Just like tattoos, piercings are another form of self-expression. And while you may often see your favorite actors rocking their body jewelry on the red carpet, it doesn’t mean you’ll always see it in their film or TV roles. Here are 15 actors who have (or had) piercings during their careers:
1.
To start, Cynthia Erivo is known for her iconic septum piercing and earring stacks.
While Wicked was in production, Erivo went to great lengths to transform into Elphaba. She not only wore green full-body makeup, but she also had prosthetic ears so she could keep her earrings in on shoot days.
2.
Florence Pugh has been seen with a bull ring and various ear piercings while strolling the red carpet.
But Pugh’s nose ring was nowhere to be found during her role as a ’50s housewife in Don’t Worry Darling.
3.
Johnny Depp keeps his earlobes accessorized with just the perfect amount of bling.
He took every earring out for his role as bank robber John Dillinger in Public Enemies.
Johansson kept her ears bare while appearing in Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme.
He kept his earrings for The Hunger Games, but left his nose rings at home.
6.
Bella Thorne has numerous ear piercings to go with her septum ring.
But you won’t find her nose pierced in Assassination Nation.
7.
For the 2019 Met Gala, Harry Styles pierced his ear to complete his red carpet look.
But his clean-cut role in Don’t Worry Darling fooled us all into believing he never had a piercing.
8.
In 2024, Keke Palmer debuted her septum ring at a pre-Grammys gala.
Although you’d never know about that piercing since she typically looks like this onscreen.
9.
Cara Delevingne made headlines for this edgy lip ring in 2015. While her ears are pierced, the lip ring ended up being a cuff, making it the perfect solution for anyone who’s not ready to commit to the look.
Here’s what she looks like without the lip cuff during an episode of Only Murders in the Building.
10.
In the early ’00s, Christina Aguilera had several body piercings, including her nose, lip, and ears.
The singer’s facial piercings never hit the stage when she appeared in Burlesque.
11.
Zoë Kravitz has multiple piercings on her earlobe, along with her tragus and daith.
Her earrings were minimal when she appeared as Leta Lestrange in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
12.
Miley Cyrus is another celeb who loves to accessorize with an array of earrings.
In Season 5 of Black Mirror, she portrayed a pink-haired pop star (with a lot fewer jewelry pieces).
13.
Jennifer Lawrence’s statement-making ear accessories prove diamonds really are a girl’s best friend.
She took out her extra gems and opted for a classic pair for her role in Joy.
14.
Rewind to the late ’90s and you’ll find Tyrese Gibson with his bottom lip pierced.
By the early ’00s, his lip piercing was nowhere in sight when he appeared in 2 Fast 2 Furious.
15.
Finally, Machine Gun Kelly has all sorts of piercings from his ears to his nose.
He swapped out his piercings for a classic gunslinger look when he appeared in the Western movie The Last Son.
