Pedro Pascal Is Definitive Proof More Men Need To Wear Men's Brooches

"In recent years, men have seemingly been experimenting more with their fashion. Whether it's a boxy leather tote bag or hexagonal eyeglasses, small signifiers of effort are always deemed hot (and worthy of the "slutty" moniker). The men at the 2026 Oscars took accessorizing to a whole new level by adding one elegant accoutrement to their suits: a brooch."

"Brooches on the red carpet aren't necessarily new. In 2024, select A-listers such as Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy already began trading in neckties and bowties for statement pins on awards show red carpets. Since then, the accessory continued to gain so much momentum in the men's space that new brooch designs (read: bigger and snazzier) practically became a mainstay during Men's Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 shows."

"Most brooch wearers at the Academy Awards chose smaller, much sparklier pins, including Joe Alwyn and Damson Idris. Hudson Williams' dainty piece was a bedazzled serpent from BVLGARI. Then there was Channing Tatum, who accessorized his Versace suit with a Tiffany & Co. bird-shaped brooch with over 22-carats. Who says men can't be blinged out in subtle, sophisticated ways?"

"It's not just the shape of the brooch that matters - the choice of metal also adds a layer of individuality and creativity. Kieran Culkin, for example, stood out when he chose a yellow gold add-on, which popped perfectly against his brown jacket."

Brooches have become a prominent accessory in men's fashion, gaining significant momentum since 2024 when celebrities like Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy began wearing statement pins instead of traditional neckties at awards shows. The trend intensified at Men's Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 and reached new heights at the 2026 Oscars, where numerous A-list actors showcased elaborate brooch designs. Celebrities wore pieces ranging from delicate, sparkly pins to bold statement brooches, including luxury designs from brands like BVLGARI, Tiffany & Co., and Chanel. The choice of metal—yellow gold, white gold, or platinum—adds individuality to each look, allowing men to express creativity while maintaining sophistication and elegance in their formal wear.
