Sharing Trend Predictions With TheInsideSource

TheInsideSource.com posted my thoughts and predictions on red carpet trends for 2011's Golden Globe Awards show. Check out an excerpt below or read the full article in the link.

Advising Amy Adams, Eva Longoria, Kate Flannery, and Randy Jackson about red carpet jewelry is all in a day's work for celebrity style expert Michael O’Connor. If Michael O'Connor looks familiar, you may have seen him covering the Academy Awards red carpet for TV Guide TV or caught his fashion segments for MTV and E!  

The Inside Source caught up with Michael O’Connor at StyleLab’s Golden Globes Jewelry Suite, an only-in-Hollywood destination where top celebrities and celebrity stylists can borrow their choice from a total of $14m worth of red carpet jewelry.

With the Golden Globes behind us and several awards shows still ahead, we asked celebrity style expert Michael O'Connor what fashion jewelry trends we can expect to see glimmering on our screens.

“I always view clothing as the wrapping for a beautiful present, but the jewelry is the ribbon. You need to have that kind of sparkle,” explained Michael O’Connor.  “This season, the red carpet is influenced by a couple of things. Number one: fashion designers are doing a lot of color, so jewelry designers are starting to add more colored diamonds and unusual colored gem stones.”
