YSL Brings Back Bold ’80s Glam with Oversized Earrings at SS26 Show

We can’t seem to get over the accessories worn at Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, especially the earrings. The models all had chandelier-style ornaments on their ears.

These earrings were crafted by jeweler Philippe Grand whose work tends to lean  toward architectural designs. The pieces consist of large clusters color of gemstones, each framed in a silver web-like setting. At the end, teardrop-shaped gems were hanging. Each model had a distinct color: ranging from amber to a dark burgundy shade. All fitting into the collection’s palette.

The earrings at YSL SS26 were more than an accessory, they aligned with the show’s ‘80s-inspired theme. They also complemented the dramatic outfits and made the models look theatrical.
