Wearing pearls and tiaras at Tiffany's? Way too cliche! Thursday night in New York City Rockefeller Center was A-List central thanks to the Blue Book Ball thrown by Tiffany & Co. Kate Hudson went for a mint shade of blue in a stunning dress by Reem Acra complete with a thigh-high slit and Tiffany earrings! Jessica Biel and Michelle Williams went for darker choices of blue, and then there was Gwyneth Paltrow who chose a silky greyish-shade of the hue. Leave it to Sarah Jessica Parker to pay homage to Tiffany jewels instead of blue. SJP rocked a blinged out gold lame gown and we loved it!
