When Madonna attended the Vanity Fair post-Oscar bash last night, she borrowed over 600 carats of diamonds for the occasion. To top it off, when she hosted her own party later that evening the Material Girl put on an extra 300 carats or so… you know, because she can. Somehow, OK! got a list of all the jewels that Madge borrowed (or bought?):
Our guess is that Madonna thinks a recession is when you have to do your session again.
Because while the rest of America is cutting back, the superstar — who was last troubled by money problems when Reagan was president — piled on diamonds like sprinkles on a sundae for Oscar night.
Reminding us all why they call her the Material Girl, OK! has learned that she showed up to last night’s Vanity Fair post-Oscar bash wearing millions of dollars worth of Neil Lane jewelry, including:
• A black and white diamond chain with 500 carats of the shiny stones
• A diamond bangle with 25 carats of diamonds and platinum
• An onyx and diamond bracelet with 50 carats of diamonds
• A pair of diamond pear shape earrings of 20 carats each
• A square diamond and onyx ringThen for her own private party — not wanting to skimp on diamonds — Madge strapped herself into a cross and chain with 100 carats of diamonds, bracelets with 50 carats of diamonds, long diamond earrings worth 1 million dollars and a huge diamond and platinum ring.
Something tells us that her $76 million divorce settlement with Guy Ritchie hasn’t got her buying own-brands at the supermarket quite yet.

Even though I’m lacking in carats, I’m a huge fan of great jewelry if its worn well. But putting on that much jewelry just to party – because keep in mind, Madonna wasn’t invited to the ceremony – is overkill. Special, individual pieces get lost in the maze of bling. Too much is too much.
Neil Lane is one of the best jewelers to the stars. The jeweler collects older, antique and vintage pieces to loan out, but he also reworks some pieces and creates many from scratch. What in the world was he thinking giving that much to Madonna? Though to her credit, nothing complements the femininity of a diamond quite so well as bulging muscles.
Here’s Madonna at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party last night. Images thanks to WENN.
I’m surprised with how good her hair looks in the opening picture. She doesn’t look half bad… but the dress is a different story IMO.
A woman as ugly as Madonna has to pile on the bling to prevent people from looking at her face. A secure woman knows less is more.
She looks great but with a much classier dress, she would have looked even better.

Apprarently she was running areound the house in a sequined leotard, like any Sunday night, then suddenly realized she had a party to attend and ripped down the net drapes from the S&M room, like Scarlett O’Hara, and fashioned a sarong….so wrong. She really needs a friend, that doesn’t want something from her or is scared of her to tell her not to wear the see through crap anymore! It’s NOT SEXY ANYMORE.
No matter how she did it–you have to admit that her face looks amazing.
I think all those black diamonds would’ve looked much better againt a cream-colored dress.
Her work must be settling, this is the best she’s looked in ages.
the next Mae West
for those who dont know Mae she was this old old past her prime celebrity who still thought she was hot and sexy and always surrounded herself with young ( gay ) studs
I agree – from the neck up, she actually looks like I suppose she would like to look.
Yeah, her face is different… She looks like Lindsay now.
I love grannies’ faces “au naturel” but that one, I wouldn’t want to see her face without makeup. With all her partying and altogether mean ways, I bet she doesn’t look much better than Sharon Stone.
her face looks flawless!
neck down, just not as much…
what an unflattering dress!!!!!!And those arms still freaks me out!
Someone had some really good work done!
It amazes me that she had to borrow that jewelry. Doesn’t she have brazillions of dollars?
That being said, she’s still a tiny piece of gristle.
ps-Agree that it’s time to stop wearing lingerie/burlesque outfits for gowns. We already know she’s ‘in shape’. And it ain’t sexy. And by comments here,I meant general,nearly daily comments on celeb*tchy-they are proportionally out of line with the content of the posts. Too much emotional charge,IMO.
should have had her nails done.
She looks better than I’ve seen her look in years.
That said, I’m getting really annoyed with people getting slammed for having nice lives while there’s a recesion, it’s starting to sound a bit like communism: no one’s allowed to have anything that everyone doesn’t have. I read the same comments on Huff Post about the Oscars, people were pissed that they ate gourmet food. What were they supposed to do, slurp on gruel and nibble saltines?
Rich people pretending to be poor may make some people feel better, but it isn’t going to fix the economy.
she looks like a wax figure… creepy!
UGLY UGLY UGLY
She may have bought herself a new face, but she is still a narcisstic, self-centered, judgmental faemwhore. Ain’t enough $$$ in the world to cover up a nasty personality.
UGLY UGLY UGLY
She may have bought a new face, but she’s still the same SMUG, holier-than-thou, self-centered FAMEWHORE. GO AWAY, granny!
Her skin looks amazingly smooth. I really wonder what she spends on skincare and plastic surgery (or at the very least botox) a year? I don’t mean this to be catty, I’m just jealous. I didn’t look that good when I was half her age.
Looks like she got fat injected in her face. Perhaps she got cheek implants. Nothing surprises me anymore.
UGLY UGLY UGLY
She may have bought a new face, but she’s still the same SMUG, holier-than-thou, self-centered FAMEho. GO AWAY, granny!
I can’t believe how youthful she looks in that first pic. Its an incredible testament to the wonders of modern plastic and cosmetic surgery.
She looks like a mix between Marcia Cross and Kim Cattrall. Beautiful, but when you know how she’s achieved it, it becomes kind of creepy.
She looks much better than when she was younger thanks to plastic surgery.
Obviously she needs all that bling and shine to detract people from staring at her face, DUH!
@kiki: ACK! Mae West was AWESOME. Do not soil her good name with comparisons to madonna. 🙂
Ostentatiousness hits a new low. In a stressful time for many people in the world who are losing homes and jobs, here’s Madonna rubbing her wealth in our faces. She truly is a hypocrite.
