Celebs in Saint Tropez and Models in Paris are Wearing the Jewelry Micro-Trend That’s Heating Up for Late Summer 2026

Celebs in Saint Tropez and Models in Paris are Wearing the Jewelry Micro-Trend That's Heating Up for Late Summer 2026

Summer isn’t running out just yet, and the fact that new micro trends are bubbling up is proof that our seasonal wardrobes still have plenty of time to grow and evolve before Labor Day. As July veers into August, we may not be seeing much newness in the overarching trends that dictate how we get dressed these days, but one thing fashion people excel at is finding small but impactful accessories to transform their outfits.

Enter the arm bangle. I first noticed Zoë Kravitz test-driving the upper-arm jewelry while attending an event for British jeweler Jessica McCormack in London. Kravitz wore a series of gold bands that sat just above her left elbow and complemented a simple silk slip dress and satin pumps. Next, it was Vittoria Ceretti who styled a piece from NYC It-girl label Aflalo, aptly named a bicep bangle, while on vacation in Saint Tropez. Hers featured a single lab-grown diamond dangling from a sculptural bangle. Talk about luxe. If three’s a trend, then the Balenciaga couture 2026 show in Paris was sealed the deal. There, models emerged in striking gowns that arrived with bold crystal upper-arm cuffs that served as the only accessories.

Ahead, we’re charting the rise in the arm bangle jewelry trend from celebs and It girls to couture runway models. See the looks and then shop the coolest styles currently on the market.
