Catherine, the Princess of Wales (AKA Kate Middleton) has had an endless number of iconic looks over the years. One ensemble we're still obsessing over? Her sequin Jenny Packham gown that instantly became a fashion ‘moment’ when she re-wore the dress to the 2021 Royal Variety Performance.
Sure, we love a celebrity outfit repeat and Kate is famous for recycling Royal 'fits – but, it was her stylish gold drop earrings providing the perfect finishing touch that really caught our eye. We immediately recognised the statement ear adornments as Missoma's Zenyu Chandelier Hoop Earrings. Three years on from Kate first wearing them, the style is *still* a popular choice amongst shoppers, regularly restocked by the brand.
With access to literal tiaras that once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II plus Princess Diana's jewellery box of drool-worthy gems, you bet we take note when Kate reps one of our fave affordable jewellery brands. The best part? The princess' exact earrings are now discounted as part of Missoma's Black Friday sale!

As a Fashion Editor, one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe is, without a doubt, my statement gold earrings. Not only do they make you feel instantly *glam*, they are a quick (and easy) way to make any outfit look expensive. And Missoma's Zenyu Chandelier Hoop Earrings are just the ticket.
Let's zoom right in for the details, shall we?
The earrings in question are 18ct gold plated and feature a gold hoop connected to a splayed fan which is then finished with a trim of delicate gold bobbles, making them both festive while nailing those summer boho vibes at the same time. This Black Friday, Missoma is offering up to 40% off everything on site, with Kate's earrings discounted by 30% off. Usually retailing for £139, the Missoma sale now brings them down to a much more affordable £97.30.
Now, this might be a little more than what you'd usually spend on a pair of earrings but, if you're looking to invest in a pair you're gonna wear all the time, the cost-per-wear ratio definitely worth considering. Given how quickly royal fashion choices tend to sell out, these earrings are sure to follow suit, so you might wanna get in quick!
