She's sporting an off shouldered red gown, her auburn tresses tied in an upswept bun. He admires her from head to toe and in mock dissatisfaction suggests something's amiss.

And then, in the tradition of true Hollywood romance, pulls out a jewel box carrying the most gorgeous ruby-diamond necklace to complete her look.

Now, wasn't that a memorable scene in Richard Gere-Julia Roberts starrer Pretty Woman?

Bottom-line: Nothing like a spectacular piece of bauble around the neck to make a girl's day.

Back in Bollywood, our ladies too, are all for snazzy, eye-catching statement necklaces on the red carpet. Take a look.

Kareena Kapoor

The Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu star may have put on some weight, perhaps for her role in Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine, but she certainly knows how to keep attention off it with a galaxy of uncut diamonds around her flawless neck.

You'll be forgiven for not remembering the last movie Sophie Choudry starred in.

But that dazzling necklace is much dramatic to overlook.

Normally, one doesn't mention Kajol and fashion in the same breath.

But the powerhouse performer sure gets brownie points for trying with her multi-strings ensemble that does a fairly good job of distracting us from that odd jumpsuit.

Especially if you team them against a flowy white gown like the lovely Lara Dutta.
