Borrowed Jewelry: The Bulgari Serpenti Necklace

My favorite look from last Sunday's Golden Globes was Naomi Watts.

She looked like a movie star.  

Everyone else was a tad Vegas for me.  I have not seen so many sequins and flash in a long time.

She also wore (in case you did not notice : ) a Bugari Serpenti diamond necklace.  It is ahhh-mazing!

Who was her dress by?  Who cares!  It was a great shade of yellow, looked wonderful on her but it was all about the necklace.  But not totally.  It was the complete package.  She looked perfect and everything worked together.

She has worn the Serpenti necklace before.

You can not quite tell it is the same necklace until she turns around...

and Bulgari and Naomi added an extra pear shaped diamond...

I hope she buys the necklace - it really suits her.  I love that she has worn it more then once.  That is style.

At the recent Bulgari store opening in Hong Kong the Taiwanese actress, Shu Qi, wore the same or a similar necklace...

but it does not have the same effect.  Naomi wore it like she owned it, not borrowed it.

Even some bunnies have borrowed the Bulgari Serpenti necklace : )

but they looked like they owned it too!

Cocktail Dress for an Angel

Some of you may have seen Naomi Watts at the Costume Institute Gala wearing a white crystal pleated Thierry Mugler gown inspired by an archive piece. She is the new face for the Angel fragrance and looked very glamorous.

Here is the actual archive piece! RARE vintage has the Marilyn Monroe-style cocktail version which means it is a great wearable piece and is perfect for all sorts of summer parties and weddings. It is also dead stock which does not necessarily get us at RARE vintage so excited - we like to think about all of the fun, wonderful evenings our dresses have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy. But if you get excited by dead stock, here it is. The dress is beautifully made with couture like details. And if you have ever pondered piercing, this dress comes with its own piercing inspired detail! The original price was $4070 in the early 1990s!! Now that price is not so out of the ordinary but back then it was a pretty penny. But a good investment! Size 38 (US 4/6).
