THE 2020 PEOPLE’S Choice Awards might have not had a live audience, but it did have red carpet moments that brought back some much-needed glamour. The ceremony was smaller, but the jewels made a strong statement with one trend becoming clear: heavy gold chain links. We have seen it coming for a while, mostly as the backdrop for symbolic charms and talismans, but chains like the one Addison Rae wore from Tiffany & Co. are meant to be worn on their own. The look is sensual without being overtly sexy.
