Are Gold Hoops the New Power Accessory?

Like the stiletto heel and bold red lip before them, yellow gold hoops have become a fashion essential for the world's most powerful women. Even though the iconic accessory dates back as far as 2500 BC, the classic earring has also emerged as a go-to accessory for the woman in charge, including Michelle Obama, Venus Williams, AOC, and Rihanna. And now that this circular style is offered in a variety of versions with affordable price points, we think it's def worth adopting (if you haven't already). Shop these sleek and sharp buys that are clearly destined for greatness — just like you.
