The Stars Are Out!
On Sunday, March 27, the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles will be aglow with the light of a thousand stars as Hollywood gathers to celebrate the 94th Academy Awards ceremony. Maybe you’ve got a favorite film you’re rooting for, or you’re just in it for the popcorn and snacks. Whether you revel in the red carpet pre-show or watch until the final envelope is opened, you’re sure to be stunned by the celebrities and their jewels. We’ve highlighted some of this year’s nominated films and paired them with dazzling Roberto Coin collections to get you in the mood.
Nightmare Alley
Nominated for Best Picture, Production Design, Costume Design, and Cinematography.
Guillermo del Toro is known for his monsters, and in this movie he casts Bradley Cooper as one of them. A psychological thriller with a lot of noir and a lot of stars (Cate Blanchette, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Rooney Mara…need we continue?), Nightmare Alley captures the darker side of traveling carnivals. The carnivalesque atmosphere echoes the original Carnivale in Venice, and the moody mystery of our black and white diamond Venetian Princess and Love in Verona collections. Rich rose gold is especially prescient – the metal had its original popularity in the middle of the 20th century, when this film is set.
West Side Story
Nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (Steven Spielberg), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana deBose), Production Design, Costume Design, Cinematography, and Sound.
A quintessential American tale gets a refresh from renowned director Steven Spielberg, and the results are golden. The beloved musical (itself a reimagining of Romeo and Juliet) pairs iconic songs with fresh choreography and a standout performance from Broadway star Ariana deBose. You don’t need to be a Shark or a Jet to embrace the requisite New York jewelry wardrobe: gold hoops and chains. Our Perfect Gold Hoops, Designer Gold chain, and Designer Gold earrings are clear winners in any dance-off. Wear them and you’ll be singing “I Feel Pretty”, even if only in the shower.

Dune
Nominated for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Production Design, Costume Design, Cinematography, Editing, Makeup & Hairstyling, Sound, Visual Effects, and Score.
Sci-Fi canon consists of several ur-texts, and Frank Herbert’s Dune is one of the weightiest. In his adaptation, director Denis Villeneuve creates a futuristic far-off world grappling with familiar challenges. With performances from Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, and Jason Momoa, the film is a feast for the eyes. When you’re ready for your jewelry to go intergalactic, turn to two of our most forward-looking collections. The Love in Verona mother-of-pearl and rainbow sapphire pendant, ring, and earrings reflect your capricious moods, and the unique surface of Pois Moi Luna mimics the many moons of the galaxy.

Spencer
Nominated for Best Actress (Kristen Stewart).
Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more of the royal family, Spencer splashed on the screen to tell the story of a single weekend that proved a turning point in the monarchy as we know it. Christmas 1991, Princess Diana is at Sandringham with her in-laws (aka the House of Windsor) and struggling with her husband’s infidelity. By the end of the holiday, she’ll have made a decision that changes the course of history. While Kristen Stewart captures the essence of Diana, Roberto Coin has long believed that any woman can be a princess. The romanticism of royalty is captured in our Venetian Princess and Love in Verona collections, with their feminine floral references and patrician style.

7772824AYERX – Petite Venetian Princess stud earrings, $2700

7773189AY65X – Petite Venetian Princess ring, $2090
House of Gucci
Nominated for Makeup and Hairstyling.
Was it the accent? House of Gucci gained more notoriety for the nominations it didn’t receive—with director Ridley Scott, Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto—than the one it did for hair and makeup. For a movie about a famed fashion house, the styling was on point from Milan to St Moritz. And our particular favorite aspect was the easy, luxurious look of Lady Gaga’s layered gold chain. Replicate it with our Designer Gold and Navarra collections, mixing a variety of gold links with diamond accents for that St Moritz sparkle. Toss on a casual yet oversized pair of Designer Gold hoops and make a statement that’s the pinnacle of style. This is legacy.

Anderson), and Original Screenplay.
Newcomers and Hollywood royalty meet to make this coming-of-age film steeped in seventies nostalgia. Alana Haim (of the eponymous band) makes her acting debut alongside Cooper Hoffman (son of the late, great Philip Seymour) in this romp through the San Fernando Valley. Channel the youthful energy of Licorice Pizza with with our Perfect Diamond Hoops™, Diamonds by the Inch, and Tiny Treasures.
