Andreja‘s bejeweled piece uplifts a simple ponytail and LBD. She kept the makeup look simple, adding a well-placed highlighter to brighten up her inner eye and a touch of mascara.

RiRi’s a fashion risk-taker by nature, so it’s not surprising to see her in well…anything. She paired her look with an athletic jersey (seen here) and some face paint for the World Cup, but the ring adds a high-fashion edge to a more casual look.

Lady Gaga‘s all about theatrics, so she doused herself in some paint and posed for the camera with a spiked leather jacket on. If you’re not into the whole “painted lady” thing, a tailored leather jacket, clean makeup and a low-maintenance hairdo is a great way to exude casual toughness.

Model Eva kept it simple in a sophisticated black lacy number, killer sunnies and a subtle gold septum ring. This is a great alternative for those who are hesitant to try a more ornamental style.

Kendall went all-out with an epic nose chain at Coachella. But she kept the rest of her outfit low-key to highlight her statement jewelry. She set off the look with a simple white strapless top, a bandanna, shorts and canvas sneakers. The ring adds a dash of spice to an otherwise classic American look.

Erykah‘s horn nose ring is one for the brave. Amp up the fashion factor with bleached brows and an intense stare.
