In the ever-evolving world of fashion, some trends resurface stronger and more stylish than ever before. 2025 has officially declared the return of one such statement accessory: the brooch. No longer reserved for vintage collectors or royal family traditions, brooches are now being reimagined with modern flair—and both men and women are wearing them with bold confidence.
From red carpets to streetwear, the brooch has emerged as the surprise hero of this year’s fashion moments. Here are the top 5 celebrities who are redefining how we wear this timeless yet edgy accessory.
1. Zendaya – Brooch Elegance with a Twist
Zendaya set the bar high at the 2025 Critics’ Choice Awards, wearing a structured white tuxedo with a crystal-studded snake brooch delicately pinned to the lapel. The look struck the perfect balance between power and grace. Styled to perfection, Zendaya made it clear: brooches aren’t just an accessory—they’re a fashion statement.
🛍️ Trend Tip: Pair a single oversized brooch with minimalist tailoring for a clean, confident look.
