good taste noted by Hollywood

Oscars are exciting. Because I had only seen two of the nominated movies and desperately needed a productive Sunday evening, the red carpet fashion was my focus. My eye's prize? The bling, duh. Neil Lane is the supplier for much of the adornments seen last night on the likes of Mila Kunis, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Barry, and Jennifer Hudson. An excerpt from his interview with the Examiner:

“You have to own the look – you have to wear the jewelry, not let the jewelry wear you – that’s the real secret to looking glamorous,   and the women who wear my jewelry, they have that secret  ,” says  Lane. He goes on to say that while jewelry does have to be beautiful, it also has to reflect the personality of  the woman wearing it – and that, he says, is the real key to getting that glamorous, polished look.

“It’s really more about confidence than it is about style – how well the actress carries off the look is how glamorous the jewelry is going to come off looking – I’ve been lucky in that all of the women who have worn my jewelry have had that confidence – they make the jewelry look good,  not the other way around,” says Lane.

Couldn't agree more.  It's just as much about how the piece is worn and how it magnifies the person wearing it as it is the design itself.

According to Entertainment Weekly's The Best and Worst of Style, these three ladies were all given A+. Congratulations, Mr Lane.
