It’s time to slip into more appropriate attire for the new season. But wait, before you swap your winter coat for a light jacket, we aren't talking about the transition into spring. It’s time to adorn your ball gown and your sharpest suit for award ceremony season.
While award ceremonies were first introduced to commemorate the talent and hard work of the artists who had been nominated, they have become equally synonymous for their displays of high fashion and style. Every year, hundreds of onlookers gather to view the magnificently-dressed stars gracing the glamourous red carpet. Nowadays, fashion has become even more influential and the celebrities spend just as much time on choosing the perfect red carpet outfit as they do on their acceptance speeches.
Of course, no outfit would be complete without the ever-important accessories - we all know that the right piece of jewellery or luxury watch has the power to entirely transform an outfit. With so many red carpet events on the horizon, we couldn’t think of a better time to showcase some of our most glamorous pieces and tips to put together your own Hollywood red carpet look.
Green with envy
If there is one stone which is bound to evoke envy in others, it is the emerald. Worn by musical royalty such as the likes of Beyonce and Taylor Swift on the red carpet of the Grammy Awards earlier this month, this classic gem shone with true majestic quality.
Renowned for its entrancing hypnotic beauty, an emerald has always been a colour synonymous with luxury and grace. It can be worn either as the centrepiece of a long beautiful silver chain or nestled in between white diamonds, such as these beautiful emerald stud earrings, to bring out the true ethereal quality of the green gemstone. It truly is a show-stopping piece of jewellery that’s perfect for the red carpet.
Timeless style
As a brand that has created its own award ceremony, a Rolex watch is the obvious choice for flawless red carpet attire. The Rolex brand has been worn by adventurers, celebrities and famous sportsmen throughout history, which makes it much more than just a lucky charm, but a true symbol of success.
A Rolex DateJust, such as this one, is the ideal accessory to carry off a gentleman’s red carpet look. The classic stainless steel exterior and linked bracelet will stand out sublimely next to a black dinner suit, while the defining Roman numerals add the ultimate sophisticated feel that the red carpet requires.
Diamonds are a red carpet’s best friend
Unsurprisingly, diamonds steal the show time and time again at red carpet events. With their sublime quality, they have the power to instantly add glamour to any attire, which may be why they have remained the darling of the jewellery world for hundreds of years.
Less is more when it comes to accessorising with diamonds. Rihanna shed light on an all-black jumpsuit with a breath-taking 81.88 carat platinum set diamond necklace during her performance on stage at this year’s Grammy Awards. Others may favour diamond drop earrings such as this beautiful pair of 18ct white gold earrings, as the sparkle of the bright diamond accentuates your smile while adding an air of timeless sophistication to the overall look.
A hint of sparkle
To achieve a first-class red carpet look you simply must have an elegant set of cufflinks. These stunning yellow gold, diamond encrusted cufflinks are the perfect infusion of Hollywood style and will add a touch of glamour to any suit. Even if your performance didn’t dazzle the judges, your cufflinks certainly will.
