At the Topshop flagship store opening in Las Vegas earlier this year, actress Kristen Bell wore a head-to-toe look by the label. Her striped sequin top and fringe skirt were eye-catching on their own, but her gold fringed bib necklace was the icing on the cake. Look for tribal-inspired designs in heavy metals with chain and enamel details.

Katherine Heigl looked perfectly pulled-together while meeting a friend for lunch in West Hollywood. She color-blocked in an aqua dolman-sleeve top and cobalt jeans, contrasting the blues with tan leather accessories. Her chunky lapis Stella & Dot necklace tied the palette together, adding a subtle Southwestern feel which tied in with the studs on her leather bag.

At the NYC premiere of Safe, Olivia Palermo took a risk by layering two necklaces over an already bold tropical-print Zara dress. The way the turquoise and gold necklaces pick up subtle colors in her dress makes it work. Palermo’s necklaces were vintage and Carerra y Carrera, but you can try layering two necklaces you already have at home. Choose one chunkier necklace and offset it with a more delicate style, making sure that their lengths are slightly staggered.
1. Magda Metallic Lace-Up Shoes - $60; 2. Mojave Moon Green Turquoise Nugget Necklace - $216; 3. Mango Tail Hem Tropical Dress - $59.99; 4. Accessories Boutique The Tiger Necklace - $11.95; 5. Jigsaw Derby Clutch - $170
