Great Pearls of Gatsby

CocoVee is excited about the 2012 Christmas release of the Great Gatsby by Baz Luhrmann, who is responsible for Romeo and Juliet (with Leo and Claire) and Moulin Rouge (with Miss Kidman). The stills look great and Carey Mulligan is clad in pearls!

What a fabulous pearl bracelet !!!

Love this headpiece ordained with pearls !!!

LOVE this shot - a simple pearl earring can look so dramatic when worn well - and Leo looks good, too!

The Great Gatsby was written in 1925 (by F.Scott Fitzgerald) , in a time of prohibition and a booming economy - pearls were just in - and they still look just as good!

Here's the radiant Mia Farrow of the 1974 adaptation of the Great Gatsby - with a lovely pearl necklace on!

Baz Luhrman (or his costume designer of choice) must love the look of pearls on film - and why not?

This is the lovely Nicole Kidman in Baz's Moulin Rouge - beautiful in her pearls!!!

Can't wait to see the movie this year and more of Carey in her pearls!

Pearls on Magazine Covers

This month, Scarlett Johansson graces the cover of American Vogue - wearing pearl earrings! It's not the first time pearls are on the cover of a magazine - it's been happening since the dawn of mass print publications!  

Pearls galore almost 100 years ago - this is Elsie Ferguson in 1917!

LIFE - "Pearls: this is their big year" - 1949!

Mia Farrow looks good in her pearls for "Gatsby" - on the cover of PEOPLE in 1974!

This is Australia's Harper's Bazaar, February 2008, with the lovely Nicole Kidman wearing a long strand of pearls with a lingerie-influenced dress!

And of course - this month's American Vogue, with Scarlett and her pearl earring!

In woman's fashion - there are few items that can be so timeless as the pearl necklace or earrings - I'm sure we will see many more on the covers of our favorite magazines!
