Rihanna Stuns with a Chopard Diamond Necklace at Diamond Ball Charity Event

Rihanna was the belle of the ball on Thursday night at the first-ever annual Diamond Ball at The Vineyard. The sexy singer hosted the event, which benefits Riri's The Clara Lionel Foundation, which was founded in 2012 in honor of the singer's grandparents, Clara and Lionel Brathwaite.

While several A-listers attended the event, Rihanna was the most stunning of them all, wearing a very elegant Zac Posen fall 2014 gown in a dramatic deep rose hue. The off-shoulder number features bold shoulders, a short train, and a lovely pleated detail. The gown hugged Riri's curves perfectly in a mermaid silhouette. This might just be her most elegant look of the year!

What made this look more outstanding was the jaw-dropping Chopard tourmaline-and-diamond necklace, which was just the perfect piece of accessory to finish the pop singer's glamorous ensemble. To amp up the glam even more, Rihanna added matching rings and an intricate ruby cuff around her tattooed wrist.

Jewelry Spotting at the 2014 DVF Awards

Several powerful and stylish women attended the 2014 DVF Awards on Friday (April 4) held at the United Nations Headquarter in New York. Diane von Furstenberg was joined by other fabulous women like Alicia Keys and SJP to celebrate and honor female empowerment.

Aside from the chic ensembles, there were also loads of gorgeous and on-trend jewelry pieces that we spotted. So, we headed to one of our favorite shopping sites Shopbop, to find the best alternatives to these A-list jewelry pieces.

Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys, who was honored with the Inspiration Award that night, opted for a simple but classic pair of diamond stud earrings. We just love this choice because regardless of the season and even the outfit, they will always be a timeless piece that gives effortless sophistication.

Kate Spade New York Cueva Rosa Stud Earrings, $48

Wendi Murdoch

Businesswoman Wendi Deng Murdoch sported gorgeous three-tiered link diamond earrings. The sparkly jewelry was loaded with diamonds and obviously looks pretty expensive. We found a great alternative that has a similar look, minus the diamonds.

Kate Spade New York Estate Garden Linear Earrings, $98

Sarah Jessica Parker

To match her glittering gold frock, SJP wore an equally sparkly tennis bracelet with huge diamond stones. She also added a couple of rings to amp up the look even more.

Kenneth Jay Lane Cushion Cut Tennis Bracelet, $179

Diane von Furstenberg

Our favorite jewelry piece of the night was worn by none other than Diane von Furstenberg herself. She wore festive-looking statement earrings that had a large teardrop blue stone that was surrounded with smaller accent stones of different colors.

Wear Army-Style Jackets — Follow the Lead of Fashion Bloggers

Aside from leather moto jackets, there's another way to channel a more masculine and tougher vibe in your outfits: go the army route! Yes, hunter green parka jackets and camouflage prints are making a comeback.

If you remember, they were pretty big a few seasons ago, but the interest on army style dissipated. Lately, however, it looks like the fashion industry has renewed its fascination with military-inspired outerwear, so they're back in full force!

We are totally getting inspiration from the following fashion bloggers who are also smitten with the military trend:

1. Karla from KQ S Style

It's easy to love Karla's ingenious play on the army trend. You can tell she took inspiration from it, but her look is not overly masculine. She paired her jacket with earth-tone pieces to keep the look cohesive but threw in a hat for that extra edgy look.

2. Aika from Aika's Love Closet

Aika managed to make the camo jacket look chic by wearing it with denim shorts and a layered top. It also takes good accessories to make this look work. Aika threw in a pop of red with her bag and a little Perspex with her pair of shoes.

3. Flavia from Fashion Coolture

I suspect Flavia can wear a flour sack and make it look stylish. She looks polished from head to toe in an army-style jacket and a leather ensemble.

4. Marilyn from Messages on a Napkin

Marilyn layered a floral dress over a denim one, and then capped off the look with an army-style jacket! Very clever. It works, too! It's a wonderful summer style to covet if you are feeling a tad adventurous.

5. Meri from Meri Wild

Army jackets too warm for the summer? Try army vests like what Meri is wearing in this photo. She definitely had spunky and grungy in mind when she came up with this outfit as there are a lot of tough elements in it. Pile on accessories like statement necklaces and bracelets for a more street-style vibe to your army-inspired ensemble.

Inspired by these bloggers? You, too, can rock the army trend. Here are some pieces to snap up:

Kelly Wearstler Burrow Denim Blazer, $135

One Teaspoon Cry Tough Duffle Jacket, $152

Rag & Bone M15 Moto Jacket, $795

MINKPINK Patrol Anorak, $124

April, May Cami Camouflage Jacket, $198.80

Free People Printed Blazer, $64

Michelle Trachtenberg in Several Shades of Gray

No, Michelle Trachtenberg isn't going to be cast in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. She was just literally in an all-gray ensemble. Despite this monochrome outfit, though, Michelle looks downright chic.

She could be easily mistaken for her Gossip Girl alter ego, Georgina Sparks. Who knew an all-gray ensemble could look so chic?

I can't really see if she was wearing a dress or a top and a matching hi-lo skirt, but she paired this up with a chic printed blazer. The classic blazer prevented this outfit from looking too ho-hum. Plus, it also gave Michelle a classy and business-chic aura. I think this is a look one can pull off any day, whether for work or for play.

Too bad I haven't been able to find out from which brand or label the actress' blazer is. But if you are going to achieve a similar look, you'll want to check out the following:

Her first jewelry line named Mattlin Era was launched last year. Aside from that, the Twilight alum has also been collaborating with other lines for capsule collections.

We spotted Nikki at 7-Eleven’s 86th birthday party wearing a simple Gypsy 05 maxi dress, which she styled with a 7 for All Mankind necklace.

Do Crystals Really Have Healing Power?

You’ve probably seen this somewhere - retailers selling crystal jewelry and claiming that they have healing powers. There are even crystal healers who offer holistic treatments to cleanse your body and spirit of bad energy.

Some New Age healing practitioners believe that these stones are magical and help alleviate stress, cure diseases, and even enhance psychic abilities. There are several types of crystal stones, and each is thought to provide different effects. Crystal healers say that believers are more likely to experience the benefits and powers of crystal stones.

Aside from their famous reputation of being able to heal, crystal stones are also a fashionable form of jewelry. They are incorporated in different pieces - earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets for a classic, timeless look. Some are also mixed with other gemstones that are believed to protect or bring luck to the wearer.

Whether there is truth to the power of these stones, we can’t argue about how beautiful they look when placed on accessories. If you want to try these interesting stones, check out the following crystal-infused pieces we found:

Top: Shashi Crystal Bangle Bracelet, $80; Bottom: Bing Bang Crystal Skull Cuff, $135

Heather Hawkins Crystal Point Necklace, $155
