RSVIP: Celebrating the SAG Awards

Filed under: Events

Saturday night, Cara Buono, right, Faye Miller on "Mad Men, " ascended the carpet-covered cobblestone that leads up to the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood wearing stilettos to attend an Entertainment Weekly fete honoring SAG Awards nominees, presented by L'Oreal Paris. Chunky jewel-tone stones by David Yurman dangled from her earlobes. Her voluptuous figure was highlighted by a sparkly black dress by Oday Shakar with a broad V-neck. "I have to tell you, I was ready," she said of her ability to march up the steep driveway in heels. "It's just getting out of the car."

Sophisticated beyond her years, Ariel Winter, of "Modern Family," had just celebrated her 13th birthday. One didn't expect the tween to have caught "No Strings Attached" to celebrate. "I'm a very big fan of Natalie Portman," she told Luxist. "I recently met her at the Golden Globes. She's pregnant, and she's beautiful!"

Upstairs at the Chateau, a notorious hangout for Hollywood bad boys (Dennis Hopper in the 1960s) and fun-loving starlets, the back garden, reminiscent of a hilltop cloister in the north of France, had been tented with clear plastic. The five women who played the Ward and Eklund sisters in "The Fighter" were tressed like sirens, not like the bleached and teased 1980s throwbacks they played onscreen. Bianca Hunter, Cathy "Pork" Eklund, said endured a "double-process platinum blonde" coif for the film and a "gray tooth." Jenna Lamia, Sherri Ward, said her "Fighter" wardrobe consisted of "a yard of acid-washed denim."

Seated for dinner in an alcove to the right of the front desk, Mark Ruffalo and his wife joined Chevy Chase. "I tried to keep cool, but I had to drool on him a little bit," Ruffalo said of Chase while he and his wife made their way back to their room at the Chateau. "He's seriously cool."
Nearby, funny man David Spade carried two drinks with one hand.

Rose Cut Diamonds In Fashion

We saw them on Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes, we saw them on Felicity Huffman and Cate Blanchett at the SAG Awards, but what exactly are rose cut diamonds? The rose cut is one of the older diamond cuts, it came into being in the 16th century when diamonds were polished using diamond dust. It has a flat bottom and a faceted top that rises to a point, making them dramatically different from the modern brilliant cut which has a flat table on the top, a faceted crown and a pointed pavilion underneath.

The rose cut provided more brilliance than other methods used at the time but fell out of favor once rotary saws and lasers started being used to cut diamonds because the rose cut is more wasteful than other cuts. Still, the rose cut is a sought after look, particularly in vintage or Indian jewelry. They provide more muted fire and brilliance than other blockbuster gems but provide their own mysterious glamour.
