A TV star, a country singer, and an Oscar winner reign in indigo hues
Leighton Meester
On Gossip Girl, she rules the Upper East Side; on the red carpet, Leighton Meester just plain rules. At the 14th Hollywood Awards, she pulled off a tulle (tulle!) Elie Saab number, accessorized with a wristful of bracelets from her favorite jeweler, Cathy Waterman.
Jennifer Nettles
Remember when “country” was synonymous with “sequins and cowboy boots”? Neither do we, thanks to stars like Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles, stunning at the 2010 CMA Awards in a Carolina Herrera gown and geode-and-sapphire Kimberly McDonald earrings.
Gwyneth Paltrow
How trendy is Gwyneth Paltrow? At the CMAs, the Oscar winner—who plays a crooner in her new film Country Strong—wore an antique brooch–turned–earring from London estate dealer S.J. Phillips, the first piece from a yet-to-be-completed collection. Yes, we said earring, singular.
