Nashville, TN—Country/pop singer Shania Twain wore a pair of Dove’s earrings to the CMT Music Awards June 8. The earrings, from the company’s Midnight Rocks collection, are the most popular style in the collection, says company spokesperson Debbie Hakimian. Twain, who fell during the show, clearly had better luck with her choice of jewelry than her shoes. Luckily, she tweeted that she was more embarrassed than hurt by the spill. Separately, Caroline Manzo from The Real Housewives of New Jersey wore earrings from Dove’s Mocha Mosaic collection on this episode of the Today Show.
