I'm placing my bets now—the studded accessories are going to be one of the biggest of the season. We've already had whispers of this trend coming to the fore for a little while now—Khaite's influencer-approved Benny belt swept Instagram feeds last winter, and studded accessories have quietly grown in popularity across the board since then. Tapping into the indie sleaze aesthetic, that saw messy and un-done style come to the fore, whilst nodding to the suddenly everywhere boho trend, studded accessories speak to two of fashion's biggest nostalgic moments, and brands have been creating a slew of It-worthy add-ons to tap into this interest, setting the shopping tone for autumn in the process.
Heading for a revival, I've spotted several of my favourite celebrities work the growing trend into their wardrobes this season. From stud-adorned shoes on Katie Holmes to spotted belts on Dua Lipa, studs are set to be autumn 2024's answer to last year's bow trend.
To get a head start on the surefire trend, read on to discover the studded accessories that are taking off right now, and the celebrities that can't get enough.
HOW CELEBRITIES ARE WEARING THE STUDDED ACCESSORY TREND
1. STUDDED BELT
Style Notes: Dua Lipa is bringing back every 2010s kid's favourite accessory, the studded belt. Styled low on the hips with plenty of eyelet detailing, the singer added a playful, grungy edge to her look. With the indie sleaze trend poised for a major comeback this season, Lipa’s belt won't be the only studded style cropping up on your FYP this autumn.

3. STUDDED FLATS
Style Notes: Ballet flats have been one of the biggest shoe trends from the past few years, and this season they're evolving with a very specific, stylish detail. Stud adorn ballet flats are at all of my favourite high street retailers right now, and the trend is gaining traction amongst designer brands, too.
