Daniel Lawson, Costume Designer
When it comes to knowing what gowns are likely to dazzle, Academy Award-nominated costume designer DANIEL LAWSON is the guy for the job: He spent his college years as a theatre major (who did double-duty as the resident wardrobe expert), and moved on to Broadway, post-grad. Today, he dresses a veritable who's who for the golden screen from Leo and Kate in Revolutionary Road to Julianna Margulies in the edge-of-your-seat drama The Good Wife. We tapped him for a list of jewelry essentials that can transform an outfit from backstage to center stage in a snap.
