Blake Lively attended the Super Bowl in nearly half a million dollars worth of jewelry

• Blake Lively attended the 2024 Super Bowl with Taylor Swift on Sunday.

• She wore a Balenciaga x Adidas tracksuit with dozens of Tiffany & Co. pieces.

• Her accessories alone have a combined retail value of $496,075.

Tickets for the 2024 Super Bowl cost thousands of dollars this year, up to $196,875 per person.

But the jewelry that Blake Lively wore to Sunday's game cost more than double that amount.

The "Gossip Girl" star was photographed in a suite next to her close friend and superstar Taylor Swift during the game.

She sported a red-and-white tracksuit from the Adidas and Balenciaga collaboration and accessorized with over a dozen pieces of silver and gold jewelry.

The latter part of her outfit, as one jewelry fan pointed out on TikTok, had a combined retail value of $496,075.

Lively wore three statement necklaces, which totaled $158,500.

She wore an $18,500 gauge-link chain necklace in 18k gold, a $62,000 gauge-link choker in 18k yellow gold, and a $78,000 link necklace crafted from 18k rose gold and pavé diamonds.

Her metallic bracelets — all 14 of them — were equally showstopping.

Lively wore a mix of link bracelets and chunky bangles, with the most expensive costing $54,000. In total, her bracelets cost $331,925.

And finally, there were Lively's earrings: a solitaire diamond pair that retails for $1,650 and the designer's $4,000 Elsa Peretti snake-shaped earrings.

If it's not clear just how expensive Lively's Super Bowl jewelry was, let's put it this way.

Usher was paid about $671 for his halftime performance (not including additional earnings he received for rehearsals, advertisements, and other Super Bowl-related jobs).

So, if Lively's jewelry costs over $496,000, that means she could have spent nearly 740 times the amount that Usher earned for his massive performance.

In the words of Swift, Lively really did make the whole place shimmer.
