Ariana DeBose made a stunning appearance at the launch of Foundrae’s United in Love collection in New York City on Wednesday. The actress, known for her Oscar-winning role as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s "West Side Story," showcased her vibrant personality and love for jewelry at the event.
DeBose, 34, expressed her excitement about the collection, particularly her fondness for the Dream medallion, a piece adorned with a star, arrow, and divine triangle. She shared her philosophy on jewelry, stating that she seeks pieces that resonate with her energy and help her manifest new dreams. "I look for pieces that have an energy that I want to enhance my day with," she said.
At the event, she opened up about her most treasured jewelry, including a pair of diamond earrings given to her by her grandmother. These heirlooms hold sentimental value and remind her of the importance of family connections. DeBose also reminisced about her experiences wearing exquisite pieces during her press tour for "West Side Story," particularly her fondness for Omega timepieces.
When it comes to gifting jewelry, DeBose has a soft spot for bangles. She appreciates their strength and presence, making them a perfect gift choice. Her style has evolved over time, moving from delicate pieces to bolder, statement-making jewelry. "For the longest time, I went for very dainty [pieces], and now, I’m embracing taking up space and making noise," she quipped.
The event was a celebration of love and creativity, with DeBose embodying the spirit of the collection. She encouraged others to embrace a maximalist approach to jewelry, suggesting that more can indeed be more. As she continues to shine in her career, DeBose’s passion for jewelry and personal expression remains a central theme in her life.
