Get the Look: Celeb-Inspired Gold Belts

Princess Leia popularized the metallic belt in the 70s, but it’s fashion-forward celebs like Gwen Stefani, Katrina Bowden, and Nagore Aranburu who are making the gold belt trend happen now. They’ve been spotted adding a touch of glam to their red carpet LBDs (and LBlueDs) with gold belts.

At amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS benefit at Cannes, Gwen Stefani glittered in a black halter dress from her L.A.M.B. collection. The solid gold band belt enhanced her mermaid silhouette and perfectly matched her metallic nude lips. 30 Rock actress Katrina Bowden chose a wider woven gold belt to cinch her one-shoulder navy dress at the Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards, complementing her golden-blond locks. The trend is international, too; Nagore Aranburu, a Spanish actress and wife of soccer star Xabi Alonso, gave her cobalt column dress more shape with a bronze buckle belt which matched the hardware on her clutch. When accessorizing with a gold belt, take a cue from these celebs and make sure that the shade matches any other metallic elements in your outfit.
