The Big Hoops
Coming in a seemingly limitless range of sizes, “bigger the better” hoops are the go-to earrings for R&B royalty. Take Rhianna, Beyoncé and Cardi B; they are rarely spotted without a pair hanging from their lobes and now it’s time for you to join them, so look to those that come packed with diva energy. Plus, enjoy the fact that these easy-to-style earrings will go well with virtually everything in your wardrobe - be it off-duty loungewear or a 90s-style slip dress.

Wear with your hair slicked back for maximum, glistening effect.
