Pearls at the Golden Globes: Susan Sarandon continues a long line of classy pearl-loving celebs
The Golden Globes returned with much pazazz this year after being cancelled last year. As always, the hours before the awards caused as much hype as the event itself, with red carpet fashions scrutinised by a mob of fashion journalists. If you looked past the glitzy gowns and shining sapphires, you might have noticed, as I did, the timeless elegance of Susan Sarandon, who had donned with pride a Fred Leighton exclusive long pearl necklace. Sarandon pouted that she would have to return the stunning piece after the awards and cheekily asked Fred on camera if she could keep it. I’m not surprised – it was a combination of the iconic sophistication of pearls with a modern, funky twist.
But does the fact that Susan Sarandon, aged 62, was one of the only A-listers adorned with pearls on the night mean we are going back to the stereotype of pearls only being worn by old dears?Au contraire! Pearl jewellery has a timeless elegance and charm if you know how to wear it. By which I mean you need to go a little further than the high street jewelers and go for something a little more special! You can get pearls on the cheap, especially the abundance of fake and low grade stones on the internet these days, but they rarely have the style of the real deal. If you’re on a budget, go for natural freshwater pearls which can be beautiful. But for the true celeb treatment you should spend that little extra on saltwater pearls, the choice of Susan Sarandon on Sunday night.

3. Sarah Jessica Parker – she has set many a style trend amongst 21st century women, and has been largely responsible for the resurgence of celebrity pearl chic.
