"Pod" type dangle earrings and draping bracelets were worn by a prepondence of celebrities in attendance at the 2008 Academy Awards.

The 2008 Academy Awards were presented last night, and with few exceptions earrings and bracelets ruled as the celebrities walked the red carpet.

What's New in Earrings:

"Pod" type earrings were shown in abundance, both in three- and two-dimensional mode. Literally, think of a seed pod. This dangling earring type was shown with about a one-inch drop from the post with the "pod" type dangle hanging downward from the drop.

Celebrity Pod Style:

Doorknob Diamond Earrings:

Hot Pink and Red:

Red was a favorite color for gowns this year. Most celebrities wearing red teamed their garment with diamonds. One notable exception was Heidi Klum who looked fabulous in a red dress, hot pink colored dangling earrings and hand bag with pink lipstick.

Her earrings are her own design - Heidi Klum for Mouawad and were hung in with rubies and kunzite. Penelope Cruz wore a pair of killer Chopard ruby and diamond dangling earrings.

Bracelets:

Two types of bracelets dominated. The first was a wide, jeweled, flexible full cuff bracelet that draped around the wrist extending slightly onto the top of the hand. This type of bracelet draws favorable attention to that proportionally small part of the female form.

Bangle karated gold bracelets were also worn - multiple bangles on one wrist.

What's out (for now at least):

Chandelier earrings. Store these earrings for now and be ready to pull them back into your earring lineup in a few seasons when they return to vogue.
