The sighting: Legendary top model Tyra Banks recently walked the 2025 ARIA Awards (Australia’s answer to the Grammys) in a sleek black catsuit and a whole lot of sparkle. Let’s take a look!
The jewels: Tyra Banks wore all all House of Emmanuelle, a celeb-favorite demi-fine jewelry brand known for its high-octane statement looks.
The brand described the look on their Instagram as a “stacked layer of Dynasty Étoile Necklaces with Dynasty Rings,” but I believe I see the following pieces:
- The House of Emmanuelle’s La Croix Dynasty Crystal Madonna Crucifix Rosary in
silver-plated metal with crystal, listed online for $522.
- The House of Emmanuelle’s Dynasty Étoile – Titanide Chandelier Crystal Necklace in silver-plated metal with crystal, listed online for $1,823.
- The House of Emmanuelle’s Dynasty Étoile – Stellar Crystal Drop Necklace in silver-plated metal with crystal, listed online for $378.
The trends: The 1980’s are trending, but most of that has been showing up bold, textured gold and statement pearls, rather than this kind of over-the-top Dynasty-style layers of bold sparkly pieces worn all together.
Perhaps this flavor of 1980’s nostalgia is about to become more prominent? It would be very fun for holiday parties.
What do we think? I’m a fan of celebrities going big, especially at events where it makes sense (like the Australian version of the Grammys) but something about this look isn’t quite working for me.
I don’t know if it’s the catsuit, the extremely voluminous hair, or the sheer amount of jewelry but I fear this ensemble is giving “1980’s costume party” more than “chic 1980’s inspired ensemble.” I love the idea of piling on lots of sparkle, but this may be a tiny bit too much, even for me.
Judgement: 6.5/10 for a fun sparkly look that I am just not quite on board with.
