Vanity Fair totaled up Cindy McCain’s outfit from the first night of the Republican convention.

Cindy McCain
    Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
    Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
    Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
    Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000-$25,000
    Shoes, Taryn Rose: $475
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

That is a LOT of jewelry! Maybe it was loaned to her like how stars get jewelry loaned to them on Oscar night. She can’t possibly own a pair of $280K earrings….can she?

They also estimated Laura Bush’s look, which was also by Oscar de la Renta:

Laura Bush
    Oscar de la Renta suit: $2,500
    Stuart Weitzman heels: $325
    Pearl stud earrings: $600-$1,500
Total: Between $3,425 and $4,325

Jessica Biel attended last night’s ESPY awards to support her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, as he hosted the show.

Jess sports what looks to be a fabric necklace…is there such a thing? We’re dying to know who makes the neck piece and how much it costs. Was it an old turtle neck she decided to snip? A head wrap that’s slipped off her head perhaps?

What kind of fabric is it? Cotton? Jersey?

We’ll be definitely be keeping an eye on her to see if she sports this look again anytime soon. She should - it could start a new trend.

But will it catch on?

There’s a playful quality to the dress Rachel Bilson wore to the Awake premiere in New York City, but her look is still sophisticated and polished. The asymmetrical and geometric elements give the look a youthful vibe we really dig.

Jessica Biel loves her Year of the Dog NeckLace from the Gold Label by Tina Tang and so do we!

The simple and stylish Zodiac dog necklace is 14kt yellow gold and is inscribed with the words “Honest” and “Loyal” on the reverse side. The necklace costs $550, but it’s her favorite everyday necklace. She was spotted out and about with Justin Timberlake…and her dogs - always wearing her Tina Tang necklace. The necklace is a perfect choice for Jess since she was born in 1982 (a dog year on the Chinese Zodiac).

Tina Tang also offers less expensive sterling silver versions of her designs at tinatang.com.
