Kendall and Hailey have just confirmed that statement earrings are being superseded by this timeless party jewelry trend.
As the party season approaches, it seems that the most fashionable individuals are drawing inspiration from Matthew McConaughey’s character in *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*, choosing to "frost themselves." For those who may not be familiar with this classic romantic comedy, the phrase refers to adorning oneself with diamonds rather than opting for a cheap, sparkly outfit or heavily embellished dress. Even after two decades, this notion remains relevant, as seen with Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, who show the appeal of forgoing a bold earring or glittery footwear in favor of a sophisticated jewelry ensemble.
During a recent outing for Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed 70th birthday celebration, the supermodels-turned-business moguls brought the glamour in vintage gowns reminiscent of iconic characters like Pussy Galore or Honey Ryder. Kendall chose a sultry red slip dress from Roberto Cavalli, while Bieber donned a vintage black dress by Bob Mackie from the 1980s. Though their monochromatic styles differed, both opted for luxurious diamond sets featuring stud earrings and tennis necklaces. After all, friends who shine in jewels together, stay together, right?
This trend may be typical in Los Angeles, yet there's still insight to be gained from their coordinated jewelry moment. Both women selected large, rounded studs, a style currently taking precedence over more organic shapes like Bottega Veneta’s Drop earrings or Mejuri’s Dôme huggies, and paired them with elegant necklaces featuring triangular and round-cut gems. Given that the rest of their outfits were relatively understated (as much as archival fashion can be), their looks serve as reminders to be more thoughtful about our jewelry choices. Cocktail gatherings and luxurious soirées are always a chance to dress up, but why not let a stunning pendant necklace or eye-catching ear cuff take center stage instead? This polished yet evening-appropriate nod to Old Hollywood is something I'm wholeheartedly embracing as year-end events approach. In fact, this observation has solidified my belief that accessories truly make a significant impact, with a breathtaking or show-stopping jewelry set capable of revitalizing an ensemble you’ve relied on for years.
I’ve already started refreshing my jewelry collection with bolder pieces from brands like Jennifer Behr and Heaven Mayhem, including a delicate choker adorned with an Art Deco-style charm and crystal-decorated designs. Luxe and extravagant, browse through the following selection of statement jewelry to include in your party-season lineup, inspired by the most stylish figures in celebrity culture.
