If there’s one lady that always oozes style, class and sheer sophistication, it’s Russian Fashion Designer, Ulyana Sergeenko. She’s been setting the style and blogging world alight with her effortlessly elegant outfits and glitzy, glamorous statement jewellery, that perfectly enhances her Porcelain-skin and pinup figure.

OK, so we might not all be married to a billionaire, yet with Sophie’s Closet it’s easy to steal her style for a fraction of the price tag.

For instance, we can copy Ms Sergeenko’s love of brooches with these ever-so-similar styles, such as this simply stunning Kenneth Jay Lane Large Emerald Centre Brooch or our Kenneth Jay Lane Art Deco Crystal Dress Clip, both are Rhodium plated and enhanced with Swarovski crystals.

Thinking Baroque

 

Interview Germany (October 2012)

Baroque is the art period of the moment. (A couple of seasons ago, it was all about Art Deco.) We love its audacity, its opulence and, most importantly, Baroque and jewellery go together like milk and cookies.

The fashion crowd in Milan has fully embraced this lavish look, as captured by Tommy Ton -- all the colours, florals and gold!

 

Valentino F/W 2012

Melinda Maria 'Elle' Ring

Valentino's current collection plays on the softer, more romantic side of the trend with delicate pinks, mixed with glistening gold.

 

Miu Miu F/W 2012

Elizabeth Cole 'Navette' Earrings

Erickson Beamon 'Rear Window' Chain Drops

Miu Miu and its printed suits sure look like antique upholstery, accented by gold accessories.

Lulu Frost 'Triple Beach Plum' Earrings

Miriam Haskell Flower Pearl Bracelet

And the combination of gold and pearls is always a winning one (just look at this intricate little bag!), and it's precisely what we want to wear in the fall.

ON THE RED CARPET: The Oscars

THE LOOK: Penelope Cruz wearing Chopard diamonds
TRY: Dannijo 'Garbo' Earrings

The most glamorous Hollywood event happened over the weekend, The Academy Awards. These five actresses not only dazzled with their gorgeous gowns, but with their lovely jewels too.

Penelope Cruz is that classic beauty that echoes Old Hollywood. And she did just that with her gorgeous grey/blue silk chiffon Armani gown and pretty Chopard diamonds. Penelope chose classic flower-shaped studs for the occasion, not distracting too much from her glamorous gown.


THE LOOK: Jessica Chastain wearing Harry Winston drop earrings
TRY: Bounkit Lemon Quartz Drop Earrings

Newcomer and Oscar nominee, Jessica Chastain, made a red carpet statement in an embroidered black and gold Alexander McQueen gown. Her beautiful red hair was in that effortless half up/half down up-do, with little citrine Harry Winston drop earring peeping out.


THE LOOK: Rose Byrne wearing Chanel earrings
TRY: Badgley Mischka Deco Redux Tassel Earrings

Australian knockout and star of Bridesmaids, Rose Byrne, dazzled in a sparkling Vivienne Westwood gown. She also had the chicest hairstyle of the evening, a sharp little Anna Wintour-like bob. Her earrings of choice: pretty tassel chandeliers by Chanel.


THE LOOK: Michelle Williams wearing a vintage Fred Leighton bow brooch
TRY: Kenneth Jay Lane Bow Drops Brooch

One of our favourite gowns of the evening belonged to Michelle Williams who wore a stunning, and very girly, Louis Vuitton, featuring a peplum detail at the hip and many cascading ruffles. But what we loved the most as the little bow brooch at her waist -- just lovely!


THE LOOK: Emma Stone wearing a Louis Vuitton cable chain bracelet
TRY: Zirconmania Gunmetal Pave Link Bracelet

Speaking of bows, we adored Emma Stone's Giambattista Valli gown. Emma went light on accessories, opting for tiny ruby earrings and a Louis Vuitton chain link bracelet. But really, the bow was everything! So fun; just like her style.
