Bollywood Stars Bring Brooches Back Into Fashion
Brooches are back: How Shah Rukh Khan, Tamannaah Bhatia and Bollywood are making the accessory cool again · indianexpress.com

Brooches are decorative jewellery pieces that can be pinned onto clothes.

They were once mostly worn at formal events.

Now, Bollywood celebrities are helping make them fashionable again.

Shah Rukh Khan wore a sparkling brooch at the 2025 Met Gala.

Saif Ali Khan wore a detailed bird-shaped brooch from Tiffany & Co.

Tamannaah Bhatia also wore a statement brooch with a designer outfit.

People like brooches because one piece can change an outfit without making it look too heavy.

They can be worn on traditional clothes, western clothes, or even everyday shirts and jackets.

Experts say brooches can also feel special because they may carry stories and be passed down through families.

Quotes

Prerna Khurana

Director at Khurana Jewellery House

“People are looking for jewellery that can add something different to their outfit without making the entire look heavy. A brooch does exactly that. It can be a small detail, yet completely change the look. I think this mix of traditional jewellery with modern styling is one of the reasons brooches are becoming popular again.”

“Brooches naturally fit into this movement because they often tell a story and can be passed down through generations. What makes them especially relevant today is that they are not restricted by age, gender or occasion.”
