Indian jewellery has a way of travelling far beyond borders, and this time, it seems to have reached the office of Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
A recent selfie shared by Meloni has sparked a wave of reactions online after many users noticed one standout detail: a pair of traditional Indian jhumka earrings. Meloni recently posted a selfie on her social media, where she appeared in a sharply tailored winter look featuring a charcoal blazer layered over a beige knit
top.
While the outfit itself was polished and formal, it was her accessories that grabbed the internet's attention. The Italian leader was seen wearing ornate jhumkas with delicate ghungroo-style detailing, a design that immediately caught the eye of Indian users.
Along with the picture, Meloni shared a strongly worded political caption focused on propaganda, freedom and Italy's national interests. But online, many people were discussing something entirely different.
