‘Don't feel like you have to stop at one': the shiny, thrifty brooch revival
The white gold and diamond brooch set like a moving snake was not the first time Zendaya wore the jewellery category most associated with grandmothers. But due to its placement, it might have been the most talked about. In attendance at the Met gala, the Dune actor pinned the Bulgari brooch to the back of her white Louis Vuitton suit. 'The Met Gala really was prime time for brooches,' Melbourne stylist Stuart Walford says. While fashion critics have heralded the brooch's return to menswear for several seasons, lately it has found its way to women's lapels too. Also at the Met Gala, Sarah Snook pinned a cluster of silver brooches from Rahaminov Diamonds and Saidian Vintage Jewels to her blazer, Aimee Lou Wood and Doja Cat both wore brooches in the shape of flowers covered in tiny diamonds (by Cartier and David Webb respectively), while the event's host, Anna Wintour, complimented her pale blue suit with an antique brooch by Lydia Courteille. At the SNL 50th reunion Tina Fey wore an art deco T-shaped brooch, Cynthia Erivo wore several to the 56th NAACP Image Awards and, more than once, the fashion writer Leandra Medine Cohen has featured a 1930s Jean Cocteau fish pin on her Substack, The Cereal Aisle. The brooch also remained the accessory of choice for men at the Oscars with Kieran Culkin, Adrien Brody and Colman Domingo prettifying their suits with ones shaped like tear drops, feathers and ribbons – in that order. Perhaps unsurprisingly given their prominence on the red carpet, it's hard to find a major fashion house that doesn't have a brooch in its recent collections, from Gucci to Loewe and Schiaparelli. In Australia, designers Carla Zampatti, Edward Cuming and Mimco are also selling brooches. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning For Sydney jeweller Lucas Blacker, a brooch is 'almost like a tattoo'. 'It is a sign from the wearer to show their personality,' Blacker says. At his studio, Black Cicada, he is seeing more clients wanting to repurpose inherited jewellery or pieces they aren't wearing by turning them into brooches. Olivia Cummings, the jewellery designer behind Cleopatra's Bling, says: 'Brooches require care in their placement and a sense of ceremony in their wearing. I think people are craving that now.' The personal statement brooch has deep roots, evolving from simple pins used to hold garments closed in the bronze age to intricate adornments that communicated class, religion and marital status in ancient Rome. In the 18th and 19th centuries, brooches became the original Instagram-holiday-post, featuring micro mosaics of the European tourist towns they were bought in. More recently, the brooches of Madeleine Albright and Queen Elizabeth II were rumoured to carry coded messages. 'Brooches are conversation starters, that's what makes them so special,' Walford says.

The financial appeal is twofold: they are a great item to thrift and they help the wearer freshen up their existing wardrobe without buying an entirely new outfit, he says. When styling brooches, Walford recommends balancing the proportions with the size of your lapel. 'If it's narrow, keep things small and delicate. For a large and oversized 80s-style lapel, you could go big.' 'Don't feel like you have to stop at one – if we learned anything from this year's Met Gala, it's that a brooch can be layered and stacked.' Alternatively, take a leaf out of Zendaya's book and fasten one to the back of a coat or dress – just watch out for your handbag strap if you do it. 'There are no rules,' Cummings says. 'I also love to wear them over the top button of a shirt or pinned to a straw hat in summer.' A brooch is a great way to break up an all-black outfit, to fasten a scarf thrown over the shoulders or to add some sparkle to a basket or handbag. If you're looking to start, or add to, a brooch collection, try searching for vintage brooches on secondhand sites such as Vestiaire Collective or online marketplaces such as Etsy, eBay and 1stDibs – the results page feels like rifling through a wealthy, bohemian grandmother's jewellery box. Antique stores and vintage markets also often have extensive brooch collections, if you prefer to peruse in real life. From gold nose-and-mouth sculptures by Salvador Dalí to 1980s Lanvin flowers and enamel and rhinestone sea shells – each pin contains the possibility of another, fancier world. At their best, brooches should feel like small sculptures – striking from afar but still full of detail when you come closer, Cummings says. 'Weight and balance are important but above all it should carry a sense of story.'

Zendaya's Euphoria co-star reveals unlikely new job amid questions over season three
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Actress Nika King has revealed her unlikely new job, as the Euphoria star seemingly confirmed she wasn't invited back for the upcoming third season of the acclaimed series. The US actress, 46, played Leslie Bennett in the first two seasons of the award-winning HBO series, portraying the mother of Zendaya's character Rue. And as the long-awaited third season finally enters production, King addressed fan questions about whether she's returning to the show after she wasn't listed in the cast announcement back in February. Taking to Instagram with a now-viral video, King could be seen donning an apron and scrubs as she washed appliances in a commercial kitchen. In overlay text alongside the clip, King wrote, 'When ppl ask me if I'm filming S3 of Euphoria.' 'A job is a job,' King added in the caption. King previously revealed she hadn't paid her rent in six months as she awaited news of the upcoming season going into production following several delays. Speaking out on Instagram in March last year, King told fans, 'Season 3 is coming out … I don't f**king know. Don't ask me. I don't know. It's one of those things.' The actress continued, 'People are like, 'We need Season 3.' I'm like, 'B**ch, I need Season 3, too!' I haven't paid my rent in six months, and Zendaya's over in Paris at Fashion Week. I'm like, 'B**ch, come home! I need you. Mama need you.'' Nika King played Leslie Bennett, the mother of Zendaya's character Rue, in Euphoria's first two seasons. Picture: Eddy Chen/HBO Euphoria's third season is finally set to premiere next year, some four years after season two dropped. It was revealed in February the core cast would be reprising their roles, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi. There were also several newcomers announced, including Grammy Award winner Rosalía and Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch. While Zendaya will be reprising her role, Nika King won't return for season 3. Cast members Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney are set to return to the show. Picture: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for HBO King is not the only cast member who won't feature in the new series, with Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat Hernandez, announcing her departure in 2022. 'After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I'm having to say a very teary-eyed goodbye,' Ferreira wrote on social media at the time. 'I hope many of you could see yourself in her like I did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today. I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it. Love you Katherine Hernandez.' Deadline previously reported season three will see a time jump, meaning the characters will no longer be in their usual high school setting. While little else is known about the plot, creator Sam Levinson told ELLE in a September 2023 cover story that Rue's storyline will 'explore what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world.'
