About

Pearlcore is the early-2020s fashion, beauty and decor movement centred on the prominent use of pearls — modernising them away from their traditionally formal, preppy or 'grandmotherly' associations into contemporary, eclectic and gender-neutral styling. 2024 was the look's peak runway year: oversized baroque pearl chokers and ear cuffs at Givenchy SS24; pearl-set jewellery at Versace and Dior; pearls layered with leather jackets and chunky bangles by stylists across Vogue and Elle. The look is anchored by Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, Timothée Chalamet and Usher's adoption of layered pearl necklaces in menswear, helping break the women-only association. Beyond jewellery, pearlcore extends into pearl-encrusted bags, hair pins, nail art and home decor.

Not Coquette — Pearlcore is specifically about the pearl as accessory across multiple looks; Coquette is the broader hyperfeminine aesthetic of bows, ribbons and balletcore.
