Jewelry Trends on the 2009 MTV VMA Red Carpet
It's unfortunate that this year's MTV Video Music Awards will be remembered by the scene Kanye West created when he rushed onto the stage and grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift's hands before she could give her acceptance speech for
Best Female Video, ranting that Beyonce should have won.
Had he remained in his seat (handcuffs could be a good look for the next awards ceremony he attends) Kanye would have heard the announcement for Beyonce's Video of the Year award, where the class-act star shared the stage with Swift, giving her the speech-time that Kanye took away.
Bling-bling earrings were the primary jewelry theme of the night, not unusual for an MTV awards show, but simple pendants and other necklaces were popular, too. The award for most unusual attire probably goes to Lady Gaga
Quick Look at Kate Beckinsale's Bio
Born and raised in England, actress Kate Beckinsale is the daughter of two actors, Judy Loe and the late Robert Beckinsale (a British actor well known for his popular sitcom roles). Her older half-sister, Samantha Beckinsale, is also an actress.
Kate's daughter, Lily, was born in 1999 to she and ex-partner Michael Sheen. In 2003, Kate and director/screenwriter Len Wiseman became engaged. They were married the following year.
Kate's movie career began in 1991 with a role in One Against the Wind, and has grown to include many other popular films.
Kate Beckinsale Jewelry Style
Large pendant and chandelier earrings are a "trademark" of sorts for Kate when she appears at celebrity events -- not surprising since those styles are a good match for the pulled-back hairstyles she often wears on formal occasions.
The gallery illustrates some of the jewelry she's worn throughout the years, and includes pictures of Kate Beckinsale from 2000 forwards.
September, 2009
Bold, colorful, layered... all three words can be used to describe a large percentage of the jewelry seen around the tents at Bryant Park during this month's New York Fashion Week. Celebrity fashion-goers, like Mariska Hargitay and Tori Spelling, favored chunky necklaces, and flashy pieces were visible on the runway, too.
