Rhinestones are super trendy right now. What gives?
Recently, I was tapping through Instagram stories and stumbled upon an influencer putting rhinestones in her hair with a Blinger, the hair bedazzler that I definitely used as a kid. But, while I know that I looked tacky AF with multicolored jewels all over my head as a kid, this girl's look was… cute. Little star jewels were placed in a straight line in her hair which she'd then pulled back into a low ponytail.
According to Amanda Hallay, a professor of Fashion History in Manhattan and host of The Ultimate Fashion History on YouTube, the rhinestone trend that I fondly remember from my childhood is from much earlier than the days of Mariah Carey wearing them as temporary tattoos on red carpets.
Finding another way to update old trends is hard nowadays, seeing as we've been relying on nostalgia to inform our fashion for decades."We've sourced the past for so long that it's becoming increasingly difficult to make the 'old' look 'new' again," says Hallay. But rhinestones are primed to succeed as a trend due in large part to their simplicity.
And thinks don't get much more bleak than the story lines of HBO's Euphoria, in which rhinestones and sparkles featured prominently. Yet, Hallay says that the uniqueness of the show's looks is a sign that makeup is about to get much more creative."It suggests that we are about to move into an era of far more eccentricity than we've seen in two decades," she says, pointing to the individuality of the looks.
