The Winner Takes It All…
The center stage is taken by the clothing worn on the Red Carpet but the accessories are never left far behind. In the end it is always the jewelry that uplifts any outfit bringing it to life. Red carpet appearances are the ones that are remembered for years to come. The 85th Annual Academy Awards held on Feb 24th 2013 saw the ladies put their best foot forward.
