Sarah Jessica Parker wears Erickson Beamon necklaces at last night’s Point Foundation Honors The Arts at Capitale,NYC

While not the kind of die-hard SJP worshipper that some of my colleagues are (the most devoted of the bunch has a photo of Carrie Bradshaw’s expansive closet as her screensaver. For reals! That is love!), I can appreciate her styling prowess. For instance, last night she stepped out (along with her Sex & the City cohorts and West Village neighbors Gwyneth Paltrow and Helena Christensen) wearing a simple satin dress and three bold necklaces from Erickson Beamon.

Now, the statement necklace trend has hanging around for some time, dripping off runway all-stars and red-carpet regulars with a high fashion I.Q. —like SJP herself—for good reason: One easy piece can gussy up every thing from jeans to simple shift dresses. Plus, the kookier the piece, the less you have to worry about finding a garment of the same hue, era, etc. (As and added bonus, long lariats like SJP’s tend to elongate the figure—a trick that comes in handy when you’ve got paparazzi nipping at your Louboutin heels!) Should you want to channel her highness on your next SATC-infused evening (You know, when you slip into some multi-hued get-up and transform into one cocktail-swilling, snarktastic flirt. Don’t deny it!), try one or two of these cosmopolitan stunners instead of the locket/name in script/charm of your homestate necklace you usually wear:
