SWAROVSKI Shined at The 84th Academy Awards On and Off Stage!!

It was BLING BLING at The Academy Awards both on and off stage!  I always LOVE the fashion on the red carpet, but it really must be beautiful to sit at the show and see the amazing stage too. The set of this year’s 84th Academy Awards® was designed by Oscar-nominated production designer, John Myhre, and prominently featured over 6,500 SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS creating a majestic spectacle for Hollywood’s royalty.

Swarovski,  for  the  fourth consecutive year and  fifth  time  was the creative ingredient illuminating the film world’s most glamorous and revered  stage on Hollywood’s most eagerly anticipated evening.  Myhre’s vision of a  divine  crystal  field of stars was brought to life with a 70 foot wide by 40 foot high custom made Swarovski backdrop twinkling with nearly 4,500 crystals, with a shimmering “halo” of 2,000 crystals evoking a magical atmosphere true to the essence of Hollywood.


HERE’S SOME OF THE SWAROVSKI BLING THAT WAS ALSO SEEN THAT NIGHT:

Maya Rudolph wore a custom Johanna Johnson ‘Claret’ Italian silk wool gown hand beaded and embroidered with Swarovski stones and vintage set beads to the 84th Academy Awards. LOVE THIS!!!

Katy Perry (in Blumarine) and Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese wore a Jenny Packham soft pink chiffon beaded cap sleeve gown with a keyhole bodice and cut-out neckline to the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. She carried a Swarovski silver mix Power clutch.

Vanessa Hudgens wore a Georges Chakra gold strapless mermaid gown with leather foiled cut-outs from the Spring/Summer 2012 Couture collection to the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. She carried a  a vintage gold crystal mesh Swarovski clutch with a chain strap.

APPARENTLY THE CLUTCH BAG TO HAVE AT THESE AWARD SHOWS IS A SWAROVSKI CLUTCH.  That is my next inspiration to show you how to make a Swarovski Clutch yourself! Stay Tuuuned!

A Night With Beyonce and Thousands of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS

OMG! Since Beyonce had her baby Ivy Blue, I've been on FULL Beyonce watch!! I didn't even know she had a TV Special back in December that I am very sad I missed it!  

Beyonce wowed the audience in her first ever TV special “A Night With Beyonce”, which aired on ITV1. The singer dazzled in two Swarovski encrusted costumes designed by luxury couture house Ralph & Russo. 

   

Ralph & Russo used over 50,000 SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS to create the sensational costumes – a daring nude mesh bodysuit covered in smoke blue Swarovski crystal that is OUT OF CONTROL AMAZING and a dramatic red leather flared skirt with bronze metallic cut out corset also embellished with thousands of crystals.

 I am so jealous I wasn't there! It is one of the best concerts she has done ever! Here's the video for your viewing pleasure!

R&B superstar Rihanna commissioned artist Claire Milner to create the largest head portrait of Marilyn Monroe made from 65,000 Swarovski crystals.

The sparkling work of art is 5-feet by 5-feet and has 65,000 hand set crystals attached to Acrylic. The piece took Milner four months to create and it weighs and impressive 80 kilograms. It was created for Rihanna’s new Los Angeles home.

The crystals used in the portrait have mirror-like qualities and according to the artist, the image changes mood in different light conditions.

Milner will be exhibiting her artworks in 2012, including dancers, animals and landscapes in mixed media and Swarovski crystals.
