And THANK GOD I am not in LA covering it. I did talk to my favorite celebrity jeweler Neil Lane about what to expect coming down the red carpet. This is what he had to say:

What we are going to see: “It’s all about the ‘power jewel’ this season” says Lane. You are going to see people one really great, iconic piece as opposed to over layering.”

On the value of having celebrities wear his jewels: “Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Drew Barrymore are the prettiest women in the world, so when they wear your jewels, you are going to see an increase in sales. One year Gwyneth Paltrow wore a McQueen dress with a black diamond necklace. The whole look was very dark and smoldering. Right after she was on the red carpet, I had a client from Indiana asking to buy that exact piece!”

Neil Lane will be adorning Jessica Alba, Jennifer Hudson, Julie Christie and Reese Witherspoon (for the parties) in his fabulous jewels!!

I swear she looked better in person.

This picture does not do Jennifer Lopez justice. When I interviewed her at the Marchesa presentation on Wednesday, she did look big (hello, she’s having twins) but this Marchesa dress made her look luminescent and was way more A-line than it looks in this picture. She was flanked by her publicist, husband, Harvey Weinstein and designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig. I overheard her saying she “feels good.” I also overheard her tell Weinstein she is due in two weeks!!

A creative way to do Golden Globes fashion coverage.

(According to People.com, these are two dresses Julia Roberts may have worn to the Golden Globes. The one on the left is Valentino, the one on the right is by Oscar de la Renta.)

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past month, you know tonight’s Golden Globes ceremony has been canceled due to the writer’s strike. Boo. BUT, someone alerted me to this totally funny piece People.com did entitled “Golden Globes: The Dresses We Wish We’d Seen.” I LOVE IT. If you can’t actually COVER what the celebs are wearing on the red carpet, why not speculate what they might wear?? According to the People Magazine writers, Julia Roberts would wear something classic like a basic black, bias cut dress by Oscar de la Renta or Valentino. Keira Knightley would wear an ethereal piece by Chanel (naturally, she is the face of Chanel) or Rodarte.
