Vanessa Williams while an amazingly beautiful woman has some serious fashion issues. This dress is more proof of that. I actually tried to be nice when I described it - and was hard pressed to come up with anything. It’s awful. It’s fun and flirty but not for a woman that looks as mature as Vanessa. I mean, she’s not old - she’s just a WOMAN - not some girl. Plus that big floppy bow makes her look like some kind of beat down birthday present. The best thing to do to fix this outfit would be to burn it. BURN IT!

At least her earrings are great! You can go wrong with diamond dangles!

Angelina Jolie is pretty and fertile. I get it. Am I the only person who feels like her most recent pregnancy has gone on for about two years? She’s already adopted five or six children from poor, war-torn countries, which is certainly noble and everything, and now she’s making her own, and I am tired of reading about it. Every tabloid runs a feature about her imminent new baby every single issue, to the point where I feel like a midwife. I’m also afraid of what they’ll name this one, after they named the last one Shiloh. Shiloh was a terrible, bloody battle, so if they continue the theme, look for little Guadalcanal or Stalingrad or Khe Sahn in a few weeks. Ugh.

Didn’t she used to make movies? Don’t you miss that Angelina? Three years ago she was running around being sexy and a huge box-office draw, and that was just… so much more fun! Look at her here. She looks beyond fierce. She’s wearing minimal makeup and simple jewelry and looks insanely glamorous. In this picture, you can totally see why she’s a star. She’s chosen simple earrings with a hint of color and a LOT of sparkle, guaranteed to draw attention to her face, not away from it. You can get the same effect with these aquamarine and diamond white gold earrings. Large, trillion-cut aquamarines sparkle out of a semi-bezel setting, enhanced with three small diamonds for even more sparkle. These earrings are sure to make you look and feel like a star - but at $235, don’t require a Hollywood budget.

Reba McEntire looks great here in a shimmery royal blue dress. This simple design look great on Reba because she is so skinny. Notice how the fabric follows the curves of her body. For skinny Reba, this fabric gives her more curves. If you already have enough curves of your own, this type of dress is not for you. All you redheads though - take notice! Reba really knows how to work her coloring…the fair skin and red hair. If you have red hair, take a cue from Reba and you’ll look great!

Reba has paired her dress with a simple diamond pendant. Because her dress is a simple cut, the jewelry adds some needed sparkle.
If you’re looking for something will a little more color and umph than an all diamond pendant, this 2 Carat Sapphire and Diamond 14K White Gold Pendant is a great choice. For just $695, this pendant dazzles with deep blue sapphires beautifully accented by dazzling white diamonds. This unique setting of lustrous 14K white gold features graceful lines and superb craftsmanship.

This exquisite pendant is a true masterpiece!

Newsday put it best in their header: “Kill Bill star ready to take another stab at marriage.” Stab. Get it? Anyway, apparently Uma Thurman is again engaged - this time to alleged millionaire and person-I’ve-never-heard-of, Arpad Busson. Reports indicate that he gave her an enormous rock, surrounded by a number of slightly smaller rocks. He’s already classier than that unwashed Ethan Hawke. There was always something kind of… “too artistic to wear deodorant” about Ethan Hawke, and I thought Uma deserved better. Here’s hoping Arpad won’t run off with maid or make a terrible movie version of “Hamlet.”

I wonder if Arpad bought her these earrings? (I love his name. Arpad. I don’t know how to say it.) They’re gorgeous. It can be difficult to find something that looks fancy and glamorous that isn’t cluttered or “too much,” but these earrings pull it off, and they look great with her up-do. You can get a similar look with these white and pink gold and diamond circle earrings. Circles of diamond-studded white gold sparkle around an inner loop of feminine, elegant pink gold. These are the perfect earrings for any gala evening, and yours for only $295!

Musician Jewel was awash on the red carpet recently in colors of the Sun! Check out that BRIGHT dress! Goodness! She looks great though - the color is perfect for summer!

The perfect gem for summer looks is citrine. It’s fresh yellow reminds me of a sunset on the beach. Citrine doesn’t have the formality of diamonds, so it’s easy to dress up or down. Inspired by Jewel’s citrine jewels, I found this pair of 18K Gold Over Sterling Silver Citrine Hoop Earrings by Andrea Barna. Before you get all upset, I am not even suggesting that you wear these kinds of earrings with the style of dress Jewel is wearing - that just wouldn’t work. These lovely earrings however feature citrine and a style that is perfect for summer!


These earrings are just $175 and feature warm 18k yellow gold over sterling silver. The citrine gemstone details are radiant.

Actress Eva Longoria waves as she arrives to the opening night ceremony and the premiere of the film “Blindness,” at the 61st International film festival in Cannes, southern France. She looks marvelous in her bright teal gown. The fitted dress shows off her figure while the puckered and tucked fabric hides any less that flattering bits.

She looks like a million bucks in part because she’s wearing millions of dollars worth of diamonds. It’s hard to get that look on ANY budget. The bling Eva is wearing is probably borrowed for the occasion and the bodyguard is just out of view. You won’t have to worry about all that mess when you buy my budget-minding selections.

These 1/4 Carat Diamond 14K White Gold Earrings By Dalumi are just $395. They offer a lot of sparkle for just a little bit of money.

Sharon Stone is in the celebrity dog house for her recent controversial comments however, that doesn’t diminish the fact that she has a unique personal style. From her famous Gap t-shirt appearance to this flowing breezy gown, Sharon Stone makes her own fashion rules. To me this dress reminds me of a leopard print or the center of a tiger lily.

A wonderful accessory for Sharon’s dress would be these 10 5/8 Carat Tiger Eye and Diamond 14K Two Tone Gold Earrings. Perfect for summer, these earrings are just $225. The exquisite blend of earthy tiger’s eye and sparkling diamonds is beautifully showcased in these artistic earrings.

Country music star and former Miss California Jennifer Hanson recently worked the red carpet in dangly teardrop earrings. With her hair up, the large earrings made for a dramatic look. If you’re going to a special event like a dance (I know prom is over - but there’s always next year!) or something else really fun, you should get a pair of teardrop earrings.

At just $195, these 14 3/8 Carat Green Quartz 14K Yellow Gold Earrings are perfect for your next special occasion. The light green color would work really well with spring and summer looks but could be great year round too. Sleek and significant, these earrings showcase spectacular marquise shaped green quartz stones. The simple 14K yellow gold setting, complete with shepherd hook drop, is a perfect backdrop to such a lovely stone.

Kim Cattrall is sultry on the red carpet for the premier of the weekend’s biggest hit - the screen version of Sex and the City. This Vivienne Westwood strapless dress is perfect for this vixen. She looks sleek, stylish, and H-O-T!

Foregoing a necklace was a good choice for this dress. The elegant ribbon detailing in the bodice is enough. Plus it let’s Kim’s, um, natural assets take center stage.

Kim’s earrings are nice, but these 1 1/4 Carat Diamond and 9-10mm Tahitian Cultured Pearl Earrings in 14K White Gold would be perfect too. These earrings feature black Tahitian cultured pearls which are beloved for their rarity and for their dusky luminescence. The pearls are gracefully suspended from a sleek white gold setting studded with sparkling diamonds. This is a true Hollywood look!

Canadian Autumn Kelly, left, is seen arriving at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, England for her marriage to Peter Phillips, the eldest grandson of Queen Elizabeth II. Sister to the bridegroom, Zara Phillips, is seen on the right. Is it me or does she have a weird tan line? The private wedding took place in front of 300 guests including the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles.

Now take another look at the bridesmaid in the lovely sage dress. I love that look for a wedding. The sage color is perfect for a spring or summer wedding. Look closely and you’ll see that the bridesmaids wore pearl earrings with their dresses. Pearl earrings are the perfect accent jewelry for weddings. Diamonds often seem like too much. However the soft femininity of pearls make them a wedding classic.

Get the same royal look with these Akoya cultured pearl earrings: 9-9.5mm. These earrings are on sale now for the amazing price of just $30 - half off the regular price!

French actress and icon Catherine Deneuve waves as she leaves following the premiere of the film “Un Conte de Noel” during the 61st International film festival in Cannes, France. What a character! You have to have a ton of presence and personality to pull off that dramatic look with all that turquoise! Catherine does it though with style and class. What’s more is that turquoise is back in! We’ve seen several stars recently wearing this classic gem.

>There is a casual air to turquoise but Catherine Deneuve definitely looks classy with the formal design she’s wearing.

It features an impressive and brilliant turquoise stone that is embraced by 14k yellow gold and detailed with diamonds.

Country star Miranda Lambert hit the red carpet recently in gold and turquoise. She looks a little like a Versace shower curtain, but that’s ok. I just wish her heals were so clunky. That boxy look isn’t very elegant.

If you want to get Miranda Lambert’s look you’ve gotta try these 18K Gold Over Sterling Silver Turquoise Earrings by Andrea Barna! They’re at a great price - just $150.
