90s Jewellery Is Officially Back, Thanks to Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid is not only one of the world’s top supermodels; she's also the ultimate trendsetter and Gen Z style icon.
The model—whose goals-worthy face has graced the covers of Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour and GQ—has walked for the biggest names in fashion including Chanel, Givenchy, Versace, Dior, Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren. And the list goes on.
As you may already know, the American model is the daughter of Dutch model Yolanda Hadid and Palestinian property developer Mohammed Hadid. Go figure, she's also the younger sister of fellow supermodel Gigi Hadid. Her enviable genes have led to unbridled success in her short 24 years with major contracts with Dior Beauty, Michael Kors and Mugler, to name a few.

With over 40 million Instagram followers, she's undeniably an influencer. Fans across the world are quick to adopt any look the model serves up. Hadid is most fondly known for her embodiment of all things 90s, wearing a wide range of accessories, from chunky rings to gold hoops, that capture the essence of the era. We took a look at some of the 90s jewellery trends that Bella loves to flaunt across her feed.
Bella Hadid's Best 90s-Inspired Jewellery
Maximalist Jewellery
The maximalist trend in which "more is more" has cropped up time and time again on Bella’s posts. Think accessories that border on costume jewellery: Colourful plastic rings, big bangles and even bigger earrings.
These kiddie-kitsch rings from La Manso are a firm favourite of the model, particularly this Yellow Knuckle Duster made from diverse plastic elements, with three gold ovals that sit on a broad rectangular base.

Name and Birthday Necklaces
Carrie Bradshaw’s signature name necklace became a jewellery icon of the 90s. And the model took note. Not only has Hadid been sporting her very own name necklace, but also a colourful B pendant. Another favourite scattered across Hadid’s Instagram is her 1996 birth year necklace.

Hoop Earrings

Oversized hoop earrings in both gold and silver were all the rage in the 90s, with J Lo championing the look over the decade. Bella has been spotted with various sized hoops, name hoops and even choosing to wear multiple hoops per ear.

Beaded and Shell Necklaces
The model frequently posts glamorous island holiday snaps and is often captured sporting seashells whether adorned to her bikini, worn as a belly chain or choker. Misshapen strings of beachy pearls are another top pick for the model, who has been seen wearing Aussie designer Jackie Mack on several occasions.
We love this Jackie Mack Luna Pearl Necklace with its gold plated chain and sustainable freshwater baroque pearl.

Stacked Bangles
Bella’s wrists are constantly adorned with stacks of gold bangles and chunky bracelets.
This set of three bangles from Jennifer Fisher is the perfect way to capture the look.
