Reese Witherspoon wears these earrings on repeat — get the look starting at $11
Reese Witherspoon has been spotted wearing these classic gold hoop earrings not one, not two, but three times on Instagram.
Sometimes, it's the small details that transform an outfit. Whether a statement belt around the waist of a simple dress or bold shoes paired with everyday trousers, accessories just have a way of elevating your ensemble. Actress, producer and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon knows a thing or two about that. Recently, she's been wearing chunky gold hoops on heavy rotation, pairing the jewelry with a crisp white sweater, a printed blouse and a classic button-up shirt. Witherspoon's accessory of choice this summer always makes her look elegant and put-together.
I first spotted Witherspoon wearing chunky gold hoop earrings when she announced her July book club pick on Instagram. As I looked through more of her posts, I noticed she wears these earrings a lot. She wore them in a video with her pup back in June and then again earlier this month in a sweet, inspirational video about reframing things toward the positive.

As a fellow hoop earring lover, it's not at all surprising to me that Witherspoon wears this style often. Not only are these classics a timeless design that never really goes out of style, but they're also versatile enough to complement lots of different outfits without outshining them. Chunky gold hoop earrings look just as good with a simple tee in the summer as they do with a fancy dress for a black-tie wedding or event.
Now because Witherspoon is a highly successful entertainer and businesswoman, I assume that her gold hoop earrings are the real deal and cost a pretty penny. (This pair is almost $300!) Lucky for us regular folk, achieving a similar look for less is easy; there are lots of good-quality gold-plated picks available around the web starting at just $11. Check out a few of my top finds below.
If you have sensitive ears, you'll appreciate that these Amazon stunners have a sterling silver post. The outside features 14K gold plating and there's a secure clip-top clasp in the back to ensure the earrings don't slide out.
More than 3,400 shoppers have given these earrings a perfect five-star rating. One customer called them "great earrings," adding that they have "enough weight to look and feel of good quality."
Made from 18K gold-plated stainless steel, these simple, yet stylish hoops come in a range of diameters from 20mm to 40mm. The posts are hypoallergenic and the earrings are lightweight so they won't pull on your lobes.
One person who purchased them raved, "I love these so much more than I thought I would. They are the perfect weight, not heavy and look like all my real gold jewelry. They have a classy look."
With more than 9,000 five-star ratings, these hoops are a smart buy if you're looking for an everyday earring. In addition to yellow gold plate, they're also available in rose gold plate and white gold plate, and there are several different sizes to choose from.
If you're worried about earrings weighing you down, it's worth noting that these tubes are hollow so they're very lightweight on your ear.
Who doesn't hate spending money on a nice piece of jewelry only to have it change color after a few years? The worst, right? That's why we love Ana Luisa. All of their pieces — including these chunky gold hoops — are designed to be resistant to water, heat and tarnishing, so you can wear them often without worrying the shiny gold finish will fade.
"Lovely huggy hoops," wrote a five-star reviewer. "Beautiful! They look very expensive and are easy to put on."

Available in 14K gold plated sterling silver and sterling silver, these simple hoops are ideal for anyone who prefers an understated approach. They'll still add a flash of sparkle to your outfit without getting in the way or overpowering your look.
"I just recently bought this hoop and I'm obsessed with it. It's become my everyday earring. It's super lightweight and goes with every outfit!" one customer commented. Another added, "These hoops are the perfect size. They are lightweight and the clasp is super sturdy even after months of wearing!"
If you want to splurge on jewelry that will last for years, consider this gold vermeil hoop from Mejuri. According to the product description, this earring is crafted from a "thick layer of 18K solid gold on sterling silver" so it will last longer than a gold-plated style.
Shoppers agree that these earrings are the "perfect size for everyday wear." Added one happy customer: "They elevate any outfit and look amazing with a slick back hairstyle."
