CELEBRITIES IN PEARLS: Sophia Bush Looks Great in Miriam Haskell Pearl Necklace

Posted by

American Actress, Sophia Bush stunned while attending the luncheon in honor of designer Rachel Pally at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood in 2009.

She did so, wearing a simply stylish, Rachel Pally top and skater skirt, accompanied with a beautifully bold gold and pearl Miriam Haskell statement necklace.

The necklace really took the dove grey top and black mini from everyday girl to chic Fashionista. We also think the look really stood out with her naughty girl Dior Gladiator heels.

PEARL FASHION: Zack Dobbins Says Pearls Are No Longer Just For Your Mom And We Agree!

As we stated multiple times, pearls are no longer just for your mother and we found that Zack Dobbins, from Gulfshorelife.com totally agrees!

Dobbins wrote an article entitled, “Style File: Not Your Mother’s Pearls”, which explains his thoughts and opinions on how pearls are for the chic and fashionable youth as well!

“However I think it’s time they [Pearls] come back, but in a different mix. Not in the expected “lady-like” way but much to the contrary. My favorite acting teacher and early style Icon, Andi Horowitz, used to wear the longest strand of pearls to acting class almost daily.  But she did it in the chicest way. Thrown on with a white T-shirt and skinny denim— the anti-lady, more rock star. It felt glamorous without trying.” read more
