Silver is the metallic of choice this season, from the floral clips at Rodarte to Chanel’s shimmering nail polish. Start at the top with statement earrings: At Marni and Emilio Pucci, they were sculptural and shoulder-grazing; at Alexander McQueen, decorated with pearls. Phoebe Philo went long and linear at Céline, echoing the geometric style in cuff bracelets. When it comes to rings, platinum and diamonds are the ultimate combination. Look for a pavé band to add even more sparkle to a knockout stone in an emerald cut. Channel Elizabeth Taylor here: real or costume, the bigger, the better. For a more contemporary look, take a page from the Gucci show, where Alessandro Michele layered up in multiple cocktail rings in varying shapes and sizes. Re-create the runway style with three rings to a hand—minimum—and a mix of vintage and modern pieces.

BAZAAR Beauty Tip: For a wearable metallic eye look, dust on Dolce & Gabbana Smooth Eye Colour Duo in Femme Fatale, sephora.com.
Get crowned in bejeweled hair accessories, like those at Marc Jacobs, which adorned messy windswept tresses, or Saint Laurent, where Hedi Slimane got grungy with crystal tiaras. Glossy silver eye shadow offers a pretty beauty look, executed to perfection at Giorgio Armani. To master the technique, keep the rest of your face clean with dewy skin and a natural lip color. For a more hands-on style, try a futuristic manicure. Look to Rodarte, where silver made for a new version of the traditional French tip, or Jacobs’s glam glitter for inspiration. Of course, there’s cause to pile it all on, courtesy of Chanel, where Karl Lagerfeld’s airport-themed collection featured looks in head-to-toe metal—pewter nail lacquer, stacked necklaces, logo cuff bracelets, oversize barrettes, et al.—because all that glitters is not always gold.
