Molly-Mae’s ‘Ear Candy’ Look – How to Recreate It
Molly-Mae Hague is once again showing us how it’s done with her latest “ear candy” look, and we’re here to help your readers recreate it. Her six-piercing ear stack, featuring diamond-encrusted huggies and delicate studs proves that ear stacking is the ultimate form of self-expression.
Molly-Mae Hague has once again captivated her millions of Instagram followers with her latest “ear candy” look. Her story showcased a sparkling selection of delicate huggies and studs, proving that the ear stack trend is here to stay. According to Google Trends, searches for “silver earring stack” are up 50% in the past week, highlighting the growing popularity of this jewellery trend.
Ear stacking can be the ultimate form of self-expression. By mixing and matching different earring shapes, sizes and placements, you can create a look entirely bespoke to you, whether you prefer understated sparkle or bold, statement layers.
Molly-Mae’s curated ear stack combines multiple sparkly, delicate pieces. It consists of two lobe piercings and an upper lobe piercing, which appear to be huggies: thick, paved with gemstones on the front, and fitting snugly around the earlobe. The first three are uniform in style. The fourth piercing is an upper lobe stud with a cluster of gemstones, followed by a small conch piercing and a single, sparkling stud on the helix. The thoughtful layering creates a harmonious, eye-catching effect that’s both modern and elegant.
How to Stack Earrings Like a Stylist
- Start with a foundation: Choose everyday huggies or classic studs as your base.
- Add dimension: Layer textured or pave hoops for subtle sparkle.
- Mix shapes: Balance round bars, cuffs, or butterfly motifs to keep the look fresh.
- Finish with detail: Add a statement piece on the lobe or cartilage for a polished edge.
“Begin with a hero piece on the lobe, like a statement hoop or bold huggies, then graduate upwards with smaller studs, huggies, and cuffs for balance,” Arwa Hassan, in-house style director at PRYA explains. “Mixing textures, pearls, cubic zirconia, and different metals, keeps the look modern. While leaving intentional gaps prevents overcrowding.”
For a polished yet effortless stack, the ‘Rule of Three’ is recommended: one hoop, one stud, and one statement earring.
With Molly-Mae leading the charge, this autumn and winter are all about elevating ear stacks with new piercings and bolder combinations. PRYA’s earring collection, from dainty crystal huggies to sculptural studs, is designed for stacking – allowing you to build your look piece by piece. Even the simplest outfit can be transformed with a considered stack of jewels.
