The arm cuff bracelet is set to return this summer, and worn on the bicep, not just bare arms. The arm cuff trend reappeared in 2022 on the Alberta Ferretti, Etro and Tory Burch catwalks, yet it was slow to be seen on the red carpets. We had to wait for Irina Shayk at the 2024 Met Gala to show that the jewel worn on the biceps is no longer crystallized in 2000s fashion, but rather an accessory that we will wear in summer 2024. Following years of bare shoulders and backs, followed by the focus on the legs, stylists are shifting attention to the arms. We see the arm cuff with tank tops, therefore without sleeves to show the line of the shoulders and bare arms.
Irina Shayk showed off the arm cuff on the Met Gala red carpet and also for the after party, proving that it is an extremely versatile piece in combinations: long dress first and minidress afterwards, choosing an arm bracelet to match the necklaces and chokers and bangles on her wrist. All silver, aiming for a truly new maximalist effect.

It’s not the first time you’ve seen an arm cuff bracelet worn by a celebrity: in the 2000s, red carpet looks were filled by this detail. Nicole Kidman showed up alongside her (ex) boyfriend Tom Cruise on the red carpet of Eyes Wide Shut with a bicep bracelet characterized by a gold threat that turns in a spiral and ending with two stones.

Keira Knightley also followed in this trend, who for the red carpet of Pride and Prejudice paired a burgundy shantung dress with a snake-shaped arm cuff bracelet that makes three turns around the body.

Also in the 2000s, Mary-Kate Olsen wore a stunning white dress with butterfly sleeves and just above the elbow, three bangles. A minimal outfit played on the use of bracelets. It was the era of boho-chic.

In the reawakening of boho-chic fashion, brought to the catwalk by Chloé, this jewelry will be among the favorites of those who wear this style. So how do you choose the most suitable piece? The first tip is to opt for a semi-rigid arm cuff that allows you to adapt it to the width of your arm without difficulty. Then you have to move on to the choice of shape: thin is suitable for those who want a more minimal look, while more turns give an exotic touch to the look, ideal for summer. The high cuff is for those who was to dare, attract attention with their maximalism.
