When viewing red carpet footage from this year’s Academy Awards, there were definite stand-outs: Anne Hathaway looking dapper—if that’s possible for a woman—in a chic tuxedo, Michelle Williams—stunning in a sheer beaded gown, and of course there was best-dressed mega-winner Natalie Portman sporting a pregnant glow while “cleaning up“ in a number of categories.
I do love Oscar fashion, but it usually comes with an Oscar price tag, so imagine my elation when I stumbled upon these fabulous earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane available at Max and Chloe. They are dead-ringers for the much talked about emerald pair worn by Angelina Jolie at the 2009 awards, and with a price tag of only $150, these statement-makers are both beautiful and inexpensive.
Although the earrings are definitely red carpet appropriate, they would also be lovely paired with a black cocktail dress for a less formal occasion. For the best look, choose a dress with a simple neckline—strapless, boat-neck, and v-neck cuts all work especially well with teardrop earrings. As with most elaborate jewelry, little else is necessary, just add a glamorous clutch and you’re good to go.
