Fashion From the Wrists Down: Hands Get Adorned

When it comes to hands, one big statement — like a giant rock or some nail art — used to be more than enough to get a woman through an event. But during fashion month and awards season, stars (street-style and otherwise) wore fistfuls of jewelry. In some cases their entire hands were hidden under pounds of diamonds and chains reminiscent of armor and traditional Indian designs. Wristlet straps were styled beyond functionality, and mismatched metals highlighted knuckles. Click through the slideshow ahead for fake-finger nail rings, pearls that match hand tattoos, and Rihanna’s diamonds on every single finger.
