Well-chosen accessories create an image, whether it's massive costume jewelry or model shoes.
Some accessories are worn on special occasions, while without others it is simply impossible to imagine your image. But there are those who have worn once, become famous forever. Let's list the most famous accessories, from the bow in Brigitte Bardot's hair to the favorite shoes of Carrie Bradshaw from Manolo Blanika.
1. Black ballet flats by Audrey Hepburn
All the ingenious is simple - adhering to this principle, Hepburn, far ahead of her time, boldly put on black and emphasized her miniature with her shoes without heels. Knowing her predilections, the Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo specially for Audrey released black ballet flats with straps.
2. The fur stole of Marilyn Monroe
"Today I want to be a platinum blonde to the tips of my nails," Marilyn said once. One of the most famous actresses of the twentieth century loved the white color, and her sand cape was an integral part of the snow-white decollete dress and diamonds.
3. Pearl necklace Coco Chanel
A woman whose influence on fashion is difficult to appreciate, has revolutionized accessories, becoming one of the founders of costume jewelery. It was Coco who introduced the necklaces of artificial pearls into fashion, as opposed to expensive jewelry made of precious stones.
4. Tape in the hair of Grace Kelly
The beauty, who became a royal person, was elegant in everything, and even the thin black ribbon in her hair became an exquisite symbol of the era.
5. The bow on the head of Brigitte Bardot
The mop of luxurious white hair of the sex symbol of the 60's was framed either by a playful bow or by a wide ribbon. But the way she wore a bow - right on top of her head, like a schoolgirl, while remaining desirable and unattainable, - nobody dared to put it on - neither before nor after.
6. John Lennon's Round Glasses
Round glasses became an invariable attribute of Lennon in 1968, when the Beatles, being carried away by philosophical themes and becoming hippies, decided to change their image. The image became so successful that we no longer imagine the famous Beatle in a different way, and even on a commemorative 5-pound coin, Lennon was depicted wearing round glasses.
7. The Tiara of Princess Diana
The beloved tiara of the princess was the wedding gift of Queen Elizabeth. The tiara, made up of 19 pearls framed with diamonds, was made in 1913 for the consoling queen Maria, the wife of King George V, and is a copy of an earlier decoration worn by her grandmother.
8. Jackie Kennedy's Big Sunglasses
The icon of the style of the 60's knew how to emphasize its dignity and hide its shortcomings. Putting on large sunglasses, Jackie leveled the proportions of her imperfect face and simultaneously made the accessory a trend for several decades ahead.
9. Diamonds of Elizabeth Taylor
After the death of the actress, her legendary collection of jewelry went under the hammer at auction Christie's for more than $ 115 million. The pearl of the collection was a necklace of diamonds and rubies from Cartier, created specifically for the world's largest pearl La Peregrina, known from the 16th century. The second most expensive decoration - a ring with a 33-carat diamond. Both jewelry were donated by Elizabeth Edward Burton, for whom she married twice.
