Once a year, the Vienna Musikverein is transformed into an elegant ballroom and provides a stunning backdrop for the Vienna Philharmonic Ball, an event which has been a highlight of this festive season in Vienna for several decades.
On January 24, the 78th Ball of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra attracted many illustrious guests from business, politics and society. Prominent participant from the world of classical music was Anna Netrebko.
Who knows me well, knows that I adore pearls; therefore, you can understand my amazement when I saw the superstar soprano with an Oscar de la Renta deep v-neck cape-back column velvet gown embellished with a single, only string of pearls.
Fabulous jewels (not with pearls … sob!) by Chopard, Hight Jewelery: a bangle bracelet with diamonds and aquamarine with diamond briolette earrings.
Absolutely classic and chic!
