Drew Barrymore's Sexy Transformation

Drew Barrymore is an actress of many facades who was first labeled as a failed child star after her childhood flings with a range of narcotics but transformed herself into the respectable actress that she is now. Her onscreen roles have translated into her personal style as well.

She’s been a rebellious wild child (think Charlie’s Angels or her nude photo shoot for Interview Magazine when she was a ripe 17), uber-girly (think 50 First Dates or Never Been Kissed), or subtly simple but rarely has she given us ‘sexy’. She’s got this adorably cute face, you know, the one with pinch-worthy cheeks and pouty lips which makes it slightly harder to make a sexy impression.

But all of that changed this August and I’m not talking about plastic surgery. The 35 year old actress put the ZING in amazing for the August issue of Elle magazine, rocking a strapless black leather dress from the Calvin Klein collection that gave her a mature yet hot look on the front cover.

But all you Jewel River readers should know by now that black is always a safe bet when it comes to dressing for a night out. So how do you distinguish yourself from the 49 other women who decided to go raven as well? With some scintillating jewelry of course! It really is your bling that will make it or break it amongst the crowd for that one night fashion stand and Drew’s cuff bracelets did me in!

The Going the Distance actress wore wide mesh cuffs from Urstadt Swan that were not made of silver but stainless steel. First of all she earns some brownie points for wearing bold but delicate jewelry as opposed to her usual understated selections but the real medal should be given for her choice of material.

The popular trend this year is to ditch the familiar and go for the eclectic but that doesn’t mean you should let go of your diamonds & gold. It wouldn’t hurt (your wallet) though to try other materials every now and then. Although silver is shinier than stainless steel, the cuffs which hung chicly on her wrist could totally be worn on the red carpet.

If you think that you’re ready to take charge, hold the reins with both hands and go the real distance as a sexy femme fatale, then follow Drew Barrymore’s lead and get ready to reap the benefits.
