Some aspects of “Don’t worry, baby“guaranteed to leave viewers reeling: wild plot, those adventurous Harry Styles scenes, the haunting soundtrack, and the incredible performance of Florence Pugh. But as we exit the theater and even days later, we find ourselves dreaming of another, less-discussed detail: Alice Chambers’ stunning beauty engagement ring.
In The much-rumored psychological thriller, Pugh’s Alice wears a flashy diamond ring that’s hard to ignore as she drinks by the pool, shops with friends, cooks for Jack, her husband, and meticulously cleans the house from top to bottom. For starters, there’s the sheer size of the diamond, roughly the width of Pugh’s entire ring finger, but the cut is also incredibly unique. It is shaped like a rhombus, with four pointed ends accented by prongs – not nearly as common as other popular cuts, such as round, princess or oval. The gold strap is flat and set with smaller diamonds that extend from half of the main stone down to the bracelet. Overall, design doesn’t have to be signs of the 1950sthe decade in which much of the film is set, but nevertheless, it’s an incredible one.
Alice’s ring may have a deeper meaning beyond its apparent beauty. It fits her seemingly picture-perfect life ploy in the corporate town of Victory, where the sun is always shining and her main goal is to make sure dinners are cooked tender, windows are not damaged. stripes and bathtub. is spotless. In the real world, Alice’s husband is an unemployed, reclusive, shaggy-haired man who could never afford such a lavish piece of jewelry – perhaps it was a tool to please her and distract from growing doubts about the Victory simulation?
Finally – and this can be a long one, so listen to us – non-traditional diamond shape of the ring could also be a reflection of Alice’s willingness to go against the grain. Besides Margaret (KiKi Layne), she is the only one brave enough to call Frank (Chris Pine) for what he is: a liar, a misogynist, and a fraudster. And she is the only housewife to successfully escape the alternate reality alive (RIP Margaret).
Of course, these hypotheses are just that: hypotheses. We cannot confirm whether this is Costume designer Arianne PhillipsHer intentions, since she wasn’t available to discuss the matter with POPSUGAR, but those are interesting theories to mull over as you watch the movie. And even if you don’t buy in our opinion, the ring is undeniably a one-of-a-kind scene steal. Take a look at the outstanding work ahead.
