A Night At Joe’s Pub
Betty Buckley took the stage at Manhattan’s Joe’s Pub for an intimate residency run last week, delivering her signature blend of storytelling and song. In between heartfelt renditions, the Tony Award–winning star paused to spotlight an accessory that stole its own share of the spotlight: a layered stack of three vintage necklaces.
The Necklace Designer: Jordan Lavalle
Buckley shared an Instagram post praising jewelry maker Jordan Lavalle (@jordyslavalle), writing, “Jordan Lavalle made the beautiful, blessed necklaces that I wore at Joe’s Pub residency! Thank you, Ms. Jordy! ❤️ Everything she makes is one of a kind, re conceived, re designed vintage pieces! These are three necklaces layered. Such beautiful jewelry! 🤩 😍 @mymothersdaughterca Order your own one of a kind pieces!” Lavalle is known for reworking vintage chains and charms into fresh, wearable art—each necklace in Buckley’s trio tells its own story, melding antique links with modern accents.
Betty Buckley’s Musical Legacy
With a career spanning five decades on stage and screen, Buckley’s choice to feature artisan jewelry was no mere fashion flourish. Since winning the 1983 Tony Award for her role as Grizabella in Cats, she has performed across Broadway, in film and television, and released several solo albums. Her Joe’s Pub shows—part intimate concert, part personal memoir—have earned praise for spotlighting seldom-heard numbers alongside Broadway favorites.
Vintage Meets Vogue
Fans at Joe’s Pub responded to Buckley’s layered look as enthusiastically as her vocals. “Those necklaces are stunning,” tweeted one attendee after the show. “Betty’s style game was on point.” Lavalle’s design process involves sourcing vintage materials—often from private collections—and reimagining them with carefully chosen clasps, pendants or stones. The result is a heirloom-quality statement piece, custom-fit for each wearer.
Upcoming Appearances
Instagram posts from Joe’s Pub and Mercyhurst University, where Buckley served as artist-in-residence, reveal plans for summer performances. Buckley will headline The Arts Project of Cherry Grove on Fire Island on Saturday, June 28 at 8:00 p.m., followed by a meet-and-greet on June 29. She continues to Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Monday, June 30 at 8:00 p.m. Fans can find tickets and more details at artsprojectcg.org and baystreet.org.
From facets of her repertoire to facets of her jewelry, Betty Buckley’s Joe’s Pub residency proved a sparkling convergence of music and style—a pairing that left as lasting an impression as her unforgettable voice.
