A fresh jewelry trend is gaining popularity: wearing necklaces backward. Flipping a necklace around to showcase diamonds on the back instead of the front offers a new and stylish way to wear this classic accessory. This look is versatile and can easily transition from day to night. It is especially perfect for pairing with a backless gown. Wearing a necklace backward creates a timeless yet surprising and edgy effect.
At the 2025 Oscars, actresses Michelle Yeoh and Margaret Qualley embraced this trend. They both wore back necklaces—Michelle Yeoh with a piece from Chanel High Jewelry and Margaret Qualley with one from Boucheron Fine Jewelry.
However, not every necklace can be worn backward. For the best result, the necklace should have a simple, organic clasp. This allows the front to look smooth and clean while the diamonds are displayed on the back, creating a “business in the front, party in the back” style.
Necklaces made of a continuous strand of diamonds work well. They can elegantly curve or hang down the spine. Another popular option is a Y-shaped lariat necklace, which dangles beautifully between the shoulders. Ideally, it features a diamond pendant that drips down the nape of the neck, adding a provocative and elegant touch.
