The New York Times says so, in today's Style article, and I hope it's true.
The author cites Gaga's huge Schiaparelli dove brooch at President Biden's inauguration, as well as multiple male celebrities wearing brooches on red carpets in recent months.
A quote from the article: "Rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces necessarily interact with fingers, earlobes, wrists and throat, posing limitations on the jeweler. But “a brooch is independent of the body,” said Lori Ettlinger Gross, a jewelry historian in New York. Like a painting or sculpture, it’s a nonverbal statement, a small sandwich board — as the brooch-wearing diplomat Madeleine Albright has repeatedly demonstrated, strategically wielding pieces from her sizable collection first as ambassador to the United Nations and then as secretary of state.
She wore a giant bug pin after Russians were caught eavesdropping on the State Department, and an arrow-like pin when renegotiating the Antiballistic Missile Treaty. Asked by the foreign minister if it was a missile interceptor, her response was, “Yes. We make them very small.”
And that was before the age of social media. As Kristen Ingersoll, a stylist in New York, succinctly put it, “these days, a brooch is better than a tweet.”
