The dresses at this year’s Met Gala were outstanding, but let’s not forget about the jewels. We were not disappointed with the loads of gorgeous sparklers on the red carpet. However, there was only a handful of pieces that really stood out.
We’ve listed the five celebs who wore the most outrageous jewelry pieces at the 2016 Met Gala:
1. Kate Bosworth
The lovely Kate Bosworth wore a stunning Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring a bodice fully decorated with clusters of sparkling stones. Going for a futuristic goddess look, she also wore a D&G headpiece with diamonds, rubies and other precious stones.

2. Lupita Nyong’o
While Lupita’s jade-colored Calvin Klein ensemble failed to impress on the red carpet, her jewelry pieces definitely caught our attention. The Oscar winner chose an array of gorgeous Tiffany & Co. diamond jewelry to pair with her dress. The total tally of her jewels racked up to a whopping $281,025! Wow!

3. Madonna
Madonna received some flak for her scandalous ensemble since she chose a risque Givenchy outfit for the event. But, as always, the Queen of Pop was bold and brave in her fashion decision and confidently rocked her sheer, bondage-inspired couture creation. To further amp up the look, Madonna wore several pieces of Neil Lane jewelry — ranging from a headpiece to body jewelry, that amounted to about 400 carats.

Katy Perry’s Prada gown was one of the most dramatic looks of the event. The stunning couture number featured gold embroidery and was styled with some heavy gold-toned keys, chains and even a Tamagotchi. Aside from the outrageous accessories, Katy also wore Fred Leighton earrings.

5. Lady Gaga
Never one to shy away from outrageous looks, Lady Gaga made sure she stood out at the Met Gala. Gaga nailed the futuristic fashion theme this year, wearing an Atelier Versace that featured a crystal-embellished bodysuit and jacket. She styled the fierce ensemble with 10-inch platform heels and sparkly and spiky Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.
