These earrings pierce through the noise.
While stars have access to plenty of pricier jewelry pieces, Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera and Tracee Ellis Ross are among the many who’ve reached for Jenny Bird’s under-$160 Florence Hoops.
Just last month, Gomez donned her gold-plated pair for a photo shoot, marking at least the third time she’s publicly worn the hoops.
Meanwhile, the silver-plated version’s hit with the “Devil Wears Prada 2” cast; Emily Blunt styled hers with designer pieces for the Louis Vuitton Cruise show last week, nearly three years after her co-star Simone Ashley wore the same earrings to a Vogue World after-party.
Bird’s favorite Florence Hoop sightings also include Laura Dern and Sabrina Carpenter, as she told us, “It’s not about an age, it’s about women who want to stay looking current — and these two are at the heart of culture right now.”
As for why so many stars love the look? “My take on celebrities is that it’s really important for them to look current, so of course they’re going to find the brands that help them do it with ease,” Bird said, noting that her designs “walk that line” between sophistication and looking overtly trendy.
She’s continued to iterate on the Florence design since it first launched, dropping a two-tone option, a mini version and, most recently, the Monroe Earrings — a four-hoop design that also offers same multi-piercing illusion.
The latter ear climbers are already a celebrity hit, as Lola Tung’s been stepping out in the silver plated-option. (And having tried them myself, I can attest they’re an easy way to instantly elevate any outfit.)
But while a long list of A-listers has contributed to the hoopla over the Florence Hoops (and their variations), Bird’s not designing with Hollywood top of mind.
“I get most excited when I see a real woman who has spent her hard-working money wearing my pieces out in the world,” she said.
“It never gets old when I’m seated beside someone on a flight wearing my earrings and I get to tell her I designed them for her.”
