Jennifer Love Hewitt showed up to the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest wearing a pirate’s treasure in gold chains and coins. Her dress is cute, light, and airy but the jewelry is too big and heavy. Those earrings are just like big hula hoops dangling from her ears. They’re almost bigger than her head! There is just a style disconnect between the heavy jewelry and her lacy dress.

Don’t get me wrong - I love gold chains! I’ve picked out a few that will help you create a look that will catch any pirate’s eye!

The Devil Wears Prada star, Emily Blunt looks perfect in pink here on the runway with Daniel Sunjata. They make such a cute couple! Daniel was named one of People Magazine’s 50 most beautiful people in 2003. From the look of this picture, he hasn’t lost any of that appeal in the past couple of years! Hot!

I am loving Emily’s dress. It is classic and elegant. I think that she’s making a good choice by not wearing a necklace. The lace on the top of the neckline adds a lot of detail and the wrong necklace might take away from it. A classic diamond necklace worn higher up on the chest will work, but you’d have to be very careful. Also the dress is a unique color and it might be difficult to match a colored gem to it. Thank goodness there are diamonds!

For just a touch of color, this pink sapphire and diamond ring in 14K white gold is just the thing. A princess-cut pink sapphire is surrounded by a bed of diamonds. The square shape of this ring is a classy look that will match a well tailored dress like the one Emily is wearing.

Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child fame, is looking hot, hot, hot in her little red dress! What a perfect look for the Fourth of July! I mean, nothing’s more patriotic that firecracker red!

Geez!

In her outfit Kelly has accessorized with silver or white gold and diamonds. This was a great choice becuase it doesn’t take away from her silhouette in that fabulous red dress.
