The Resurgence of Cross Necklaces in Fashion

2024-12-19 // SuperPodium
Explore the growing popularity of cross necklaces in the fashion industry as celebrities and designers incorporate the iconic symbol into their outfits.

In a recent event, Chappell Roan and Camila Cabello showcased their unique fashion statements by incorporating cross necklaces into their outfits. Roan opted for a medieval theme, wearing a sheer Y/Project gown and accessorizing with talon-like nails and a life-size sword, while Cabello chose an inky lace Tony Ward dress to create a gothic look.

This trend of wearing cross necklaces has gained popularity among pop stars, with Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish also sporting the religious symbol in their accessories. Etsy, an online marketplace, has observed a significant increase in searches for cross necklaces, especially for pearl styles.

The resurgence of cross necklaces can be attributed to the revival of Y2K fashion, led by influential figures like Camille Charrière and Blanca Miró. Vintage cross charms have also become sought-after, adding a unique touch to the wearer's style.

It is not the first time that cross necklaces have made a comeback. In the 80s and 90s, Madonna popularized the symbol through her music videos, and designers like Karl Lagerfeld and Vivienne Westwood continued to champion the motif in their collections.

Contemporary jewelry brands such as Alighieri, Ben-Amun, and Sophie Bille Brahe have reimagined traditional cross necklaces, offering variations that cater to modern consumers. Tessa Tran, the founder of Chan Luu, has designed baroque pearl crosses with natural structures, offering a fusion of elegance and fashion-forwardness.

While the cross is deeply rooted in religious symbolism, many people now wear it as a fashion statement rather than a spiritual emblem. The stylist Genesis Webb, despite not being religious, has a cross tattooed on her throat as a form of personal protection. Similarly, influencer Lilly Sisto, who identifies as Christian, believes that wearing a cross can be a fashion statement and doesn't require religious affiliation.

The cross has always been a symbol of power, even outside of its religious context. Princess Diana, for example, wore a diamond and amethyst-encrusted cross pendant, representing her independence and empowerment. This integration of Christianity and consumerism has further contributed to the popularity of cross necklaces.

While the meaning behind wearing a cross necklace can have different interpretations, it is clear that this iconic symbol has regained its place in the world of fashion, offering a blend of tradition, style, and personal expression.
