    ICONIC IDOL: Grace Kelly

    Cannes Film Festival, 1955 is where it all began, when Hollywood’s golden girl captured Prince Rainer of Monaco’s heart. A year later, she was no longer just a movie star known for her beauty and elegance, but a princess at the age of 26.

    “The Grace Kelly Look” became popular when renowned costume designers like Edith Head and Helen Rose created dazzling yet chic, lady-like outfits for her.

    Thirty years since her passing, Princess Grace Kelly is still regarded as one of the most stylish silver screen fashion icons. Below are a few of her most memorable iconic looks…

    This year’s winners were the ever-beautiful Cate Blanchett who picked up a ‘Best Actress’ Oscar for her role in Blue Jasmine, plus she looked remarkably mesmerizing in a nude Armani Prive embellished pearl and sequin gown teamed with a pair of large diamond pendant-style earrings.

    Kenyan actor, Lupita Nyong’o won an Oscar for her film debut as ‘Best Supporting Actress’ in 12 Years a Slave. Her full pleated powder blue Prada gown glistened as she twirled and was offset by a turquoise ring, gold bangles, silver statement stud earrings and an oh-so-chic crystal headband. Get her look with our luscious new arrivals at SOPHIESCLOSET.COM.

    Here are other key jewelry looks that we’re a little in love with after reviewing this year’s Oscars outfits:

    All About Ear Cuffs – On Sunday we saw the most exquisite ear cuffs around. Elegant, edgy ear cuffs enhanced the outfits of Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway and Lupita Nyong’o. The way to wear the new ear cuff subtle styles is to just cover the base of the ear lobes, ensuring instant sparkle and shimmer with a modern edge.

    Paris Haute Couture Week, Spring 2014: Nature’s Beauties

    Beautiful Butterflies

    A recurring theme at the Spring 2014 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week was the butterfly trend.  Beautifully symmetrical, covered in vibrant colors and delicate and decorative, we can see why Valentino and Jean Paul Gaultier based their latest designs on these interesting insects. Valentino’s Spring 2014 couture collection comprised truly beautiful butterfly embellished jackets and feminine, floaty butterfly adorned evening gowns. Jean Paul Gaultier also opted for elaborate butterfly headpieces and butterfly silhouettes. This really is luxurious designer, high-end fashion that’s exquisite and on-trend for the warmer seasons ahead.

    Fabulous Florals

    Elie Saab and Yulia Yanina took inspiration for their Spring 2014 Haute Couture Collections from the timeless trend, fabulous florals. Flowers were integrated into lace and painted onto Elie Saab’s stunning gowns. We predict a few of his desirable dresses will be making an appearance on the red carpet at this year’s 2014 Oscars! If you are looking for a slightly more subtle approach to wearing flowers, try Miriam Haskell‘s classic intricate pearl earrings, Ciner’s pearl flower earrings or other pearl jewelry pieces – we think they would work wonderfully with Elie Saab’s collection too.

We say wear this Spring / Summer ’14 runway trend with either a floral inspired headband, a Jennifer Behr Large Crystal Brooch Headwrap or team simple studs with your bold, statement floral printed dresses to perfectly complement this stand-out theme.
