It’s that glamorous time of year again in Nashville. Red carpets are rolled out and the stars are shining, preferably by some JB bling. Everyone looks to the fashion of the CMA Awards Red Carpet to inspire their festive attire for the hottest holiday parties this season. So this Wednesday, when you see what your favorite country crooners are wearing and you start thinking about the upcoming events on your social calendar, let us help you accessorize that evening wear! Here is a little Star Style Map to guide you to the right jewels for every gown…
Hillary Scott looked radiant at last year’s award show in a bold, red J Mendel gown with a fitted bodice and ruffled neckline. If you have a gown with such an elaborate detail, you dont want to take away from the neckline. Keep the earrings simple like our Rock Drop Flat Oval Earrings and draw attention to your wrists with something like this XSmall Dominique Bracelet in Garnet.
Carrie Underwood walked the red carpet in a metallic Talbot Runhof gown. A fun and frilly party dress like this one demands attention when you walk into the room. Accessorize with something just as demanding of attention, like one of our Rockstar Rings! (14k Gold-Filled and Ametrine stone shown above) Your instinct might be to wear a choker length necklace with a strapless gown, but I promise a giant cocktail rind and a cuff on the opposite wrist, like a 7 Stone Lots o Rocks Cuff, is much more surprising and alluring at the same time.
When the attention is on your back, like Sara Evans in this Twenty8Twelve mini, then all you need is an eye catching dazzler dangling from your ears like these Large Dominique Pendant Earrings in Black Spinel. If a backless holiday frock is on your mind, imagine these earrings, as you look over your shoulder, gaining favor from all the fellas in the room!
Miranda Lambert looked gorgeous in this Sherri Hill gown, but if you are interested in an off the shoulder dress for a more conservative event, perhaps a holiday party for work, there are ways to down-play the sexiness. One way to not appear as “naked” is to break up the amount of exposed skin with a statement necklace. The more simple the fabric and cut of the gown, the more elaborate the design of the necklace you can play with. This Elean Graduated Stone Necklace will enhance the elegance of an off the shoulder dress without drawing too much attention to the area.
We can’t wait to see what jewels glisten at this year’s show! And if you are still unsure how to accessorize your holiday party attire, just stop by the studio for additional styling tips!
