearing the replica of the Heart of the Ocean necklace portrayed in the movie.
