The red carpet was full of classic, old hollywood glamour, with not too many ‘what was she thinking?’ moments. The big trends that stood out for me amongst the many beautiful looks were statement earrings and diamond cuffs galore in many shapes, sizes and colours. My top picks are the four lovely ladies at left. Each proving that a little ear and wrist candy can go a long way.

Gwenyth Paltrow stood out for me in the coloured stone category with her extra-large, cabochon, Fire Phoenix earrings. Valued at $425K, they definitely made an impression and were the perfect accent to her elegant, pale pink gown. Reese Witherspoon wowed in diamond cluster studs that seemed to take up almost half of her ear. They were classic, sparkly and elegant, a perfect fit for her timeless and simple look.

Marion Cotillards diamond hoop earrings take the cake for the boldest statement. You could not miss those beauties brilliantly shining down the red carpet. The design so unique and the detail so intricate, she couldn’t have chosen anything better. And if you didn’t look close, you might have missed the amazing, contemporary diamond cuffs thatEmma Stone was rocking. They were adorned with rose cut diamonds and set in a mix of 18k yellow and white gold and when the price says, available upon request, you know they are something special.

Overall, a night of stars, sparkle, and shine, that kept my inner fashionista fulfilled. Stay tuned for my jewellery picks inspired by these looks that will have you looking like a star without breaking the bank! http://www.freemasonmart.com/
