Stoles and wraps are very glamorous but not heavy like a coat, which would not be weather-wise for Los Angeles in March. But black and white, the hot fashion colors for spring, won't make the transition to the red carpet, according to the stylist. While black is a standard at awards shows, anyone who wants to be noticed won't wear it because there was so much black at the Emmys and Golden Globes, and actresses tend to stay away from white because they feel too much like a bride, he says. As for the all-important jewels, Lopez again might be the trendsetter. She wore a fan-shaped diamond pin to the Golden Globes, and orders for pins have skyrocketed, says Fred Leighton, the celebrity friendly designer with shops in Manhattan and Las Vegas.
Pins are particularly popular as an accessory to one-shoulder gowns.
Overall, jewelry likely will follow the trend in dresses to be more delicate and sophisticated. You can't get that kind of reaction from anything else than when a beautiful star wears beautiful jewels.
