$100,000 Good Luck Charm - Lana Marks Cleopatra Wins Oscars (GALLERY)
|
“In Hollywood during awards season the designer makes a limited-edition Cleopatra for only one actress,” repotred Forbes magazine. “Two have won Academy Awards while in possession: Charlize Theron in 2004 and this year Helen Mirren, who carried hers right up to the podium.”  Nominated for her work in "The Queen," Helen Mirren wore a haute couture $250,000 LANA MARKS Cleopatra Clutch at the 2007 Academy Awards Red Carpet. For the first time in recent memory, Helen Mirren, the winner of the Best Actress Academy Award has worn her handbag up to the stage to accept her Oscar. Helen Mirren wore her LANA MARKS Cleopatra Clutch up to the stage to accept her 2007 Best Actress Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen."
"Here I am with my purse..." Mirren said upon taking the stage to accept her award.
The LANA MARKS Cleopatra Clutch, an Art Nouveau creation -- designed by Lana J. Marks -- has 776 individually cut and set diamonds on an 18k yellow gold frame and was inspired by a royal tiara, incorporating scrolls, garlands, and collets with a coronation inspired crown -- a good luck charm for Mirren -- delicately placed in the front of this cream alligator handbag, taking a month to produce in four countries.
