With many of the royals of Europe are on vacation, I’ve decided to take a minute to remember the remarkable jewels and style of Lauren Bacall, who died yesterday at the age of 89. Bacall was one of my favorite actresses — if you haven’t seen How to Marry a Millionaire, drop everything right this minute and put it in your Netflix queue!
Like many of the Hollywood icons of her era, Bacall also wore jewels in a truly elegant way. She so loved jewels that she even helped to produce her own jewelry line, Bacall, in the 2000s. Here are a few of my favorite photos of a bejeweled Bacall — and then, seriously, go watch one of her films!
