Lupita Nyong'o's Fred Leighton Headband

In a gown as dreamy as her flowing, baby-blue Prada number, it’s hard to focus on anything but the dress. But Nyong’o’s killer gold-and-diamond headband was quite possibly the most unexpectedly chic accessory of the night. Oh, and those earrings? They’re not too bad, either.

Sandra Bullock's Lorraine Schwartz Earrings

With a luxe navy Alexander McQueen number, the Gravity star needed few embellishments to complete her already-perfect ensemble. But if there was anything that could put the sartorial cherry on top of her winning outfit, it was these diamond stunners.

Portia de Rossi's Fendi Clutch

Not that her laser-cut Naeem Khan gown wasn’t a work of art in itself, but de Rossi’s Fendi clutch was nearly the highlight of her amazing ensemble, thanks to its bead and sequin detailing.

Jennifer Lawrence's Neil Lane Necklace

In her simple red Dior gown, Lawrence looked the definition of glamour at last night’s awards show — even down to her thin Neil Lane necklace, which added the perfect amount of drama to her otherwise-minimal look.

Olivia Wilde's Lorraine Schwartz Bracelets

The mommy-to-be’s earrings and ring — both by Lorraine Schwartz — were nothing to ignore, but it was the armful of brilliant black-and-white bangles that gave life to Wilde’s basic black gown.
