Vogue Editor Julia Hobbs on Re-Piercing Her Ears for Celine's Statement Earrings

Julia Hobbs, a senior editor for British Vogue, recently had her ears re-pierced to showcase oversized mismatched silver earrings from Celine's Fall/Winter 2026 collection, look 1. Originally pierced at the age of 14, she was a fan of Hedi Slimane's designs during the 2010s until her piercings closed up. Her newfound passion for striking jewelry is credited to Michael Rider, the artistic director at Celine. At Harrods, Jasmine Takauchi, the head piercer, inserted 14-carat white gold huggies into her ears. The Celine earrings, which were clip-ons, were worn over the huggies, paired with a decade-old Isabel Marant blazer. Hobbs referenced a 2002 Ron Galella photograph of Chloë Sevigny and noted the trend towards minimalist fashion, mentioning stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner.
