Would You Wear Oversize Hoops Like Rihanna?

O’Neill-White/INF

Call it a trend that’s hard to miss — from Rihanna to Hilary Duff to Jennifer Lopez, stars are sporting super-size hoop earrings. Chalk it up to the ’80s revival that just won’t stop in fashion, but doorknockers are back in a big (literally!) way. Although we get that they really stand out and can even transform a simple outfit into a bold fashion statement, we’re not sure we’re ready to retire our daintier versions. Tell us: Is this look too over the top to fully embrace? Would you wear oversize hoop earrings?

I have wore “over-sized” hopps before. They are kinda heavy, but I love the way they look. The hoops can either look good or bad, and on Rihanna, they look awesome. They “complete” her outfit.

Of Course I would! Who Wouldn’t??? As long as they are not too heavy and the posts are not too wide. I got some silver ones at http://www.akostyle.com cute

They’re okay on Rihanna and other celebs.I wear them but smaller,silver and less heavy,because I can’t wear huge ones like Rihanna.

Rachel D. August 14th, 2007

No, I wouldn’t. They’re too heavy and since I’m so clumsy they would catch on my clothing and long hair.

Jenna August 14th, 2007

Yes, I have white gold one they are gorgous!

I WOULD NEVER WEAR CHANDELIER, OVER-SISIZED HOOP OR ANY GIGANTIC SIZED EARINGS. wear them often and your ears will droop down – just like saggy breasts. I’d like to keep my ears “nice n perky” for a very long time, if you know what i mean.

Shayna August 14th, 2007

YES!!!!!!! They look incredible on almost anyone and I wear mine all then time, although I prefer the trend in silver and possibly with diamonds

Jenna August 14th, 2007

Ehww Jess…Gross! Those earing are amazing! Jess you creepy!

Jess August 14th, 2007

Jenna, its not gross, just think about it, your making alot of weight dangle from ur ears .. sooner or later ur ears are gonna “drop” or “hang” from holding all that weight on tiny pieces of the body (ears) .. i aint gross, just stating the truth
