Cuffs sparkle at the Oscars
2008 was a blingin' year for jewelry on the Oscars red carpet. Conservative gowns and understated hair meant that the fashion drama of the evening was concentrated in the jewels, with many actresses opting for large, diamond-encrusted cuffs, the kind even Mr. T would have approved of.Tilda Swinton's huge Damiani Diamond Sahara Cuff, featuring 1865 Diamonds, was a show-stealer, with Renée Zellweger's Cartier 1930's Art Deco diamond bracelet ($563,000) and 1926 priceless diamond strap bracelet also adding some major sparkle to the red carpet.
Heidi Klum sported a ruby and pink diamond wrist cuff from her "Heidi Klum Collection for Mouawad" collection. Set in 18k rose gold, the cuff alone was worth a quarter of a million dollars.
Other cuffers included Amy Ryan, Olivia Thirlby, Tia Carrere, Lisa Rinna, Hilary Swank, and Jennifer Garner.
Sassy, wearable, and glamorous, this is one red carpet trend that might actually stick.
Oscar accessories rundown:
Nicole Kidman: diamond Sautoir necklace by L'Wren Scott
Marion Cotillard: Chopard's 64-carat champagne-diamond necklace
