Who doesn’t love the annual award season? We for one mark our calendars for the big daddy of ‘em all — The Oscars!
Kudos to the winners but like any good fashion police, we’re concerned with who wore what and who looked hot. It was raining Armani and Harry Winston and we of course, lapped it all up. Props to Cate Blanchett for a continued elegant run and as for Mrs. Pitt, can the lady do any wrong? But as always, what we were most interested in was the jewellery. Subtle sophistication was clearly everyone’s mantra. We’re particularly digging the army of rings seen on Emma Watson and drop earrings as were endorsed by Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson and winner Cate Blanchett (in Chopard)! Charlize Theron’s $15 million Harry Winston necklace will be etched in our memory forever as will Naomi Watt’s breathtaking Bulgaris! 
But the more important question is, do you look at the television screen and wonder how to look uber-glamourous; with the perfect hair and make up, and strut through any party, or even the red carpet just like the stars? Here’s the good news. It really isn’t difficult. Just a few prep-ups and then shine away, princess! From elegant gowns, crop tops and tulle skirts (think Zooey Deschanel), a dash of glitter here, a hint of sparkle there and you’re all set! Keep it glamorous and definitely elegant. So you think elegant means boring? We say no! You’d rather be the poised lady than the risqué one who turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Be it a slit down your leg or a backless gown, don’t overdo it. For there must be more than what meets the eye, right? Once you’re all decked up, it’s time to go crazy (maybe a little!) with the make up. The key here is subtly. Don’t pair red lips with smokey eyes, or you will end up killing both. Pastel lip shades are the thing right now. And you simply mustn’t forget the kohl. As for hair, there is so much to choose from — braided updos, vintage curls, fierce buns — nothing is off the charts! And outfit without jewellery is like cake without icing, and who even likes that? Make sure to get the bling on. Huge rocks on the fingers, sparkling danglers, gemstone drops, stacked bracelets (not all at once, of course), and you are ready to shine, quite literally. Go ahead and frost it! Be your own Emma Watson or J-Law and glam it up! Image credit: Luxpresso.com and Vogue.co.uk
