Lady Gaga wore an 'Audrey Hepburn' Tiffany diamond for the Oscars
The Oscar winner for 'Shallow' is the third woman to wear the iconic jewel.
The singer Lady Gaga wore, during Sunday's 91st Oscars, a necklace with a yellow diamond that was worn by Audrey Hepburn.
The Tiffany & Co. diamond worn by the singer has 82 facets, 24 more than usual, is 128.54 carats, was found in 1877 in South Africa and is valued at about $ 30 million. The iconic Audrey Hepburn wore it in a choker during a promo shoot for the movie 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' in 1961.
Lady Gaga is the third woman to wear it in her 142-year history. The first was Sheldon Whitehouse, at the 1957 Tiffany Ball, and later Audrey Hepburn, according to Vanity Fair and the firm itself.
"@ladygaga brings the Tiffany diamond to 2019 #Oscars. In total 128.54 carats, this is only the third time it has been used in history. #AStarIsBorn #TheTiffanyDiamond," the company tweeted.

The also actress accompanied the iconic jewel with a very Hepburn-style look: a black Alexander McQueen dress and gloves of the same color.
Gaga took along with Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt, a statuette for Best Original Song with 'Shallow', the theme of the film 'A star is born'.
