Which male celeb wore a necklace priced at more than S$200,000, and which female celeb wore a vintage watch from the 1920s specially flown in from Switzerland?
It was Singapore’s biggest night in Chinese entertainment and this year, the annual Star Awards returned back to The Theatre at Mediacorp. The stars were out in full force on Sunday night (Apr 24), bringing out dazzling bling and eye-popping wrist candy.
This year, women weren’t the only ones wearing statement-making jewellery, with several male celebs turning up in sparkly brooches and shining necklaces. Meanwhile, female stars proved that timepieces aren’t just the domain of men.
Here’s a round-up of the looks that caught our eye.
CHEN HANWEI
It was a big night for host Chen Hanwei, who also walked away with the Best Actor award. The veteran actor put his best wrist forward with the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Moonshine Gold. The green on gold timepiece stood out against Chen’s black tuxedo.

For the awards ceremony, the actor changed into a black and white lapel blazer, accessorised with a Panthere de Cartier brooch.
