5 Celebs Who Made Ear Cuffs Look Effortlessly Cool

The 18th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) has officially kicked off and the RCB fans are yet again hopefully, or should I say delusional that the season trophy will come home this year. Bless your optimism, mate! But amongst the many familiar faces, one shiny thing caught my eagle eye- Shah Rukh Khan's sparkling ear cuffs. Not one but two!

Admit it. You were curious to know, what that bright piece of jewellery was. Well, I did a bit of digging and you know what ? That bling is a sliver and diamond Bvlgari ear cuffs from the brand's B.zero1 collection. The piece of accessory- a true MVP- with other statement pieces and the all black outfit made him elegantly effortless.

Its no surprise that SRK rarely missteps when it comes to his personal style and lately his looks have all been paired with an ear cuff. Is he hinting at a personal style evolution or setting a trend as growing number of men are looking to add jewellery beyond rings and bracelets to their fits?

A Quiet Rebel In Men's Jewellery?

Unlike earrings that often require commitment to needles or a piercing gun, ear cuffs are sidesteps to the commitment. It simply hugs your cartilage without the need to puncture a hole through the skin, making it convenient to take it off as and when you like. But I vote for a pierced ear cuff as it often stays secure. You don't need to worry about loosing it or have a sore cartilage from all the pinching.

Whatever you decide, ear cuffs whisper rebellion and sophistication. The small piece speaks volumes- might I add makes a man undeniably sexy- when clubbed with the right kind of attitude. It is a piece of jewellery that is a sort of a middle ground between rugged and refined. It bring attention to the cheekbones, and that chiselled jawline, making your facial features stand out.

Here are 5 celebs who make the ear cuff game look effortlessly cool:

Vijay Varma

Acclaimed Gully Boy and Jaane Jaan actor, Vijay Varma often makes the rounds of fashion circles for his taste. The actor has been spotted on occasions wearing ear cuffs that reflect his edgy and modern flair for fashion. Wearing behind the ear piece that clasps the cartilage from behind, Varma is not shy when it comes to pushing his creative boundaries.

Virat Kohli

Often adorning stud earrings, the Indian cricketer, Virat Kohli, has a pierced helix cuff on his left ear. A helix ear cuff is often worn on the upper or outer edge of the cartilage. You can choose between piercing or non-piercing pieces to wear.

Timothee Chalamet

Hollywood actor, Timothee Chalamet is a fashionista and has in the past worn ear cuffs. Often epxerimenting with unconventional siloutees, Chalamet often wears accessories to refelct his willingness to create influential menswear looks.

Jungkook

A BTS member, the K-Pop icon, Jungkook has multiple piercings and is seen wearing ear cuffs quiet often.

Robert Pattinson

Adding a distinctive touch to his attire, the Mickey 17 actor, Robert Pattinson has been seen flashing an ear cuff occasionally, including the 2017 Met Gala red carpet.

Historically, men's jewellery has been limited to minimalistic accessories- rings, and bracelets, and one ear piercing. While ear cuffs is a bold expression and symbolic of the unconventional yet edgy accessory, it still remains relatively low in the mainstream media despite its association with wealth and status in ancient Indian traditions beyond the gender construct.

So, in that sense SRK's choice of accessories at the inaugural event reflects the broader trend of redefining male accessories that express the modern fashion sensibilities encouraging experimentation.
