Everyone’s in a pearly mood. The return of pearls is making a huge comeback. The trend dictators are reviving the pearl era created by priestesses of fashion like Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana, Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. So, ladies gear up for some pearl action!
Women in power are just drooling over pearls; recently Hillary Clinton sizzled the house with her sparkling pearls. Pearls are the fashion accessory of choice for prominent females in politics. Even Madeleine M Kunin’s new book on women in US politics is called Pearls, Politics and Power.
You can flaunt your pearls even with an Armani or Versace pantsuit. That’s why even Indra Nooyi never forgets to wear her pearl string necklace and earrings with her business suit. Pearls project a balance of both, power and beauty, that’s why it’s a must-have for all power-dressers. Pearls are subtle, yet they make a powerful style statement.
Be it a sari or a funky short dress, pearls are your perfect companion. They have a great rapport with the sari and even Maharani Gayatri Devi never steps out without her shimmering pearls. Personally I love Baroque and south sea pearls. You can wear them with an exquisitely embroidered sari. Forget the bling; we’re bringing back the old Hollywood glamour with pearls. Who can forget the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, in which Audrey Hepburn wore a Givenchy black dress and teamed it up with three strands of white pearls and crystal pendant.
Recently, Michelle Obama was wearing power pearls, interestingly her pearls were bigger than Condoleezza Rice’s, they became talk of the town and concern for the whole nation. One big pearl, be it Akoya, Tahitian, freshwater or south sea pearls and all eyes can be on you. Big pearls are in fashion and a single string of graded pearls in white and crème is must have. But if you’re skinny and lean, then the big ones won’t suit you.
