Collars may have ruled at the Globes, but the Critics’ Choice Awards saw quite a few stellar pairs of earrings.
Best Actress nominee Awkwafina wore Irene Neuwirth’s one-of-a-kind carved flower mixed gemstone earrings that appeared to feature a variety of tourmalines in a tonal color story.
The colors were reflected in the actress’ dress and make-up, and further complemented with Irene Neuwirth rings.

We didn’t see Kristen Bell at the Globes and it’s unlikely she’ll appear at the Oscars, so the actress went for it at the Critics’ Choice Awards, where she was honored with the fourth annual #SeeHer Award, celebrating female role models who showcase authentic portraits of women.
Bell wore Forevermark hybrid ear cuff/diamond drop earrings in 18-karat white gold featuring two dangling lines of diamonds, a total of 13.02 carats.
She paired it with a 3.90-carat marquise-shaped diamond ring in 18-karat white gold.
The result was one of the best looks of the night.
