She’s Still Got It: Susan Sarandon Shows Off Her Pearls at the Golden Globes

After last year’s cancellation, The Golden Globes were back with a bang this year. As always, the hours before the awards caused as much hype as the event itself, with red carpet fashions scrutinised by a mob of fashion journalists. If you looked past the glitzy gowns and shining sapphires, you might have noticed, as I did, the timeless elegance of Susan Sarandon, who had donned with pride a Fred Leighton exclusive long pearl necklace.  Sarandon pouted that she would have to return the stunning piece after the awards and cheekily asked Fred on camera if she could keep it.I don’t blame her! The necklace was a subtle mix of modern style and classic sophisitication.

You might say that the fact that Sarandon, still stunning at 62, was the only A-list celebrity at the Globes to be wearing pearls, means that we’re going back to the days of pearls being the jewels of choice for the “older” woman?Absolutely not! Pearl jewellery has a timeless elegance and charm if you know how to wear it. The secret to true pearl chic is to go that extra mile and find something unique!  Cheap pearls are rarely classy, so avoid the thousands of imitation and low grade pearls you find on eBay.  If you’re on a budget, go for natural freshwater pearls which can be beautiful.  But for the true celeb treatment you should spend that little extra on saltwater pearls, the choice of Susan Sarandon on Sunday night.
