47. Jennifer Hudson’s Emerald Earrings
Designer: Lorraine Schwartz
Event: 2015 Oscars
Worth: $500,000-$1 million*
Jennifer Hudson wore a yellow, strapless Romona Keveza dress to the 2015 Oscars, and she hit all the right notes (pun intended) when she paired the look with these unforgettable statement earrings from Lorraine Schwartz. The diamond and emerald earrings were hard to miss, as they had a total carat weight of 110.

The bold, colorful look was also one of the most expensive of the night, likely costing in the hundreds of thousands, if not more. Emeralds are the priciest of the beryls, and they’re also costlier than regular diamond jewelry, thanks to their rarity and the strict clarity standards to which they have to adhere.
