Arianne January 8, 2017January 8, 2017Leave a Comment

The 2017 Golden Globes were full of hilarious skits, inspiring speeches and of course stunning, voguish fashion! We are completely living for Naomi Campbell’s Versace gown as well as Kerry Washington’s drop dead gorgeous lip color. Did you see it? Two words: vampy paradise. Nevertheless, on the Gram we have also been receiving tons of DMs asking us about all the ladies and their killer looks. No worries we got you and we will be recapping everything in our upcoming posts. However, one trend of the night that can not be overlooked has to do with the accessory department. The 2017 Golden Globes Fashion Trend: Dramatic Rings.

2017 Golden Globes Fashion Trend: Dramatic Rings

Lawd, diamonds truly are a girl’s best friend! The women represented and hit the red carpet in major bling bling that left us more frozen than the ice caps. Golden Globe winner, Tracee Ellis Ross dazzled in the “Venom Chadonne” and “Roaq” collection rings by Idezen.

Simone Biles who recently showed off all the Olympic gold she won in order to shut down the haters, gave them even more to talk about tonight! The petite beauty stopped by Charlie Lapson jewels to pick up a few dramatic ring selections. She settled on two rings, earrings and a bracelet all with diamonds set in gold. BOMB!

Insecure’s Issa Rae got in on the 2017 Golden Globes fashion trend with dramatic rings by Idezen. Stacking rings have been huge in the jewelry world along with humongous styles that cover a lot of finger length real estate. Issa’s gorgeous gems included the ‘Caterpillar’ ring.

Lastly, we want to quickly spotlight the always lovely Regina Hall. Jewelers, Idezen, certainly had a busy night loaning out styles to Ross, Rae as well as Hall. Regina sparkled in Idezen’s ‘Fierce Butterfly’ Ring and Puri Di Cuore Collection. All beautiful choices on equally beautiful women!
