The music artist Lady Gaga brilliantly shined at the Academy Awards 2019. The Shallow’ singer wore a rare diamond with a value of $30 million.

The legendary jewel is the Tiffany Yellow Diamond, which has around 128.54 carats and is one of the largest and most precious diamonds ever discovered. Accordingly to Reed Krakoff, the creative director of “Tiffany & Co.,” the diamond came to light 141 years ago. It seems that Lady Gaga is the first to wear this diamond after Audrey Hepburn and Mrs. E. Sheldon Whitehouse. The actress wore it half of century ago, in 1962 for the promo campaign of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” movie. Mrs. Sheldon E. Whitehouse wore it at the Tiffany Ball in 1957.

Lady Gaga lived on Sunday night, the biggest dream of any music artist.

The infamous singer won the Academy Trophy in the “Best Original Piece” category for the song “Shallow,” which is the soundtrack of the movie “A Star Is Born.”

Lady Gaga’s speech from the 2019 Oscars:

“To my sister, my soulmate, I love you. My family’s here, I love you, Mom and Dad. Bradley, there is not a single person on the planet that could’ve sung this song with me but you. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you so much. And if you are at home, and you’re sitting on your couch, and you’re watching this right now, all I have to say is that this is hard work. I’ve worked hard for a long time, and it’s not about, you know…it’s not about winning. But what it’s about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it. There’s a discipline for passion. And it’s not about how many times you get rejected, or you fall down, or you’re beaten up. It’s about how many times you stand up and are brave, and you keep on going. Thank you”

"It's not about winning," Lady Gaga says in tearful acceptance speech. "What it's about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it." https://t.co/XQU450bcno pic.twitter.com/eafdzUS1ns
