On the Red Carpet With Blue Angels Leighton Meester, Gwyneth Paltrow & Jennifer Nettles



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.
