    Celebrity Style: RIHANNA

    Okay, so the dresses are a tad bit skimpy, but we are loving Rihanna’s new sleeker style. Sure, she’s only made two public appearances with her new look, but both were incredibly chic.


    CC SKYE Love Me Knot Bangle Set
    CC SKYE Pave Golden Nugget Bracelet

    At the Grammy Awards, she walked the red carpet in a Giorgio Armani black halter gown, paired with shiny gold accessories. She is actually wearing a lot of jewellery but, because it’s all in one shade, it appears really minimal.


    NOIR Triple Cubic Zirconia Ring
    MELINDA MARIA Python Pave Ring

    The layering of multiple bangles and rings is really chic, making the ensemble modern and edgy. We’re thinking a combination of CC Skye, Noir, and Melinda Maria should do the trick — python is a must!


    BELLE NOEL Mini Dagger Necklace

    During London Fashion Week, Rihanna was a guest at Stella McCartney’s aftershow, wearing a dark teal Stella McCartney spaghetti strap gown. Again she brought gold accessories to spice things up, pairing not one but two gold chokers. We would probably just stick to one statement piece, like Belle Noel’s dagger necklace.

    We doubt she’ll be at the Oscars this weekend, but we are looking forward to seeing what she wears next!

  • RED CARPET: Hair Jewels at the Met Gala

    RED CARPET: Hair Jewels at the Met Gala


    Kate Hudson

    Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala is perhaps the best dressed red carpet event, more glamorous than the Oscars. Along with fabulous designer frocks, we noticed a major hair trend: sparkly accessories! Maybe it’s because everyone is still enamoured with the Royal Wedding but we’re not complaining. You know Sophie’s Closet loves hair jewellery!


    Supermodel Shalom Harlow

    Some of our favourites were Kate Hudson’s and Shalom Harlow’s little sparkly barrettes. For similar looks, check out pieces by Jennifer Behr and Ban.Do.


    Rashida Jones

    Of course, one could never go wrong with little headbands and tiaras. We think Rashida Jones’ piece looks so chic. We would go for our Louis Mariette ‘Amour’ headband or Jennifer Behr’s ‘Sabrina’.


    Jessica Alba

    Jessica Alba always looks gorgeous and her jewelled tiara just adds to her gorgeousness. Don’t have a tiara? Try securing your favourite bracelet or necklace to your chignon.


    Anna Dello Russo

    Of course, Vogue‘s Anna Dello Russo stole the show with an egg-shaped fascinator! It’s not the kind of look we would go for but we love it on Anna — she is fearless!

  • ON THE RED CARPET: The Golden Globes

    ON THE RED CARPET: The Golden Globes


    Scarlett Johansson wearing VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Private Collection;
    From Sophie’s Closet: JENNIFER BEHR Wing Pin Silver with Crystal (AED 420)

    Aren’t award shows the best? It’s always so much fun seeing the runway looks translated onto “real” people. This year, the Golden Globes red carpet was a great success: not too many disasters (OK, hello Helena Bonham Carter and Chrstina Aguilera!), many Old Hollywood glamorous looks (Catherine Zeta Jones, January Jones, Angelina Jolie) and many hip and modern young beauties (Emma Stone and Leighton Meester). But, at Sophie’s Closet, what we really look for is the jewels! And at these types of occasions, celebrities go all out! We are talking million dollar baubles. Well, we made them a bit easier to obtain by finding affordable alternatives from Sophie’s Closet.


    Scarlett Johansson wearing VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Private Collection;
    From Sophie’s Closet: CC SKYE
    Million Dollar Pave Bracelet (AED 1350)

    Hollywood bombshell Scarlet Johansson looked amazing in her Elie Saab dress topped with sparkling diamonds by Van Cleef & Arpels. One can achieve a similar look with our Jennifer Behr hair pin and sparkling CC Skye bracelet.


    Nicole Kidman wearing: FRED LEIGHTON;
    From Sophie’s Closet: SIMAN TU Smoky Quartz Chandelier Earrings (AED 1430)

    Nicole Kidman opted for long black chandelier earrings by Fred Leighton that are very similar to our Siman Tu’s.


    Catherine Zeta Jones wearing VAN CLEEF & ARPELS;
    From Sophie’s Closet: SHERMAN Vintage Chandelier Earrings (AED 1900)

    Catherine Zeta Jones channelled Old Hollywood glamour a la Elizabeth Taylor in her emerald green Monique Lhullier gown. Her beautiful dark brown hair down contrasted by diamond chandelier Van Cleef & Arpels earrings. Our vintage ones from Sherman are almost identical!


    Jennifer Lopez wearing HARRY WINSTON;
    From Sophie’s Closet: KENNETH JAY LANE Pearl Centre Flower Earrings (AED 690)

    Oh, Jennifer Lopez: she always has the sparkliest diamonds! Her Harry Winston flower earrings gave her a bit of a cuter look than her usual spicy Latina style. We like cute and that’s why we love our Kenneth Jay Lane floral pearl earrings. Jennifer would approve.


    Lea Michelle wearing LORRAINE SCHWARTZ;
    From Sophie’s Closet: KENNETH JAY LANE Crystal White Pearl Earrings (AED 550)

    Glee‘s Lea Michelle was a diva in pink Oscar de la Renta gown complete with a giant bow. She didn’t need much jewelry because it was such a big dress. Her little knotted Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings are definitely on the same page as our Kenneth Jay Lane crystal and pearl buds.


    Vanessa Williams wearing unknown earrings;
    From Sophie’s Closet: MELINDA MARIA “Gwyneth” Pave Chandelier Earrings (AED 1700)

    We are not quite sure what jewelry designer Vanessa Williams was wearing but we are in love! Notice how similar they look to Melinda Maria’s “Gwyneth” earrings?


    Julia Stiles wearing H. STERN;
    From Sophie’s Closet: BOUNKIT Sunburst flower Citrine (AED 1650)

    Julia Stiles is cute and so were her H.Stern yellow and white diamond earrings. Almost identical to Bounkit’s.


    Halle Berry wearing HARRY WINSTON;
    From Sophie’s Closet: LISA FREEDE Swarovski Wrap Bracelets (AED 570 each)

    Halle Berry was super sexy in her black sheer Nina Ricci dress. All eyes were on her gorgeous skin which is probably why she opted not to wear much else. Sparkly bracelets was all she needed.


    Claire Danes wearing FRED LEIGHTON;
    From Sophie’s Closet: LISA FREEDE Stackable Eternity Rings (AED 170)

    Claire Danes is a minimalist and we loved her simple Fred Leighton eternity ring. For the same minimal, but much cheaper look, we suggest Lisa Freede. Her Swarovski crystals could almost pass for diamonds!


    Christina Aguilera wearing LORRAINE SCHWARTZ;
    From Sophie’s Closet: JOOMI LIM Large Pretty Bijoux Ring (AED 490)

    We hated Christina’s dress, but once we saw a close-up of her hands, we were (almost) ready to forgive her. But, we actually think that our Joomi Lim is prettier.


    Sofía Vergara wearing DAVID WEBB;
    From Sophie’s Closet: RACHEL LEIGH “Gumball” Ring (AED 390)

    Hot Latina bombshell, Sophia Vergara, paired her bright red Vera Wang dress with a giant turquoise cocktail ring by David Webb. Clearly, this is a woman that loves colour! She would also look fab in our Rachel Leigh “Gumball” ring.

    How fun was that? See you at the Oscars!
