This Week's Red Carpet Lesson: When in Doubt, Just Add Some Sparkle
When it comes to red carpet dressing, a great gown is only half the equation. The other part? Accessories. From cocktail rings to clutches or even a pair of sparkly shoes, it's the add-ons that can really take an outfit from meh to marvelous. And clearly ladies like Kate Beckinsale, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Zoe Kravitz got the note. This week, they showed us the power of a good statement-making piece by opting to pair their ensembles with large chokers over tiny charms.
Of course, if you're more of a minimalist, you can always go with an outfit that wows on its own. Poppy Delevingne's sequined French Connection mini was definitely a show-stealer at the brand's Spring/Summer preview party, as was Jessica Chastain's Roksanda Resort 2015 gown at the AFI Fest. Scroll through to view all the looks that caught our eye over the past few days and see how a little bit of shine can go a long way.

While this gold Paula Mendoza choker was a fun choice for the actress, we've got our eyes on that Zimmermann dress.
