Rihanna might have stolen the spotlight at this year’s CFDA Fashion Awards with her sheer crystal gown, but several other celebrities also deserved the limelight that night.

Below are five celebs who we feel should share the spotlight with Riri, thanks to the gorgeous jewelry pieces they were wearing.

1. Busy Philipps: A Romantic Vision in Red and Opals at the CFDA Awards

Busy Philipps wore a striking long red gown from the Honor fall 2014 runway.

The halter-neck dress was styled with an Irene Neuwirth white gold necklace with pink opal roses in a diamond pavé setting. Her long necklace was the perfect piece of jewelry to finish her romantic look.

Sophia Bush’s Marchesa laser-cutout dress was stunning, but the midi hemline looks awkward on her petite frame. The savior of the ensemble was the eye-catching Dannijo statement necklace that added major glam to her look.

French actress Marion Cotillard chose another bold look for the event. Her Dior Couture spring 2014 embroidered silk dress stood out on the blue carpet. She further amped up the glam with a dainty but beautiful Chopard diamond collar necklace.

Blake Lively is not one to slack when it comes to style, and she has proven this by constantly being on the “Best Dressed” list of major events. She was yet again one of the best dressed at this year’s CFDA in a Michael Kors Resort 2015 sequinned dress.

The dress was simple but styled perfectly with Lorraine Schwartz diamond hoop earrings and loads of Lorraine Schwartz bangles made of natural wood embellished with diamonds. That’s a pretty unique combination, but it definitely works for us!
