If you’re a fan of Bollywood cinema, you’ll already know that jewelry plays a significant role in the costume design. And even outside the film studio, Bollywood actresses are known for sporting some of the most beautiful, intricate jewelry pieces both on and off the red carpet. And when it comes to current trends, oversized earrings are becoming increasingly popular amongst our favorite actresses on the big screen.

In this blog, we’re going to take a look at some of our favorite Bollywood stars’ oversized earrings, while also giving you a guide on how to wear them yourself – and rock them no matter what look you’re going for! Let’s get started.

But first – what are the latest trends in gold chains in 2023? In this blog, we’re going to take a look at some of the most popular styles from both the runway and our favorite celebrities. Let’s take a look!

WHAT ARE OVERSIZED EARRINGS?

Oversized earrings – also often referred to as shoulder dusters – are exactly as they sound – earrings that are larger than your typical studs or pendant earrings. In both Bollywood and Indian culture as a whole, oversized earrings are a common fashion staple, and while they don’t always offer any cultural or symbolic meaning, they’re oozing in class, sophistication, and A-list flair.

BOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES AND OVERSIZED EARRINGS

A Bollywood favorite, Priyanka Chopra is known for her chic style – and that includes many innovative pairs of oversized earrings! In a 2018 photoshoot with Vogue, the Bollywood star sported a pair of shoulder-grazing earrings, complete with diamond studs and pearl detailing. As you can see if you click through to the article, Priyanka pairs her earrings with a bare-faced make-up look and minimalist clothing; the key to oversized earrings is keeping the rest of your outfit subtle, allowing the earrings to stand out on their own.

Actress Deepika Padukone is also a fan of oversized earrings, and has sported a variety of different styles on several occasions – in fact, it’s rarer to see Deepika wearing normal-sized earrings! In a recent photo shoot, she wore a large pair of double-pendant oversized earrings, which were deep emerald in color and complete with a gold diamond finish around the edges. Again, if you click through to the article, you can see that the actress completes the look with sleek, tied up hair and a simple yellow-gold sari. With both Priyanka and Deepika as examples, the key is to strike the perfect balance when wearing oversized earrings.

HOW TO WEAR OVERSIZED EARRINGS

When it comes to making the most out of your oversized earrings look, the key is finding the right balance; draw attention to one statement piece at a time and dress accordingly. If you’re wearing bold earrings, opt for understated clothing and keep any additional jewelry minimal, like delicate necklaces or thin bracelets – this will help draw all eyes towards your gorgeous statement earrings.

Alternatively, if you’re wearing intricate earrings with lots of detail, consider keeping the rest of your outfit toned down in color and texture in order to maximize their impact. Here are a few more tips for channeling your inner Bollywood star with your jewelry:

KEEP IT SIMPLE

Even though oversized earrings are a statement piece, they can be easily overpowered by lots of additional jewelry. To get the most out of your look, keep accessories and clothing minimal and let the earrings do the talking!

MIX THINGS UP

You don’t have to stick with traditional styles or materials – there’s plenty of room for experimentation! Whether you opt for mismatched studs in bright colors, dangling designs with pearl embellishments or statement hoop earrings, mix it up to find the perfect look.

GO FOR GOLD

Indian actresses are known for their intricate gold jewelry pieces, so it really wouldn’t make sense to opt for any other metal! Opt for high quality gold – such as 22 carat gold earrings – and enjoy that red-carpet-ready feeling.

COLOR MATCH – OR DON’T!

Oversized earrings look best when matched to other items of clothing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be daring! For a more subtle look, try wearing an outfit in the same color as your jewelry. For a more show-stopping look, choose contrasting colors to really make your statement pieces stand out.

GO FOR CLASSIC

To ensure that they remain timelessly stylish and fashionable, choose classic designs over trendy pieces when buying oversized earrings – this way, they won’t date and you’ll get plenty of wear out of them. They’re also the perfect accessory to add a bit of glamor and drama to any look, from formal wear to your favorite party dress. So go ahead – channel your inner Bollywood starlet and show off those stunning oversized earrings!
