And the Oscar Goes to….Hollywood’s Leading Ladies

With all eyes on Hollywood last night, it was officially the close of awards season with the 83rd annual Academy Awards. Long having been considered “the most watched” event in tinsel town, it is always exciting to see what everyone is wearing and on whose arm they arrive. This year definitely disappoint, as there was a great array of films being honored and the celebrities made sure to dress for the occasion. There was definitely the spectrum of styles that were seen walking the red carpet. Some of Hollywood’s leading ladies played it on the safe side, pairing simple jewelry with bold dresses while others made sure to be head to toe over the top!

The ever stunning Reece Witherspoon definitely brought her A-game last night choosing a black and white Armani Privé, figure flattering gown with a simple, high ponytail that showcased the Neil Lane diamond and emerald drop earrings. Finishing her look was the pair of Neil Lane diamond and platinum bracelets and Neil Lane diamond emerald ring. Of course the newly engaged actress was seen sporting her Ashoka diamond engagement ring. The very pregnant Natalie Portman had a radiant glow about her that was definitely helped by the violet Rodarte gown that showcased a shimmering sea of Swarovski crystals. Beautifully complimenting her look was the dramatic pair of Tiffany & Co. rubellite and diamond drop earrings and Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger diamond ring. Her engagement ring from fiancé, Benjamin Millepied, must have been a good luck charm for her, as she took home the Oscar for Best Actress. Looking ever statuesque was Best Supporting Actress nominee, Amy Adams, who wore a glittering purple L’Wren Scott gown that had her sparkling throughout the night. Not to be outdone by the dress, Adams chose bold Cartier jewelry to complete her look, with a platinum, diamond and emerald necklace, diamond stud earrings and a Cartier platinum, diamond and emerald bracelet. Her most favorite piece of jewelry was her engagement ring.

Another trend that was seen on the Red Carpet last night were red gowns to match the proverbial runway. Presenter, Sandra Bullock chose a scarlet red Vera Wang strapless gown that hugged her amazing figure. She left us a little disappointed with the jewelry though, wearing only Harry Winston diamond stud earrings and a pair of Vintage Harry Winston diamond bangle bracelets. New mom, Penelope Cruz stepped out in head to toe glam while supporting her Best Supporting Actor husband, Javier Bardem. It was hard to remember that she had recently delivered their baby boy when seeing her in the plunging L’Wren Scott red, sequined gown that she accented with a pair of Chopard diamond drop earrings. Newcomer and Best Actress nominee, Jennifer Lawrence definitely left her mark on Hollywood last night with her figure hugging red Calvin Klein gown that left nothing to the imagination. Finishing her look was the Chopard pair of diamond earrings and simple diamond bangle bracelet.

With every awards show, you will always see a handful of actresses who think outside of the box and push the boundaries with their attire. Last night this idea definitely seemed to pay of for a few of our favorite leading ladies. One of the night’s Best Song performers, Gwenyth Paltrow looked like a shiny Oscar statuette in her Calvin Klein Collection metallic gown that was paired with Louis Vuitton high jewelry drop earrings, a broach that served as her belt and a ring. Weight Watcher’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Hudson showed us that all of her hard work has definitely been paying off with a revealing, tangerine Atelier Versace halter gown. Diamonds definitely seemed to be Hudson’s best friend last night, as she was seen wearing Neil Lane diamond drop earrings, two Neil Lane wide diamond bangle bracelets, a Neil Lane diamond leaf bangle bracelet and a fancy colored diamond ring. With such an exciting night that celebrated both film and fashion, it’s hard not to start getting excited for next year’s Academy Awards.

New Trend in Wedding Proposals: When SHE Pops the Question!

Jennifer Hudson Proposes to Beau

Jennifer Hudson has turned the tables on the traditional wedding proposal. She’s had a ring designed for her lawyer-turned-wrestler beau, and presented it to him as she asked for his hand in marriage. This is indicative of the leaps women have made over the years, and the days of “ladies in waiting” have proven to be an out-dated concept.

It’s 2009 and there is no question that women are making their own impact in the world. We have found our way into numerous arenas previously only associated with men. So hearing about a woman proposing to her man should be no exception. There has been a growing trend of women assuming the duty of proposing engagement to their significant others. This role-reversal was bound to happen with the rise of ladies in the drivers’ seat heading major corporations, getting on the presidential ballot, and having a crack at professional sports previously only a male opportunity.

Mens Collection

The variety of men’s bands has also grown recently, making it easier to find the right ring to reflect your guy’s style. Forget about the old plain gold bands of your grandfathers’ time. The designer jewelry market has found a demand for unique, beautifully crafted men’s wedding bands.

There are still classic options as well as modern styles to choose from, which can make the proposal to your beau truly unforgettable. RITANI has expanded their men’s band line in both Modern and Classic design styles to accommodate the various tastes of today’s man. Whether he likes simplicity or edgy designs you will find there are many to choose from in the RITANI men’s ring collection.
