On Hollywood's biggest night, the stars of Tinseltown give the word "tinsel" a whole new meaning with megawatt jewels dripping from their lobes, wrists and necks. In honor of the 86th Academy Awards (just less than a week away!), we took a look back at the biggest sparklers that shone the brightest from the red carpet last year—and rendered it into a quiz. Which jewelry designers did Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron turn to accent their couture floor-grazing columns? And from the opposite direction, which Oscar nominee accessorized with a Chopard string of diamonds? Or, looked to Fred Leighton to amp up her shine? Put your wits to the test and pair the celebrity with her million-dollar counterpart.

Trick question! The pendants were removed so they wouldn't interfere the high neckline of Seyfried's embroidered Alexander McQueen gown. "The tops picked up the hints of silver in her dress so well, and Amanda loved how delicate they looked," said stylist Elizabeth Stewart.

The high collar of Hayek's Alexander McQueen gown was so ornate, the actress didn't want earrings or a necklace to compete with the detailing. So, she positioned Cindy Chao's gold Autumn Maple Leaves choker as a hairpiece in a way that the smallest leaf embellishments stood up like a tiara at the front of her 'do.

Winston's 25-carat Diamond Marquise Cluster was the perfect juxtaposition to Bullock's hand-beaded Elie Saab Haute Couture gown. "We were going for a sexy, cool Ali MacGraw-esque vibe," said stylist Deb Waknin-Harwin. "We planned the whole look around having a brooch in her hair."
