Feb 25, 2019 1:40 AM UTC Lady Gaga dazzled at the [91st Academy Awards](http://time.com/5534976/oscars-2019-winners/ ‎) red carpet in a black Alexander McQueen gown and a piece of jewelry that carries a significant amount of history. Gaga, nominated in the Best Actress category for A Star Is Born, wore the Tiffany Yellow Diamond — a legendary stone that is one of the largest yellow diamonds ever found. At 128.54 carats, the diamond is worth about $30 million, according to [_People_](https://people.com/style/oscars-2019-lady-gaga-tiffany-yellow-diamond-necklace/). It was discovered about 141 years ago, Tiffany & Co. Chief Artistic Officer Reed Krakoff said in a statement. Gaga is apparently the first star to wear the stone since Audrey Hepburn sported it in publicity photos for the film _Breakfast at Tiffany’s_.  Audrey Hepburn, about to begin filming for Breakfast At Tiffany's, wears one of the store's most expensive diamond necklaces.
