January is a bleak time of year for us mortals, but for Hollywood’s brightest it’s a non-stop merry-go-round of awards shows. What’s lesson number 1,458 from the red carpet, you ask? Balance is key - and yesterday’s example came from Jennifer Lopez at the SAG Awards in LA. The Hustlers actor wore a supremely understated black gown by Georges Hobeika, but went big in the jewels department, with $9 million worth of diamonds to be precise.
Yes, you read that right. J.Lo wore enough diamonds to buy a Beverly Hills mansion - and probably a beach hut in Bora Bora. The jewels in question were from Harry Winston, and included bracelets on each wrist, rings on both hands, pendant earrings, and a collar necklace dripping with pear-shaped diamonds. Wowza.
Other notables in the field of statement jewellery included Margot Robbie, with her chain-link Chanel necklaces, Cynthia Erivo, who wore a choker of Roberto Coin diamonds that snaked down her back, and Lupita Nyong’o’s modern take on the classic chandelier earring.
