At this season’s fashion shows and red-carpet events, one accessory has been a standout favourite: a classic jewelled brooch worn on a lapel or breast. Perhaps more surprising is the way these designs, typically associated with Grandma’s jewellery box, have been particularly championed by men.
Actor Paul Mescal wore a vintage Cartier pin to the Baftas. Actor and director Michael B Jordan wore rare Tiffany bird brooches to the Oscar ceremony last week. The Oscar winners for best actor and best supporting actor, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, both wore diamond brooches to collect their awards, while RRR star Ram Charan wore a lapel full of decorations that looked like medals.
