The Oscars – Is Less Bling a Good Thing?

The Oscars are known for uber-glamor and decadence. But during these tough economic times, how can a star shine, while showing some sensitivity and awareness to our current situation. Certainly, there was less bling to be seen in general. The choices were more selective and simpler, yet glamorous nonetheless.

So while overblinging may be taking a backseat as we all watch our collective wallets, stunning jewelry still can be seen, just a little more on the "simple and effective" side.

As one commentator put it: "It's a recession, not an apocalypse."

Here's a few examples of bling on stars, even during penny-pinching times:
