Fashion at the Oscars: It's All About the Jewels

Only a few hours to go until the 2012 Academy Awards. What will they wear? Unfortunately, I have zero insider information on the gowns, but I'm willing to bet every one of tonight's Hollywood starlets will be dripping in shiny jewels. Case in point: this year's earlier award shows. No doubt these trends will find their way back onto the carpet tonight, too.

Black and onyx baubles are always chic and add just the right amount of style. Tina Fey rocked a beautiful earring and bracelet combo at this year's SAG Awards. Will this look make an appearance at the 2012 Oscars?

In my book, chandelier earrings never get old. In fact, the more dramatic, the better. I love them because they can dress up even the simplest outfit. And for an event like the SAG Awards, it's a great way to add glamour. Case in point: the lovely Octavia Spencer.

Let's be honest - no one rocks the diamond and sapphire look quite like Kate Middleton (except Princess Diana, of course), but actresses like Jessica Chastain and Penelope Anne Miller definitely came close this awards season.

And when in doubt, there's nothing quite like a classic. Charlize Theron dazzled in diamonds at the Golden Globes.

I can't wait to see all of tonight's looks! Who are you most excited to spot?
