Angelina Jolie Sets Russian Red Carpet On Fire

Angelina Jolie’s appearance at Moscow recently was like a pinch of ‘salt’ to spice up a dish. She was there to promote her latest thriller Salt in which she plays the role of a Russian spy. Angie pulled a rare 'Kristen Stewart' by donning a color other than black, the color of love, blood, passion & danger – RED.

Not surprisingly her fans devoured every bit of her while she stood like a queen in a red halter neck silk chiffon gown from Versace Atelier that hugged her slim tattooed body.

Perhaps the Tomb Raider actress checked up on the Moscow weather before touching down in the land of Vodka because it seemed like she took full advantage of the wind by letting her gown’s train and long hair flow radiantly in the zephyrs.

Asked about her training for the movie, she said she had to spend long hours practicing Russian, a language which she described as ‘soft and seductive’. Not far from her jewelry choice at the premiere I would say, comprising solely of a sparkling pair of subtle diamond earring studs, which didn’t steal the thunder of her siren-hot red attire but nevertheless it gave it a touch of sophistication.

Take a tip from Brad Pitt’s lady that whenever you want your couture to be the centre of attention, keep your other accessories to a minimum but at the same time it is imperative that you do not neglect wearing jewelry to make a statement such as a classy pair of diamond studs or a single bracelet.

Spies are notorious for hiding top secrets but I think we can excuse Angelina Jolie, just this one time, in the name of jewelry fashion of course!

MTV Movie Awards: A Whirlwind of Sexual Tension & Glitzy Jewelry

The MTV Movie Awards held in California had a lot of drama and sexual tension to offer this year, both on-screen as well as off-screen. I am still befuddled about what caught my attention more though. Was it the passionate lip lock that Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson shared after the former received the MTV Generation Award or was it the raunchy performance from Christina Aguilera and her team of erotically charged dancers for her song from her new album, Bionic OR was it the vigorous booty-smacking by Jennifer Lopez on an oversized Tom Cruise?

I would have to say the kiss from the divas ruled the roost but Christina’s red carpet fashion still needs mention anyhow. Her couture was completely over the top, just like her performance from later that night. She oozed with confidence though as she walked the red carpet in a very short Versace Atelier black number, with chain and feathery patterns, accessorized with Stephen Webster jewels and dramatic makeup including her favorite red lipstick.

Some would find her outfit futuristic, funky or downright freaky and it seemed like Christina filled the missing void of Lady Gaga that night. You can still look to the icon for jewelry inspiration though through her stylish, diamond encrusted belt. Belts are the perfect way to add a chic dash of color, texture or bling to any outfit and they help to give a feminine shape to a loose top or a long gown. They can be worn all over the torso, from just below the bust line to the waist or even worn low around the hips. Christina, the bionic diva certainly knew how to ‘bling’ it with her wild and powerful jewelry and you should definitely try a bejeweled belt as well to add that extra glitz & glamour to any outfit.

Get “carried” away with Sarah Jessica Parker

What is it about Sarah Jessica Parker that literally takes our breath away? It is as though she owns a secret stock of style that keeps oozing out of the lady which we lap up more than happily! It's been a busy two years for the fashion diva. Not only is she about to star, once again, as the beloved Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City 2, but she also became a mother again, adding twin girls to her family.

But this didn’t stop her from sporting a uniquely daring look at the 82^nd Academy Awards. The 45 year old starlet was rocking a butter-yellow silk Chanel gown with spectacular vintage jewels from Fred Leighton which included a pair of dazzling floral earrings and a moon-shaped cocktail diamond ring.

But the attention-grabbers were surely her armful of eclectic bracelets, featuring a 1950’s diamond swirl bracelet, cognac diamond flexible bracelet, rose-cut diamond bracelet in platinum and a diamond wave bangle. Whew! To top it off she added a personal touch to her wrist bling by adding a silvery-blue girly hair rubber band, taking the current trend of stacking to a whole new level. Apart from complimenting the silver embroidery on the neckline of her gown, these bracelets almost seemed to be tossing all the clichés out of the red carpet.

So don’t be afraid to experiment with stacking many bracelets & bangles of different textures. Combine wood, silver sterling and even your very own fabric rubber band to flaunt your personal style. If Sarah can pull it off so can you!
