Celebrities and their Accessory Obsessions

Giorgio Armani once said: ‘Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day.’

If you have a few good pieces of clothing and accessories to compliment them, you are sure to have a style statement of your own. And with the world turning towards minimalism in all respects today, this trick can come in real handy. Mix and match to suit your own style palette and you have a winner! 

Since the use of accessories is personal, they tend to showcase your personal style, taste, and preference. They also help you define the occasion as well as your style. 

So needless to say, the role of accessories should not be ignored. They are more significant than you think. Through the years, we’ve seen celebrities find their style statement through accessories. So much so, these accessories have become a part of their identity. Read on for some of these iconic accessories through the years!
