Hollywood starlets are flocking to the city for the Toronto International Film Festival, no doubt rocking some killer accessories at premieres and parties. Get the celeb look with these original handmade pieces from Made You Look Accessories, designed by some of Toronto’s finest jewellery makers. You’re sure to be showered with compliments when wearing any of these works of art – don’t forget to thank Made You Look in your acceptance speech!
Channel Old Hollywood with the Audrey Feather Earrings ($30) by Baby Steinberg, featuring a mini photo of Audrey Hepburn at the base of each ear and bright red feathers to frame your face. The bold colour is sure to catch the attention of Hollywood hunks and Audrey’s beautiful face adds a touch of poise and grace to your party ensemble.
Climb the ropes of fame wearing the Fabric Ribbon Rope Bracelet ($45) by Chateau de Gateau Available in a range of colours, each bracelet consists of two or three fabric ribbons first twisted around themselves to look like rope, then braided into one fab bracelet.
Glam it up on the red carpet with the Multi-strand Silver Fabric Necklace ($65), also by Chateau de Gateau. This edgy, eye-catching piece adds some modern flair to an otherwise classic-looking piece with thin strands of silver fabric woven into one elegant necklace.
Attention aspiring actresses: the Brass Star Necklace ($135) by MoonRox sends a clear message to the movers and shakers of showbiz – “Cast me!” Drama queens will love this fun, flirty necklace with five large brass stars and a number of sparkly beads around the neckline that scream personality.
Be the belle of the ball, er… premiere… with the Glitz and Glam Rhinestone and Fabric Necklace by Monika Peczeli ($720). The mother of all statement necklaces, this piece adds a splash of colour to that LBD. Beautifully detailed rhinestone placement on delicately layered fabric, and large and small embellishments really make this necklace pop with originality and style.
Look like a rock star with the Ribbon Piping Necklace ($75), again by Chateau de Gateau. A black ribbon with gold or silver stitching on one edge is artfully spun into dramatic coils, making this a statement necklace to dress up any outfit.
