Brooches are back: How Shah Rukh Khan, Tamannaah Bhatia and Bollywood are making the accessory cool again

Brooches are experiencing a fashionable resurgence, as Bollywood stars don them with modern flair. At the 2025 Met Gala, Shah Rukh Khan adorned himself with a dazzling diamond-star brooch. Saif Ali Khan showcased a platinum and 18k yellow gold brooch from Tiffany & Co., featuring a bird encrusted with 71 white diamonds and a pink sapphire on a 15-carat yellow diamond heart.

Tamannaah Bhatia also embraced this accessory, styling a Manish Malhotra ensemble with a statement brooch. Pawan Gupta, chairperson of P.P. Jewellers, explains that brooches offer a unique way to elevate an outfit without overwhelming it, making them a perfect blend of traditional jewelry and contemporary fashion. The revival of brooches coincides with a renewed interest in vintage-inspired pieces, heirloom jewelry, and designs imbued with meaning.

These timeless accessories are no longer confined to formal attire; they are now being styled in a more contemporary manner, pinned onto blazers, jackets, dupattas, and saris. With their versatility, brooches can be easily incorporated into both Indian and Western wear, providing an effortless yet distinctive touch to any outfit.
