Feather earrings became a huge hit when there was a surge of popularity in bohemian looks. We first started seeing it in 2009, sported by boho-loving celebs like Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, and Hilary Duff. It was quite the choice accessory among the young debutantes of Tinseltown.
These earrings are not as popular nowadays, but there are still a handful of true-blue fashionistas who wear them. If you’ve been wanting to work this accessory into your wardrobe, read on and check out our fabulous options.
Dressed Up:

A-listers, such as Angelina Jolie, popularized a glammed-up version of feather earrings. Angelina once wore the Asprey feather earrings — a gorgeous and uber-expensive jewelry piece that features 18-carat white gold and a hefty serving of pavé diamonds. This is no longer available in “The Feather Collection” of Asprey, but we did find you these alternatives from Amazon:
Rachel Roy Pave Feather Earrings, $44
Juicy Couture Pave Feather Drop Earrings, $48
Rebecca Minkoff Dangle Feather Earrings, $98
Laid Back:

For a more casual look, scratch the expensive diamonds and opt for real feathers instead, with only minimal style additions. Like Laura Haddock’s earrings at the BAFTAs last year, the following feather earrings have a very bohemian and rock-star vibe. They are very laid back but still uber-stylish.
Orelia Sleek Feather Drop Earrings, $25.46
Just Acces Dund Earrings, $30.55
Style Tryst Metallic Feather Earrings, $38
