Stars like Hailey Baldwin, Selena Gomez [1], and Jennifer Lopez [2] wear their gold hoops so often, we almost forget what it's like to see them earring-less. These ladies obviously have favourite jewellery designers [3] (Jennifer Fisher is a go-to [4]!), but it's less about the type of hoop they choose and more about knowing when to clip them on.
The nine women below are well aware when an outfit calls for the classic accessory, and they've proven that so many times over. We're taking tips from the pros when it comes to styling our baubles from now on.
Work a thin pair of hoops with an edgy leather trench dress, like Ashley Graham.
When, accessory-wise, it's all about the shoes, take a tip from Selena [6], and opt for your most classic hoop silhouette.
Show your faith or play up a theme with extra adornments. Miley Cyrus [7] accessorised her backless Stella McCartney gown [8] with Sydney Evan cross earrings at the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Met Gala.
Get playful, and embrace the mismatched look, like Tracee Ellis Ross, who paired a swirling chunky hoop with a single geometric chandelier.
Overemphasize your earring shape when you work a pair with simple sweats [9] and tie up your hair, just like Hailey Baldwin.
Graphic tees, boyfriend jeans, and midsize hoops are a classic combination, perfect for Emily Ratajkowski's shopping trip — or your own.
Allow your earrings to play up the wire rims of your sunglasses, especially when the outfit in question is all about those eye-catching accessories. Jennifer Lopez pulled off the look in monochrome orange [10].
A standard size hoop earring is so classic, you know you'll be able to wear it throughout an entire holiday. So that they don't get mixed up in your luggage, just wear them on the plane, like Bella Hadid.
Draw attention to a personalized pair of gold hoops with a thin turtleneck, which will attract eyes upward. Yara Shahidi [11] has the right idea.
