The Celebrity Secret to Cool-Girl Glamour? Ear Cuffs!
Photo: Getty Images1/7Spotted on runways and red carpets galore, ear cuffs are pretty much the coolest accessory at the moment. They’re just as dazzling as a set of statement earrings, but with waaaaaaaay more attitude. And in addition to topping off any holiday party ensemble with a little punky polish, they’re also a super simple way to add a little edge to your outfit—and the beauty of this asymmetrical accessory is that it doesn’t require extra piercings.
Even better? Pulling one off is a cinch. Opt for an elaborate piece like Rita Ora’s to make a standalone statement, or pop on a few petite hoops for a layered look like Rihanna’s. And remember, donning a cartilage-hugging hoop doesn’t mean ditching your regular earrings entirely—just take a look at Bella Thorne’s stacked lobes.

Individually, these petite cuffs are subtle accents—but when stacked, they create one bold accessory that suits Rihanna's high-impact style. Normally, it's wise to choose between statement earrings or a necklace instead of wearing both together, but the star proves that the same rules don't apply to this trend—these pair perfectly with her sparkly choker.

Pearls and high-shine stones make for one show-stopping accessory. Although a pair of chandeliers would also suit the high neckline on her dress, Rita's elaborate bauble is far cooler and edgier.
