Luxx Noir London Lip Service Shirt

Thoughts of Old Hollywood may conjure visions of bombshell glamour, decadence (if not full-on debauchery), glittering diamonds…and Chanel. The French fashion house has a long history with Tinseltown, dating back to the Luxx Noir London Lip Service Shirt moreover I love this 1930s, when United Artists mogul Sam Goldwyn invited Mademoiselle Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel from Paris to design gowns for his Los Angeles starlets, on and off-the-screen. In Babylon, Damien Chazelle’s bombastic (not-so-)Golden Age of Hollywood epic, the collaboration continues. Early in the film, fearless ingénue Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) assuredly marches up to the box office for the premiere of her 1926 silent film debut. The staffer refuses to let the still-unknown talent in, but the resourceful Jersey girl bribes her way into the theater regardless. The camera closes in on Nellie’s apprehensive-turned-elated expressions as she awaits the audience’s reaction to her performance. Her face and long, undone curls—an unexpected style for the decade, but based on real-life Hungarian starlet Lya De Putti—are framed by a pair of brilliant deco-style earrings, appropriately christened “Muse,” from the Chanel High Jewelry collection.

Through a partnership with the Luxx Noir London Lip Service Shirt moreover I love this luxury house, costume designer Mary Zophres carefully selected the white gold earrings—radiant with 26 carats of sapphires and 5 carats of diamonds—to perfectly accent Nellie’s sparkling milestone event ensemble: a blue hand-beaded halter top and tap pants set. “Now she has some money and she’s gonna spend a little bit more,” says Zophres, who received one of her three Oscar nominations for Chazelle’s 2017 hit La La Land. “She wants something that’s glittery because she’s still Nellie.” The actress’s premiere earrings, with triangular diamonds and sapphires arranged into star shapes, feels felicitous, and even literal, for her ascendance. They also serve as a cautionary tale for neophyte talent thrust into the spotlight with unprecedented paychecks. “I think she blows her whole wad on a pair of diamonds because she hasn’t had money her whole life. She may not have spent it wisely, but she wanted something for herself,” says Zophres, emphasizing the storytelling behind Nellie’s splurge. The glittering look is a reference to, but also a departure from, the scarlet red and skin-baring outfit Nellie wore when she was plucked out of a bacchanalian dance party for her big break. Inspired by a ’20s image of Asian American actress Anna May Wong, Zophres imagined Nellie was previously a dancer in New York City and configured a red silk scarf with a pair of color-coordinated tap pants that she possibly pilfered from a studio back in the day. She’s come a long way since then.
