Since moving to Washington, D.C. in 2022, Arianna Salerno noticed an increasing presence of cross necklaces among her peers and public figures. Initially, the cross symbol seemed unchanging, yet its recent revival indicates a shift in how young people express their faith. Visible on social media, red carpets, and in political settings, these accessories are becoming trendy once again. Figures like Karoline Leavitt and Attorney General Pam Bondi showcase how personal belief is intertwined with fashion, and many young women use platforms like TikTok to share their stories surrounding these symbols of faith.
As the cross becomes a seemingly trendy accessory, it simultaneously underscores a resurgence of religious expression among younger generations seeking connection and community.
Lately, cross necklaces flash across cable news screens several times a week, suspended between the collarbones of notable figures like the White House press secretary and Attorney General.
