The F.A.B. Report: The Bold Gold Belt

by cheapchica11 on March 1, 2012

In the midst of award season, it’s safe to say that LBD’s  have become a uniform on the red carpet for many starlets, but the one accessory helping push the LBD from boring and basic to fresh and hot is a luxe gold belt.  And it can do the same for many of the basis you may have collecting dust in your closet!

I love how this accessory was used in Gucci’s 2012 Resort and Spring collections– it instantly heightens the edginess of each look and many of our favorite celebrities think so too…

Gwyneth Paltrow also looked stunning in Stella McCartney at the Grammy’s when she used a gold belt to turn a simple black dress into a sleek fashion forward ensemble.

Thandie Newton channeled a Greek Goddess with the addition of a metallic belt to her simple black asymmetrical  gown, while attending the Laureus World Sports Awards.

Then there was Zoe Saldana who choose to accentuate her waist with a bold metal piece, at the Cannes Film Festival.

If you’re looking for an instant wardrobe update – this affordable (check out this chic metal belt from B-Low The Belt priced at $68 – compared this almost identical belt from Gucci priced at $990) and easy to wear accessory may just be the trick!

I think the gold belt is a great way to add a little life to an outfit much like bracelets or earrings

I wouldn’t mind a snazzy gold belt to perk up some of my dresses!

I have a gold skinny belt I wear all the time. It’s adjustable so I can wear it at natural waist or hips. Got it from The Limited for 15 bucks. They usually have the belts but don’t know if they still have gold (got it mid last year), but it’s worth checking out!
