CELEBRITY STYLE WATCH: Long Necklaces

The latest lust-have look sweeping the world of celebrities is long, luscious necklaces. Not only do they enhance your outfit in an effortless-chic understated way, they help to slim down the appearance of your silhouette.

Rihanna

Iconic style-setter Rihanna is a major fan of the statement-making drop necklace, adorning her white ensemble with a beautiful-meets-bling inspired chunky gold chain and pendant. Plus a selection of our favourite fashionista’s from Reese Whitherspoon to Heidi Klum also know how to rock a long outfit-transforming necklace.

Reese Witherspoon

Here at Sophie’s Closet we’ve tapped into the trend and have an abundance of luxe long necklaces just waiting to entice you.

Take your pick from the Rachel Zoe Crystal Tassel End Rope Necklace, as seen on super-stylist Rachel Zoe herself. This covetable creation also doubles up as a belt, plus nails the nautical trend too!

Recently we saw the celebs and supermodels out in force for the fashion event of the season - New York Fashion Week. As always, the fashionista’s filled the front row in their finest attire, so we thought we’d take a closer look at the gorgeous gems and glitzy jewels that adorned the FROW.

Statement Necklaces

The ever-glamourous Miroslava Duma secured her style-setter status by wearing one of her trademark statement necklaces to sit front row at Theyskens’ Theory F/W 2013. Glitzy gems are always the order of the day for the former editor of Harper's Bazaar Russia and her chic colourful cluster last week was no exception.

Get her look with our Shourouk Rita Cadillac Necklace, designed with Swarovski crystals, brass chain and neon sequins.
