The eight-piece women’s collection was inspired by ’70s funk culture and includes dramatic shapes and gold details.  With all of the new sunglasses designers that have emerged over the past few years you would expect that these would fit in with all the rest, but the twins used their creativity to design unique and recognizable pieces.  They took elements from the traditional styles like aviators and flattops and tweeked them to create all new designs.

DSquared2 Debuts Line of Sunglasses

The Beryll unadorned sunglasses with richly colored frames and lenses are extremely popular right now in Cali and are being worn by celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Lenny Kravitz, and Katie Holmes.  The handcrafted frames are made from surgical steel or hand polished Italian acetate and have 100% UV protection.  Here are a few of my favorite styles:

Beryll Babe Sunglasses $310

I absolutely love the color on these!  The saturated bordeaux frames pair well with the oversized round brown lenses.  These are a great example of the simple, but well-designed, style of Beryll sunglasses.  They also are available in rich color options of brown, peach, and stone.

This is a limited edition style that would work well equally for men or women.  The rectangular black acetate frames have thick sides for a surfer-inspired look.

Beryll Colt Sunglasses $330

These are a more unique style with the use of a combination of metal and plastic in the frames.  I would love to have a pair of these too!  I love the design with the metal piece that wraps and turns into the sides of the frames.  Fabulous.

Luxury Beryll sunglasses are available online at Beryll or in stores at Barney’s, Henri Bendel, and Fred Segal.

Beryll Sunglasses Worn By Celebrities

1. Give the One Shoulder

One shoulder dresses throughout this Award Season have been all the rage. Try something like this Halston Long Wrap Dress if you loved the look that Sheryl Crowe sported during this year’s Grammy Awards.

2. Go Strapless

Strapless dresses are always a classic choice, from Jennifer Lopez to Mylie Cyrus most celebrities and luxury wearing fashionistas wear a strapless dresses now and then. Try this Gold Embroidered Marchesa dress if you want to go strapless.

3. Wear fabulous shoes.

Most commentators, like those on E! and NBC will ask “who are you wearing?” but do celebs usually tell them about their shoes? Rarely, unless you are watching E! and they put their shoe on their shoe cam, you’re rarely going to get a picture of their shoes, but, in the real world, shoes make the outfit. So, wear the heck out of those stunning shoes!

4. Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize!

Wear great earrings, necklaces, and rings. Of course, don’t go overboard. It all depends on the type of dress you are wearing. If you are wearing something strapless with a bit of detail, you may want to try some dangling bling. If you have some very subtle colors, black, white, or lavender, try some rings or necklaces.  Look at these Anita Ko Diamond Encrusted Panther Earrings. They’re interesting and could make your evening look pop.

5. Embrace the Greek

Angelina Jolie wears Greek inspired clothing well. Of course, not all of us can look like Angie everyday, but we can try! Check out this Roksanda Illincic number.

6. Wear Great Colors

Colors are all  over the place this Spring season, so why not do it in the evening as well? Pinks, Limes, Blues, Purples, you choose! Getting dressed up for a luxurious event means making bold decisions, so pick a bold color! Try this lime Alexander McQueen Silk Twist Front Dress.

7. Carry a clutch

No need to carry around your whole life in the evening, a cell phone, some lip gloss and a a little cash should be enough for the evening. Carrying a small handbag should be enough for you. Try this Celestina Abalone box clutch if you want to add a little bit of sparkle to your ensemble.

8. Cuffs

Cuffs are one of the top jewelry accessories for an evening out. Gold, Silver, expensive, inexpensive, they’ll make your friends talk like crazy. Look at this Tory Binns Blue Crystal Cuff for color and the cuff style.

9. Go Full Length

No need to always go above the knee for these types of events. Of course, dress for the event. For the Oscars, a long dress would probably be the best (unless your Abigail Bresslin) . However, for New Year’s Eve out and about from club to club, a short dress is not out of the question.  I love this Erdem Annecy Silk Gown (it’s floor length).

10. Wear Black

Trends come and go, so no matter what color may be in now, a black will always be right. So, if you can’t find the right color, always pick up a few black dresses and try those on before making a decision. I love this D&G Fitted Bustier Dress.

Now that we’ve come to an end,  just take note, see if all the celebrities did all of these things and keep a tally of the best and worst dressed of the Oscar Night!
