When Angelina Jolie wore those stunning emerald earrings to the Oscars in 2009, I forgave every boring, black, Elvira-esque red carpet snorefest she made me endure from my glamorous spot on the sartorial sofa.
But the emerald glow has faded and, well, I just can't take it anymore.
If A-listers like Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston are going to "black pants suit" and "gold hoop" their way through their red carpet careers, I thought at least Angelina - that Brad Pitt-stealing, action-adventure-starring, minx of a movie star - would bring us the lower-jaw-drop moments we so desperately crave.Here she is in Los Angeles earlier this month for the Salt premiere. Black dress, diamond studs. Wake me when it's over.
Paris this week: Different dress shade, same diamond drudgery.
And in Berlin she didn't even bother!
Maybe she's making a statement that the woman who has everything shouldn't bask in the glory of a diamond tiara every time she makes a public appearance. But I'd settle for a chandelier earring from time to time - maybe a cuff?Is anyone else as bored as I am? Or do I need to spend time worrying about more important matters. Like the Vogue September issue?
