Her hair was a little, um, HUGE but it was a nice look over all. But her well fitting dress looked stylish and modern. She paired her gown with a huge pearl ring. This is a unique look and we’d expect no less from Drew Barrymore.

Kim Kardashian showed up on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards last night looking – well – hot. Her dress wasn’t may fav – it kind of reminded me of Madonna in Like a Virgin. But Kim pulled out all the stops in her accessories. Look at those shoes! Her jewelry was flawless and well suited for her fun and flirt ensemble.

Take a close look at Kim’s bling ring!

Kim matched her white dress with a stunning white diamond and pearl ring on her right index finger.

Freida Pinto, Penelope Cruz, Laura Linney, and Megan Fox were all spotted on the red carpet at the Golden Globes in beautiful shades of yellow. Freida Pinto looked fresh and fun in a earth yellow hued gown. I like the modern gathered look of her gown. However, the way it gathers at her hips doesn’t quite do it for me. I think it looks too relaxed and needs more tailoring to show off Frieda’s incredible figure. Frieda finishes her look with pearl and gold bracelets. Penelope Cruz looks wonderful in her yellow gold gown. I can’t say enough about her sexy and sophisticated look. It’s classic and well worth duplicating for yourself. Laura Linney also looks incredible! I love the draping of her gown. It’s soft and elegant. The waist is accents really show that you can look especially slim by highlighting the most narrow part of your body. Laura completes her outfit with a fabulous bracelet. Megan Fox looks like she does pilates every minute that she’s not on the red carpet. Seriously, that dress is so tight it looks like a second skin. I love the stacked gold bracelets and bangles though!

This 14K Gold 2 Strand Bracelet w/14K Gold Filigree Beads for $295 is a great accent for any ensemble. Elegant and striking, this gracefully curving bracelet of lustrous yellow gold symbolizes eternal love – making it a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift.

I’m staying up very late tonight to bring you the hottest fashions straight from the red carpet at the Golden Globe awards. There has been a parade of the latest styles on the red carpet tonight. It’s been a window on the fashion trends moving into 2009 and beyond.

One of the hottest trends we saw tonight at the Golden Globes was fabric in shades of gold. In this image Glenn Close, Christina Applegate, Jennifer Lopez, and Rachel Griffiths all shine in golden hues. Glenn Close looks sophisticated in the Mao jacket and pants. Christina’s bright gown looks festive and sunny. Jennifer Lopez looks sultry and sexy. Poor Rachel Griffiths looks wrinkled! Rachel’s gown doesn’t do anything to accent her shape and makes it seem as if she’s got something to hide. Whatchoo got up under that gown, Rachel? Literally she looks like she’s at a high class toga party. I do like the way her dress wraps together at the top but rather than looking sleek and chic, those wrinkles make the wrong impression. Maybe that’s why she looks so angry.

I know that with this small image it’s hard to see their jewels – I’ll get you more detailed shots soon. I am just trying to bring you the highlights as fast as I can.

So, I am kind of a traditionalist. I am really not for wearing white after Labor Day. Call me old fashioned! However, some climates lend themselves to wearing white for longer into the Fall and what about when you’re “down under” and the seasons are all backwards? There’s also winter white. A beautiful cream or off-white coat can be stunning in a crowd of drab black.

This creme colored dress by Nicole Miller is a take on the traditional wrap dress. The way this dress gathers is unique. It’s flattering up top and forgiving below – hiding some less than perfect parts. The fabric is light and smooth. The neutral color is a trend for Spring 09.

Eva Longoria Parker recently demonstrated a wide range of looks. Here she’s taking advantage of the summer weather in a creamy white gown. The fabric is puffed and wonderfully detailed. This is an exquisite and classy look.

I think the most fitting jewelry pairing for this look is a pearl. Eva’s dress reminded me of this 9-10mm Cultured Pearl and 1/3 Carat Diamond 14K White Gold Pendant. Feminine elegance exudes from this graceful pendant. An intricate design is beautifully rendered in gleaming white gold, studded with dazzling diamonds, and punctuated with a luminous drop-shaped cultured freshwater pearl.

Republican or Democrat, black or white, politician or… other politician, two things are certain this November. Someone will be elected President, and his wife will love pearls. Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain have very different styles, but both have been dressing up their campaign trail looks white the careful deployment of pearls. Michelle Obama’s unique yet classy personal style have earned her praise and comparisons to Jackie O, the premiere First Lady style icon of recent history, and it’s not hard to see why. Here, she uses layered strands of pearls with a faint color to create a look that’s attractive and individual without being overly showy. It’s an excellent and versatile choice of jewelry.

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.

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.
