Even at the Golden Globes many noticed a lack of jewelry worn by many of the celebrities. Is this observation due to a new fashion trend or does it reflect our troubled economy?
Some experts are accounting this noticeable dearth of fine jewelry featured on the red carpet was directly related to scarcity of jewelry in the fine jewelry department. The jewelry industry has been severely hurt during this tough economical time and celebrities are now seeing the beginning of it.
Many celebrities featured wearing jewelry on premiere nights are on loan, and they are now being forced to get creative to still have their sparkle effect when they walk the red carpet. Designers are embellishing gowns with decorative beading and metallic fabrics to add that extra wow factor.
Take a look at Jennifer Lopez, who was featured at the Golden Globes wearing a sparkling strapless gown with no necklace or bracelet to accessorize with it: http://bit.ly/avPkKJ.
Goes to show we are not alone when Hollywood is forced to scale back too.
