Love Island USA star Olandria Carthen rocked a stunning accessory to the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party March 15—but the jewel’s hefty price tag left her feeling extra cautious during the soirée.
Oscars 2026 Best Dressed Celebrities: Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña & More
A hot new bombshell has entered the Vanity Fair Oscars party—and her name is Olandria Carthen.
The Love Island USA alum lit up the gray carpet as she attended the 2026 Academy Awards after-party March 15, turning heads in a custom white backless Pajtim Raci gown with plunging neckline and a sheer floor-length skirt.
And while the daring ensemble marked yet another fashion triumph for Olandria, the 27-year-old couldn’t get over the shimmering accessory she wore with the look—which carried a jaw-dropping price tag.
“The back necklace? 10 milli!!!” the reality star said of the multi-million-dollar jewelry in a post on X (formerly Twitter) March 16. “I was scared af the whole night ngl [not gonna lie].”
And after a fan shared a playful meme summarizing Olandria’s extreme caution with the jewels, the model—who is dating her Love Island costar Nic Vansteenberghe—confirmed the post was an accurate depiction of her demeanor throughout the evening.
“LMFAOO nah fr!!!,” she replied to the meme. “Jumping everytime ppl reach for a hug.”
Olandria wasn’t the only islander brushing shoulders with the stars on Hollywood’s biggest night. Her season seven castmate Amaya Espinal—who won alongside ex Bryan Arenales—stepped out for the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s annual viewing party, where she doled out advice for the singles searching for love on the Peacock dating series’ upcoming eighth season.

“Be yourself. Don't lose who you are,” Amaya exclusively told E! News at the March 15 bash. “There's going to be moments where it is tough because you're isolated for three months, but that's going to be a unique experience that you are going to grow from, and something that you probably will never experience again.”
As such, the 26-year-old encouraged her successors to soak up every minute they have in the villa, adding, “Be present.”
