Oscars fashion: Emerald City

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but emeralds were coming a close second as the ear candy of choice for the A-list at the 2012 Academy Awards.

The Help’s best actress nominee Viola Davis matched her enormous green earrings to her strapless Vera Wang gown AND her eye make-up.

The Artist’s Berenice Bejo had us green with envy over her spectacular Chopard emerald and diamond drop earrings, while Red Riding Hood’s Virginia Madsen contrasted her stunning amethyst toned Kevan Hall gown with giant emerald rocks.
