More and more over the past few years have earrings spread their wings, extending beyond the lobe and becoming an accessory that adorns the entire ear. We’ve spotted subtle versions (years ago, on Sienna Miller, an early proponent of what we then dubbed ‘earwings’), and extreme ones. (I am, personally, partial to the Jessica McCormack pair featured in this Zippora Seven video.)

As to where this trend will go is anyone’s guess, but I’d bet we’ll continue to see the more subtle versions appearing in collections and on the street. This fanned-out take was snapped by me at Paris fashion week.
