Celebrity Jewellery Trends Everyone Is Copying

There is a reason people zoom into celebrity Instagram posts.

It is never the outfit they are trying to identify first. It is the earrings. The necklace. The way a single piece of jewellery transforms an otherwise simple look into something worth saving to a mood board.

Bollywood celebrities have always driven jewellery trends in India. But in 2025, that influence is faster, more specific, and more accessible than it has ever been. A look worn at an airport on a Tuesday is on 50 shopping sites by Friday. A bridal set worn at a high-profile wedding becomes the most searched jewellery style for the next three months.

This blog covers exactly which celebrities are driving which jewellery trends right now, what makes each trend work, how to wear it without spending a fortune trying to replicate it, and where to find pieces at Minerali Store that match the same aesthetic.

Why Celebrity Jewellery Trends Matter More Than Fashion Trends

Clothes go in and out of season. Jewellery does not follow the same rules.

A trend in silhouettes or colours is seasonal. A trend in jewellery style, like the return of chandbalis or the rise of minimalist gold, tends to last two to three years because pieces are kept, layered, and reworn across seasons.

This means when a celebrity drives a jewellery trend, the impact lasts much longer than a fashion trend. Alia Bhatt's minimalist bridal look in 2022 is still being referenced by brides in 2025. Deepika Padukone's temple jewellery choices have influenced festive styling across the country for years. These are not fleeting moments. They are taste shifts.

Understanding which trends are being driven right now, by whom and why, helps you make smarter, longer-lasting jewellery choices.

The Celebrity Jewellery Trends Dominating 2025

Trend 1: Deepika Padukone and the Chandbali Comeback

Deepika Padukone has worn chandbalis more consistently and more boldly than any other celebrity in India over the last several years. Her choices have single-handedly made this traditional South Indian earring style a mainstream pan-India trend.

What Deepika does that most people miss is that she wears chandbalis as the lead piece. Not as one of many accessories. The chandbali is the centrepiece of the look, and everything else, the necklace, the outfit, the hair, is chosen to support it rather than compete with it.

She has been photographed in Sabyasachi Amrapali chandbalis multiple times, in heavy Kundan chandbalis for festive events, and in more delicate versions for promotional appearances. Across all of these, the formula is the same. One strong pair of earrings. Everything else quiet.

The trend she has created: chandbalis are no longer just for South Indian occasions or heavy bridal events. They are now a mainstream statement earring choice across North India, Western India, and for women who do not have any traditional association with the style. You wear them because they look extraordinary, not because of regional context.

How to get this look: Choose one pair of chandbalis as your statement piece. Wear your hair pulled back so the earrings are fully visible. Keep the necklace minimal or skip it entirely. The more you let the chandbalis breathe, the more impact they have.

Browse chandbalis at Minerali Store for a curated range of styles from classic Kundan to contemporary interpretations that match this exact aesthetic.

Trend 2: Alia Bhatt and the Rise of Minimalist Gold

Alia Bhatt has built one of the most distinctive and copied jewellery aesthetics in Bollywood. And her signature is restraint.

For everyday appearances, Alia consistently chooses delicate gold studs, small hoops, and thin chain necklaces. For her wedding look, she wore minimal diamond jewellery with a pastel lehenga at a time when most brides were still defaulting to full Kundan or Polki sets. That choice was genuinely bold because it went against what was expected, and it changed the conversation around bridal jewellery immediately after.

The trend she has created: you do not need a full set to look dressed up. One or two carefully chosen minimal pieces can do more than a fully loaded look. This has freed a generation of women from feeling like they have to wear more in order to look like they tried.

Alia's jewellery approach also works across contexts in a way that heavier jewellery cannot. The same pair of small gold hoops that she wears to the airport works for a business lunch and a casual evening. That versatility is the real value.

How to get this look: Invest in one or two very well-made minimal pieces. Small gold-finish hoops, a delicate pendant necklace, or a thin bangle. The quality of the piece matters more in minimalist dressing than in maximalist dressing because there is nothing else to distract the eye.

Browse hoops and studs at Minerali Store for clean, minimal pieces that match Alia's everyday jewellery aesthetic.

Trend 3: Kareena Kapoor Khan and the Kundan Choker as an Everyday Power Piece

Kareena Kapoor Khan has one of the strongest and most consistent jewellery identities in Bollywood. She wears Kundan with a confidence that makes it look effortless rather than ceremonial.

Her most influential move in 2025 is wearing Kundan chokers and layered Kundan necklaces not just at weddings and festive events but at film promotions, family occasions, and public appearances where a lighter piece would be more expected. She treats Kundan as a wardrobe staple rather than a special occasion piece.

The trend she has created: Kundan, particularly in choker form, has moved from purely bridal and festive to a broader occasion category. Women are now wearing Kundan chokers with kurtas, with structured blazers, and with simple sarees rather than reserving the style for weddings.

She has also been photographed in traditional silver layered necklaces for festive styling, pairing bold silver jewellery with vibrant lehengas in a way that created a sharp departure from the default gold-everything approach to Indian festive dressing.

How to get this look: A Kundan choker with a round-neck kurta or a simple anarkali is the most accessible version of this trend. You do not need a full set. Just the choker. Wear it with simple earrings and let the necklace lead.

Explore the Kundan collection at Minerali Store for choker and necklace styles that carry this kind of everyday elegance.

Trend 4: Sonam Kapoor and the Art of Experimental Earrings

Sonam Kapoor occupies a different space from most other Bollywood celebrities when it comes to jewellery. She treats jewellery as a genuine creative statement rather than a finishing touch.

She has worn oversized sculptural earrings, abstract contemporary pieces, and layered Polki sets with equal conviction. Her consistent message is that earrings should be interesting. Not just complementary, but independently interesting.

In 2025, the trend she has driven is the rise of the earring as the primary creative statement piece in a look. Abstract shapes, unusual silhouettes, and pieces that do not look like conventional earrings have all gained traction because of how she wears them.

She has also made layered Polki styling a consistent part of her festive appearances, wearing multiple Polki pieces in a way that feels curated rather than excessive.

How to get this look: Choose earrings that have an independent point of view. Not just stud earrings that go with everything, but earrings that say something on their own. Wear them with clean, simple outfits so the earrings have room to be what they are.

Browse danglers and earcuffs at Minerali Store for creative, statement earring options that match Sonam's approach to experimental jewellery styling.

Explore the Polki collection at Minerali Store for layered Polki pieces that work for festive and high-occasion styling.

Trend 5: Kiara Advani and the Comeback of Chandbalis With Western Wear

Kiara Advani has done something quietly influential with chandbalis. She has repeatedly worn them with western outfits, specifically with white shirts, off-shoulder dresses, and clean modern silhouettes.

This is not a new idea in theory, mixing Indian earrings with western clothes is a long-standing fashion move in India. But Kiara does it with a specific kind of chandbali, bold enough to be a statement, clean enough in design to work with western silhouettes without the look becoming a costume.

The trend she has driven: traditional earring styles like chandbalis and jhumkas worn with western or fusion outfits. This has become one of the most popular styling formulas among young Indian women who want to incorporate traditional jewellery into their regular wardrobes without wearing a full ethnic look.

How to get this look: Find a pair of chandbalis that are bold enough to be a statement but not so heavily embellished that they only work with traditional outfits. A white shirt, a pair of straight-cut trousers, and one strong pair of chandbalis is a complete, thoroughly modern look.

Browse chandbalis at Minerali Store for styles that work across both Indian and western outfit contexts.

Trend 6: The Heeramandi Effect: Vintage Maximalism Making a Comeback

The Netflix series Heeramandi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, became a cultural phenomenon in 2024 and its jewellery influence is still being felt strongly in 2025.

The series featured extraordinarily detailed traditional jewellery across all six main characters. Maang tikkas, passa, sheesh phool, layered necklaces, jhumkas, and haath phool were all worn with a maximalism that most Indian content had moved away from. The response was immediate. Searches for passa, sheesh phool, and maang tikka jumped significantly after the series aired.

What Heeramandi did was remind people that Indian jewellery at its most maximalist is also Indian jewellery at its most extraordinary. It made vintage-style traditional pieces desirable again for a generation that had been leaning toward minimal.

The trend it created: head jewellery, specifically passa, sheesh phool, and maang tikkas, is back in serious consideration for festive and occasion wear. And layered, maximalist jewellery styling has regained cultural legitimacy.

How to get this look: You do not need to go full maximalist. The Heeramandi influence is most wearable when you take one element from that aesthetic, a passa worn to a sangeet, a sheesh phool with a simple updo, or a maang tikka with an otherwise minimal look, and pair it with something restrained.

Browse Passa, Sheesh Phool, and Maang Tikkas at Minerali Store for head jewellery that channels this aesthetic.

Trend 7: Emerald Green Stones Are the New Neutral

Kareena Kapoor, Kiara Advani, and several other celebrities have consistently been photographed in emerald and deep green stone jewellery in 2025. The cumulative effect of this is that green stones have shifted from being a specific colour choice to being treated almost like a neutral, something that works with a wide range of outfit colours and occasions.

What makes green stone jewellery particularly powerful is the contrast it creates. Against ivory, cream, or white outfits, green stones look extraordinarily rich. Against deep reds or blues, they create a royal contrast that has a lot of cultural heritage behind it.

The specific celebrity-driven version of this trend is green drop earrings or a green stone pendant necklace worn as the single jewellery statement with a minimal outfit.

How to get this look: One pair of green stone drop earrings or a green stone pendant necklace with a white, ivory, or cream outfit. Keep everything else very simple.

Explore the green stone drop necklace set at Minerali Store for a piece that captures this trend directly.

Also browse the multi gemstone gold electroplated necklace at Minerali Store for a coloured stone option that works across festive and everyday contexts.

Trend 8: Sara Ali Khan and the Oxidised Silver Revival

Sara Ali Khan has carved out a very specific and recognisable jewellery identity in Bollywood. She consistently wears oxidised silver jewellery with ethnic outfits, boho looks, and casual western wear.

Oxidised silver has a raw, earthy quality that is deliberately different from the polished gold or high-shine Kundan aesthetic that dominates most Indian celebrity jewellery moments. Sara's consistent championing of it has made oxidised silver genuinely desirable among younger buyers who want their jewellery to feel more personal and less formal.

The trend she has driven: oxidised and contemporary silver jewellery as a mainstream festive and everyday choice, not just a craft fair or boho niche.

How to get this look: Oxidised silver earrings or a chunky silver necklace with a block-print kurta, a cotton saree, or a simple ethnic co-ord. The earthy, textured quality of oxidised silver works best with natural fabrics and simple silhouettes.

How to Use Celebrity Jewellery Inspiration Without Copying It Exactly

There is a difference between being inspired by a celebrity's jewellery choice and trying to replicate it exactly.

Exact replication often does not work because the piece exists in a specific context. Deepika's chandbalis look the way they do because of how she styled her hair, what she wore, and how she carried herself. You cannot replicate that entirely, and trying to often produces a result that looks like a costume rather than a personal style statement.

The more useful approach is to identify what the celebrity is doing structurally and replicate the structure rather than the specific piece.

Deepika wears one strong earring and keeps everything else quiet. That principle works regardless of which earring you choose. Alia wears minimal pieces with maximum intention. That principle works at any price point. Sonam chooses earrings that have a point of view. That principle can be applied to any pair of earrings that interest you.

Take the principle. Find your own version of it.

The Celebrity Jewellery Principles That Actually Work

Every celebrity jewellery trend that has lasted more than one season in India is based on one of three principles.

The first is contrast. Traditional jewellery with unexpected outfits. Heavy pieces with clean, minimal backgrounds. Bold stones against plain fabrics. Contrast is what makes jewellery visible and interesting.

The second is restraint. Even the most maximalist celebrity looks have a logic of restraint somewhere. Sonam Kapoor might wear extraordinary earrings but her neckline will be clean. Kareena might wear a bold Kundan choker but her wrist will carry only one bangle. Restraint is what separates a strong look from an overdressed one.

The third is consistency. The celebrities who drive long-term jewellery trends are the ones who wear the same type of piece repeatedly and build an identity around it. Deepika and chandbalis. Alia and minimal gold. Kareena and Kundan. The repetition is what creates the trend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What jewellery is Deepika Padukone known for?

Deepika Padukone is most consistently associated with chandbali earrings, which she has worn across red carpets, festivals, and casual appearances for years. She has also been photographed in Kundan sets and temple jewellery for bridal and festive occasions. Her signature styling move is wearing one strong earring as the lead piece and keeping everything else minimal around it.

What jewellery does Alia Bhatt prefer?

Alia Bhatt is known for minimal, delicate gold jewellery. For everyday appearances she wears small hoops, gold studs, and thin chain necklaces. Her bridal look, which featured minimal diamond jewellery with a pastel lehenga, became one of the most influential bridal jewellery moments in recent years and continues to inspire brides who want elegance without maximalism.

What is the Heeramandi jewellery trend?

The Heeramandi effect refers to the revival of traditional Indian head jewellery and maximalist jewellery styling driven by the 2024 Netflix series. Searches for passa, sheesh phool, and maang tikkas increased significantly after the series aired. The trend is most wearably interpreted by taking one element of that maximalist aesthetic, a passa or a sheesh phool, and pairing it with an otherwise restrained look.

How do I recreate a celebrity jewellery look on a budget?

Focus on the structural principle behind the look rather than the specific piece. If a celebrity is wearing one strong earring and keeping everything else quiet, find one pair of earrings that you love and style them the same way. The principle is free. The piece can be at any price point. Minerali Store has designer pieces across a wide range of price points, including options under Rs. 2000 and Rs. 3000 that carry the same aesthetic quality as higher price point pieces.

Browse pieces under 2000 and under 3000 at Minerali Store.

Which celebrity jewellery trend is best for everyday wear?

Alia Bhatt's minimalist gold approach is the most practical for everyday wear. Small hoops, a delicate pendant necklace, and one thin bangle or ring work across every context from the office to a casual dinner. It is also the most investment-efficient approach because minimal pieces are more versatile and get worn more often than statement pieces.

What is the difference between celebrity jewellery and designer jewellery?

Celebrity jewellery is what a specific famous person wears. Designer jewellery is jewellery made by a named designer with a distinct creative point of view. The two overlap frequently because many Bollywood celebrities specifically choose to wear Indian designer jewellery from labels like Sabyasachi Amrapali. Minerali Store carries jewellery from some of India's finest designer labels across Kundan, Polki, contemporary, and silver categories.

Final Thoughts

Celebrity jewellery trends matter not because you should copy them but because they reveal something about where taste is moving.

When Deepika repeatedly wears chandbalis, she is telling you that one extraordinary earring is more powerful than a full set. When Alia wears minimal bridal jewellery, she is telling you that restraint is its own kind of confidence. When Kareena wears Kundan to a film promotion, she is telling you that traditional jewellery does not need a traditional occasion to justify it.

These are genuinely useful principles. Take them, find your own versions of them, and wear jewellery with the same intention that makes a celebrity's choice worth zooming into.

Minerali Store brings together some of India's finest designer jewellery labels with pieces that match every trend covered in this guide, from bold chandbalis and layered Polki to contemporary minimalist silver and Kundan chokers.
