Those not nominated for an Oscar can take heart – this season’s array of golden alternatives would make Midas smile. Jean Paul Gaultier’s shimmering robe-style gown (worn by Kim Kardashian at the Grammy Awards earlier this month) was a couture-week highlight, while By Malene Birger’s metallic silk sateen coat is an everyday take on the look. Cutler and Gross’s circular gold-flecked frames and Happy Plugs’s polished earbuds make for equally gilty accessories. And Rodial’s body soufflé actually contains pure liquid gold. Talk about setting a 24-carat standard.
