Taylor Swift’s“Patient Zero”music video premiered during the VMAs, and while fans were busy analyzing every frame, one detail stood out fast: her earrings. Taylor and Dakota Johnson matched in the video, both wearing Melinda Maria’s Hello Gorgeous Drop Earrings, priced at just $95. They styled the drops with Valentino dresses for a party scene, and reviewers are already obsessed, with one customer saying they’re“so shiny and sparkly that they totally look like real diamond earrings.”
The earrings hold a five-star average from over 60 reviews, so this isn’t just hype. And for Taylor, Melinda Maria is a repeat favorite. She wore the brand’s Julian Loves Diamonds Necklace to a Chiefs game in 2024 and the Gabriella Pavé Spiked Hoops to the 2021“All Too Well”short film premiere. Her stylist, Joseph Cassell, has been a longtime supporter of the designer, putting her pieces on Taylor for years.
Same night as the video premiere, Taylor also accepted the VMAs’first-ever Artist Director Honors. So the VMAs delivered a historic win and an affordable fashion moment all at once. Will you be adding these earrings to your cart, or are you holding out for the next Swift style drop?
