Hollywood folk: They're just like us, except they get to wear very fancy party dresses to even fancier award shows and get gifted tons of swaggy swag that they can probably afford in an hour's work. (We're not bitter.) Oh, they're also entrusted with the wear and care of extremely extravagant jewels, which doesn't always necessarily work out. All of these fun things are happening right this minute as celebrities, stylists and industry insiders prep for the 70th annual Golden Globes taking place this Sunday.
We got a little taste of the luxe life yesterday when we stopped by StyleLab's VIP jewelry lounge at a super-secret spot Beverly Hills, where we were greeted with ice-encrusted adornments, gorgeous gems and many more dazzling, one-of-a-kind pieces that'll be loaned out to award nominees and presenters for this weekend's ritzy affair. It was all curated by celebrity stylist Michael O'Connor, who's outfitted the earlobes, necks and wrists of megastars like Amy Adams, Eva Longoria, Amber Valletta and tons of other celebs. From dainty vintage hair combs once owned by Marilyn Monroe to an insane $500K necklace dripping in over 90 carats of emeralds and diamonds by Takat, click through the gallery to peep some of the pieces before they hit the red carpet this weekend. (Sorry, you'll have to wait and see who wears what on Sunday.)
Catch the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards this Sunday, January 12th at 5pm PST on NBC.
