O'Connor forecasts that celebrities will return to classic Hollywood glamour, with statement earrings, bold necklaces, and sleek diamond cuff bracelets.

O'Connor offers the following red carpet trend predictions:

Bold Necklaces
Everyone took notice of Naomi Watts' serpent necklace at the Golden Globe Awards. Whether it's a timeless diamond pendant or an edgy pearl collar style, large necklaces are making a comeback on the red carpet. The latest designs add a chic twist to a classic style.

Jewelry by Gail reinterprets the pearl necklace by fusing natural golden, grey, and white South Sea pearls with a Mexican fire opal and sapphire, set in 18k yellow gold. This stunning design is priced at $38,500. It would look stunning on Rosamund Pike!

Takat crafted a spectacular diamond pendant with 59 carats of round diamonds and 4 carats of baguette diamonds, priced at $80,208. Nominee Meryl Streep would love this dramatic piece of art!

Sexy Bracelets
Reese Witherspoon added extra glamour to her Golden Globes gown with a sparkling diamond cuff bracelet and only small drop earrings. We will see more celebrities focus on accessorizing their wrists with intricate bracelet designs featuring architectural shapes, animal motifs, and colorful gemstones.

Vahan Jewelry showcases a yellow gold cuff with 3.65 carats of diamonds and blue sapphire in an animal design, priced at $41,500. This major piece is the perfect fit for fashion's "It Girl" Felicity Jones.

Beverly Hills' based designer Dena Kemp transforms the traditional tennis bracelets into a palm style with 25 diamonds, totaling 5.16 carats. Trendsetter Keira Knightley would rock this look!

Statement White Diamond Earrings
From Jennifer Lopez to Amal Clooney, large diamond earrings are the epitome of glamour and sophistication.

Kallati's diamond drop earrings from their "True Couture Collection" feature 2.5 carats of brilliant white diamonds set in 14k rose gold, priced at $22,000. We know that Kate Hudson would rock this look!

The Leo Diamond by Leo Schachter has a show-stopping pair of double hoop dangle earrings with 11.61 carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold, priced at $133,000. These diamonds are special because they are the first ones to be certified as visibly brighter. The fire, brilliance and scintillation of these diamonds are second to none…which is the reason why the gorgeous Julianne Moore should wear them!

LVE Diamonds from Schachter & Co., a division of Leo Schachter, are beautiful hand crafted triple zero hearts and arrows round brilliant diamonds set in a patented iconic design. For the SAG Awards, they are showcasing a pair of 17.75-carat diamond earrings. Notice the thread that weaves through the diamonds, representing life's journey - live love. Priced at $190,000, these earrings belong on the statuesque Julia Roberts.

Susan Eisen Fine Jewelry has been making a major splash on the red carpet. Their one-of-a-kind mobile chandelier earrings include 8 carats of sparking diamonds. Priced at $66,000, these earrings are edgy and opulent – perfect for Emma Stone!
