It's worth watching this show that is «so bad it's good». Not just because Kim Kardashian and other actresses wear jewelry from houses like Verdura, Jacob & Co., Fred Leighton, Pasquale Bruni and Tiffany & Co. But also for the way the jewelry appears in the plot or reveals something about a character.
Hulu premiered the first three episodes of All's Fair on November 4. Created and produced by TV genius Ryan Murphy, new episodes air every Tuesday. These initial three episodes were worth watching all of them with the series. And they certainly made viewers (i.e. jewelry lovers) a fanatic.
Although the critics were «extremely negative» in their reviews of All's Fair, the rest of us love the incredible plots, over-the-top acting and amazing costumes - which include the jewelry.
Media outlets such as The New York Times, the Natural Diamond Council's Only Natural Diamonds and InStore magazine have already highlighted the event. Highlighting the diamond jewelry worn by the characters in many scenes. Only Natural Diamonds describes the All's Fair wardrobes as «power dressing» and one can't help but agree.
The All's Fair series revolves around an all-female divorce law firm. It stars Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts and Teyana Taylor. Other celebrities appear in surprise guest appearances. Such as Rick Springfield, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Elizabeth Berkley and Judith Light.
It's Light's character, Sheila Baskin, who brings perhaps the best jewelry collection ever shot for television. She's trying to divorce a psychologically abusive husband, and Liberty Ronson (played by Watts) comes to her house to help her.
The lawyer knows that all the jewelry given to her by Sheila's husband is her property. Their relationship was based on the exchange of jewelry for bad behavior. And the women are assembling the huge collection to put it up for auction. One particularly enviable piece: a dazzling vintage Verdura brooch with pink topaz, aquamarine, emeralds and diamonds.
Jewelry also steals the show when used as symbolic armor for the characters. Allura Grant, is Kardashian's tough but complicated lawyer. She wears a stunning Goddess Garden necklace by Pasquale Bruni in episode 1, looking very much like the bossy woman she is.
It's a fitting moment for Kardashian's character, who is catching the eye with her unique style. In the same episode, she wears a Roberto Cavalli dress backwards.
Another memorable and ridiculous scene is when Allura takes revenge on her colleague Milan (Taylor). Who is having a torrid affair with Allura's husband. Kardashian as Allura shows up at Milan's house wearing a canary dress that swirls around her like a storm of emotions taking over her, complete with a futuristic Constella necklace by Swarovski.
Spoilers: In this dress and necklace, Kardashian destroys Milan's car with a matching yellow bat.
Off screen, the cast was beautifully dressed for the premiere of All's Fair on October 16 in Los Angeles. Close wore jewelry by Neil Lane, a designer with a long history of dressing celebrities in diamonds.
