There's a new accessory hierarchy this season, and it starts at your feet. Anklets have quietly become the thing every stylish woman is reaching for, whether she's dressing for a wedding sangeet or a beach day in Ibiza. And Hollywood is very much on board.
The Celebrity Stamp of Approval
From red carpets to vacation snaps, Hollywood's biggest style icons are proving that anklets are no longer an afterthought. Here's how each celebrity is putting their own spin on the trend.
Hailey Bieber's Minimalist Gold Anklets
Hailey Bieber has been wearing anklets long before they became one of fashion's biggest accessories again. Her signature style revolves around ultra delicate gold chains paired with pointed pumps, kitten heels and barely there sandals. Recently, she added a sentimental twist with a personalised anklet featuring her son Jack's name, proving that jewellery can be both meaningful and effortlessly chic. If you love understated luxury, Hailey's take is the blueprint.
Rihanna's Bold Statement Anklets
If anyone can make an anklet feel high fashion, it's Rihanna. She has stepped out wearing chunky chain anklets layered over strappy heels and even transformed a diamond watch into an anklet, instantly making the accessory feel daring and unexpected. Her styling proves that anklets are no longer reserved for beach holidays. They can be dramatic, glamorous and worthy of a night out.
Gigi Hadid's Beach Girl Aesthetic
Gigi Hadid embraces anklets in the most relaxed way possible. Whether she's on vacation or off duty, she pairs delicate chains and beaded styles with sandals, flip flops and breezy dresses. Her effortless styling captures the carefree spirit that first made anklets popular, making them the perfect finishing touch for sunny escapes and casual summer dressing.
Kendall Jenner's Quiet Luxury Approach
Kendall Jenner proves that less really is more. She often chooses slim gold or silver anklets layered with minimalist jewellery, creating a polished look that never feels overdone. Styled with loafers, sandals or sleek heels, her approach fits perfectly into the quiet luxury trend and works for everyday wear just as well as evening looks.
Sydney Sweeney's Romantic Vacation Style
Sydney Sweeney has embraced the growing beach jewellery trend by pairing dainty anklets with feminine dresses, bikinis and flat sandals during her holidays. Her styling feels soft, romantic and effortlessly glamorous, showing how a simple anklet can elevate even the most relaxed outfit.
The Anklet Styles Everyone Is Shopping Right Now
Pearl Perfection
If your accessory mood is quiet luxury, pearls are your answer. Think freshwater pearl charms dangling off a gold-plated chain, or pearl and kundan tassel drops in a set of 2 that bring old-world grace to a modern silhouette. These anklets sit somewhere between bridal and everyday, delicate enough for a brunch, festive enough for a sangeet. Pair them with sarees or flowy dresses for that Hailey-Bieber-meets-Indian-bride effect.
Beaded and Bold
Beaded anklets are having a full '90s rave revival globally, and the Indian versions are just as fun. A mint beaded anklet set or a red and green beaded pair on gold-plated brass bring a playful, festival-ready energy. These are your Holi, mehendi, and beach-vacation pieces, easy to stack, easy to layer, and endlessly Instagrammable with bare feet and juttis alike.
Gold Plated, Always Right
Gold plated anklets are the most versatile of the lot; think a stone and bead embellished toe-ring anklet or a geometric carved cutwork set with bead tassels that channel a very Indian bridal charm. These work beautifully for weddings and festive dressing, striking that balance between statement and subtle sparkle.
Silver Sophistication
For everyday, cooler-toned dressing, sterling silver anklets are the move. An adjustable, twisted-chain sterling silver anklet or a sleeker silver design feels fuss-free and Western in spirit, perfect with jeans, western dresses, or even a crisp kurta. This is the category to reach for when you want something you can wear daily without a second thought.
Western and Statement-Making
Then there's the fusion-forward edit: a molten metal beaded anklet and a pearl-and-stone drop pair that don't play by traditional rules. Gold-toned, textural, and slightly sculptural, these are for the girl who wants her anklet to do the talking at a cocktail night or a resort dinner, no saree required.
Whether you're channelling Rihanna's chunky chain energy or keeping it demure like Hailey Bieber, there's an anklet category here for every mood and every occasion. Shop the edit, and let your feet do some talking this season.
