Super mom/model/mogul Heidi Klum earns our Style Seen Daily pick for most amazing jewelry spotted on the red carpet so far this year. Above she is pictured in blackened platinum earrings that are absolutely breathtaking on her and frame her face perfectly. Take a cue from Heidi, don’t be afraid to wear big jewelry and lots of it.
SSD friend, and jewelry expert Michael O’Conner, loaned Heidi these amazing earrings for her to wear at the Oscars. He also loaned jewelry to Natalie Portman, Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet to name drop just a few (these ladies also looked amazing and you can find out exactly where their jewelry came from in our SSD slide show). Now he is disclosing to our SSD readers what he’s heard from today’s hottest A-listers about red carpet sparkle.
“This year, celebrities draw inspiration from the timeless Hollywood icons of the 1930s depression era to bring a unique combination of understated elegance to the red carpet. The hottest styles are classic vintage and art deco Platinum pieces that are as sophisticated today as they will be tomorrow.”
Elegance & Sophistication
Understated elegance rule the red carpet with celebrities choosing to accentuate one area while downplaying others. “We’re likely to see high quality Platinum pieces that have both intrinsic value and long-term durability such as vintage necklaces and bracelets that have the ability to go with every style and color choice,” comments O’Connor.

Mix and Match
“A newer trend is mixed and matched jewelry styles. Look for unique pairings such as a luxurious statement piece like a platinum and diamond bib necklace paired with simple Platinum and diamond stud earrings,” says O’Connor.
One is Never Enough
Whether they are simple Platinum bangles or chunky Platinum and diamond cuffs, one is never enough.
“Stacked bracelets piled on, is a popular trend. Some celebrities choose to forgo large earrings and necklaces, making bracelets the focus of their red carpet look,” expresses O’Connor.
Colorful Glamour
From Platinum and turquoise oversized earrings to sparkling ruby cocktail rings, “colorful Platinum and gemstone jewelry will be noticeable on the red carpet. Celebrities use bright colors to stand out on the red carpet and enhance their gowns,“ O’Connor comments.
