(IDEX Online News) – The Academy Awards is always an occasion to go all out in terms of fashion and accessories, a fact not lost on Chinese superstar Li Bing Bing, who carried an alligator skin Cleopatra clutch, accented with diamonds and gold to the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar viewing party and dinner.
The front contour of the white Louisiana alligator skin bag, which was created by American designer Lana J. Marks, was handcrafted of 40 carats of white diamonds set in 18-karat white gold. As an added detail, Bing’s name was rendered in pink diamonds, creating extra sparkle and adding to the bag’s $400,000 price tag.
Each year, Lana Marks chooses a celebrity to carry her yearly signature Lana Marks Haute Couture handbag/evening clutch.
"I am so thrilled to have this extraordinary friendship and collaboration with China's number one movie superstar Li Bing Bing and to have created this haute couture silver Louisiana Alligator white and pink diamond pave Cleopatra clutch for China's 'First Lady'," said the designer.
