brought few surprises: a few boring fashion moments, a few daring fashion moments, and a few major jewelry moments. Other than a surprisingly blah beige-sorry, champagne!-carpet, the 95th Academy Awards on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in L.A.
The sapphire and diamond ring found wrapped in socks has an unheated certified 4.16ct Burmese sapphire and is estimated to sell at £5,000 to £7,000.It was a big night for Everything Everywhere All At Once, white dresses, and arm sleeves/elbow-length gloves.
