Lea Black Sounds Off
Real Housewives of Miami star Lea Black knows a thing or two about bling. Lucky for us, the jewelry connoisseur is sharing her thoughts on the brightest jewelry pieces from the 2017 Oscars. Keep clicking through to hear her real and hilarious thoughts on the most memorable looks.
Taraji P. Henson
"Gorgeous! It fit the lines of the dress perfectly. Loved that many of the stones were substantial—not all tiny or pave. The pear-shaped drops on the outer outline of the design gave it a sophisticated touch. Loved the hair, looks like she has a sex life, just finished a sexy romp in a glamorous silk sheet bed, selectively tussled and seductively fabulous."
Charlize Theron
"Show stopper! The most elegant, sophisticated, grand jewelry statement of the night. These Chopard over the top diamond earrings are the perfect scale top to bottom. Very white, 'clean,' high quality diamonds. She wore them well. Regal, royal, elegant, grand and breathtaking."
Nicole Kidman
"Ho-hum—nice earrings for a dinner party…"
Kirsten Dunst
"I like the choker abstract design. It has a flair and organic design element to it. Would have liked to see a set of earrings with a more complimentary design. Something simple but with similar movement. Her hair was a mess. Make up mixed the mark. The eyes were too severe."
Karlie Kloss
"Attractively uncomfortable—a total miss. It is a nice piece, but not for that dress or that hair. The piece needed a low cut backless V-neck dress, a long neck, hair tied up and a tall actress to really showcase the piece. A choker that looks like it is choking her."
Ruth Negga
"Love the ACLU blue ribbon acknowledgment and statement but for my taste, I would have had a smaller blue ribbon made in pave sapphires to step it up a notch. I also would have pinned the ribbon higher off the shoulder to the right to make more of a discreet statement. It looks unbalanced and out of place. The ruby tiara headband was a nice touch, different. One needs to have a lot of confidence to wear jeweled hairpieces."
Dakota Johnson
"Stunning necklace! One of the most gorgeous jewelry pieces of the night. Vintage Cartier, that has to be valued in the millions. It complimented the gorgeous, elegant dress but I would rather have a dress compliment the neckpiece when it is such a spectacular timeless show-stopping piece. The hair is simply awful. Looks like a high-school girl who over-slept."
Jessica Biel
"Fabulous piece! Went well with the dress. Maybe more Golden Globes than Oscars. That hair—looks like Amish work day. Needed earrings even if they were just simple diamond studs. The look looks unfinished. Nice body."
Alicia Vikander
"Pretty necklace, beautiful design, but wrong length. It should have been a little higher and closer to the neck. I do not think the dress and the hair does the necklace justice. It was cute meets classic and just not an Oscar moment. A missed opportunity."
