Tina O'Brien on the Red Carpet

[pearlescence]

We were asked last week by her stylist to put together a couple of very simple pearl looks for actress Tina O'Brien to wear on the red carpet for the National Soap Awards last night (Saturday- on TV tonight) The brief was that the dress was a show stopper so the pearls had to be simple but elegant. Tina was going to have a big up-hair-do.
With that in mind we offered some big drops or big studs in pale natural colours and natural colour fw pearls for a couple of bracelets. We think she looked totally stunning and would have been the belle of any red carpet, even Oscars in Hollywood. (Dress by Nadine Merabi ...trail of feathery bits as she walked by Tina)


And I've just had a tweet from Tina to say that she nearly cried when she got home and had to take everything off. Nice to be a part of making someone feel so special.
