Why bedazzling is back

After years of minimalism, maximalism has returned. Pinterest named “Glamoratti” — bold, 1980s-style glamour — one of its predicted trends for 2026 (Pinterest Predicts 2026). Fortune describes Gen Z’s bedazzling as a new “lipstick index”: a small, affordable treat in uncertain times (Fortune, 28 Aug 2026). A pack of gem stickers costs little and changes almost anything, which is a big part of the appeal.

The word itself is changing too: Yahoo Lifestyle reports that younger fans call it gem-maxxing or whimsymaxxing (Yahoo Lifestyle, 8 Sep 2026).
