Los Angeles--It seems First Lady Michelle Obama has set a new style edict--one that's extending all the way to Hollywood--with a number of starlets following her inaugural lead and choosing one-shoulder gowns to wear to last night's Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.

To accentuate the look, actresses such as Teri Hatcher, Laura Linney and Evan Rachel Wood avoided adorning their necks and instead paired their asymmetrical gowns with drop earrings, rings or bracelets on one wrist.

Hatcher chose jewels from Neil Lane, including earrings with lapis, onyx and diamond, plus diamond and sapphire rings, and a huge diamond and rock crystal bracelet, all set in platinum. Wood went with Lane too, pairing a large lapis and gold bracelet with a platinum and diamond eagle pin featuring emerald and ruby accents. She topped it all off with a diamond, ruby and emerald ring.

Linney, meanwhile, winner of the SAG award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a miniseries or television movie, picked Cathy Waterman diamond bracelets, earrings and two diamond rings.

Another trend that made a mark on last night's red carpet was a proliferation of hoop earrings, which ranged from oversized and statement-making to small and simple.

Samantha Who?'s Christina Applegate went the statement-making route, pairing massive drop-style diamond hoops from Lorraine Schwartz with stacked diamond bangle bracelets and diamonds-by-the-yard necklaces. And actress Jane Krakowski also wore a drop-style hoop, pairing the 22-karat yellow gold and ruby earrings from Bochic with a matching bracelet.

On the other end of the spectrum, Angelina Jolie paired a relatively subdued gown with small hoops from Tiffany and Co., and 30 Rock's Tina Fey, one of the night's big winners, chose simple diamond-studded hoops from Judith Ripka.

Among the sea of diamonds, colored gemstones also held their own, from Lorraine Schwartz sapphires on Desperate Housewives' Marcia Cross to Bochic aquamarine cabochon earrings on Lisa Rinna. Nominees Amy Adams and Taraji P. Henson each looked to H. Stern for their color fixes. Adams picked the brand's "Nature" diamond earrings with amethyst and rose quartz drops, while Haraji chose the "Sunrise" bracelet and earrings in varying shades of citrine, from golden yellow to dark amber.
