Style expert predicts statement accessories at the Academy Awards
We know there will be some gorgeous gowns at the Academy Awards on Sunday. But what about the accessories?
Will they be subtle or in-you-face? Colorful gems or diamond bling?
Style expert Michael O’Connor will host StyleLab’s styling event for Academy Award nominees, presenters and stylists at a private venue in Los Angeles. He has pulled together a selection of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces from world-renowned designers for celebrities to borrow for the red carpet.
O’Connor sees an overall fascination with statement accessories this year. Here are his predictions:
Bold Colored Gems
Bright and vibrant colored gemstones that were big in past decades including pink, blue, orange and green, will make a resurgence. Gems will be large and accented with diamonds. One stunning suite chosen from the American Gem Trade Association is a 130-carat multicolored spinel necklace with a matching pair of 33-carat earrings from Somewhere In The Rainbow’s collection. And who could resist a pair of 30.07-carat sapphire earrings set in platinum from Shaftel Diamond Co.? Tanzanite and diamond earrings from Takat Jewels will also be a popular choice on the red carpet.
