Prom is one of those special nights you’re going to remember forever! And you want to make sure you look amazing in those memories. Your prom look doesn’t end with the dress and the shoes though; you’ll want to make your look your own by adding statement accessories. Check out some of the trends we’re noticing among celebrities…

Drop Earrings

Sandra Bullock wears some chunky stones; Julianne Hough's glittery tiered teardrops; Mila Kunis' diamond and platinum ribbon earrings at the Oscars were among the most talked about.

These drop earrings look lovely peaking out from under hair swept back in loose waves or tucked behind the ear, and add drama without pulling too much attention from the face.

Statement Bracelets

Mila Kunis' laurel bracelet adds another Grecian element to the goddess folds of her gown; Miley Cyrus wears a vintage-looking cuff; Kim Kardashian sticks to black stones to play off her dress and bag.

A bold bracelet is great if you want to buy just one piece as you'll want to skip the necklace and rings when you have something so dramatic on your arm. Look for a piece with a similar feel to your dress, you won't look matchy-matchy, you want your bracelet and your dress to be in harmony not competing for attention.
1. Karen Millen Statement Stone Embellished Bracelet C$67.68 /US$68.13 (sale)
2. Jessica Simpson Antique Gold Tone Stretch Cuff - US$35.00
3. Forever21 Jeweled Bow Stretch Bracelet - C$10.80/ US$8.80
4. EB by Erickson Beamon Dark Grey Snake Cuff C$12.00 (sale)
5. Forever21 Scalloped Edges Cuff C$12.80
6. Red Herring Gold Bangle and Bracelet Set C$12.00

Chunky Rings

Jennifer Lopez's dress and bag are so embellished, jewellery would be overkill, but going to simple on the ring wouldn't blend with the rest of her get up; Brittany Snow's ring is simple and elegant and balances well with the jewel-encrusted shoulders she's sporting; Scarlett Johansson's bright dress gives her license to play around with a colourful accessory, and she's smartly kept her nails neutral.

Retro and romantic, but definitely not subtle, these bold rings are perfect if you have a fussy or high neckline or have opted for a longer sleeved dress.
1. Audrey Hepburn Printed Antique Silver & Pearl Ring US$14.95
2. Topshop Open Wings Ring
US$25.00
3. Aldo Borcadicadore Flower Ring C$15.00/US$15.00

I agree with you cathy, it's pretty hot!
I really like bracelets, I'm going to be on a hunt for a few big statement ones in the near future.

I got a glam pair of drop crystal earrings for Christmas this year and I just can't seem to find anywhere special enough to wear them!

I want Miley Cyrus' old-fashioned style bracelet - it's beautiful.
