The video for Taylor Swift's latest single, Lover, is a whimsical, candy coloured, Easter egg-filled treat.

The singer moves from room to room, and look to look, in a seven-bedroom house as she sings along to the single. But one particular ensemble, worn in the pink room, truly stood out, a look which fans have said best represents her new album, also titled Lover. In the clip, Swift is wearing an all-pink outfit, accessorised with earrings by Emirati fine jewellery brand, Ruwaya.

The singer chose the earrings from the brand's Nayra collection, as identified by style blog, Taylor Swift Style.

They are feather-shaped 18-karat rose gold earrings, dotted with pink sapphires. According to the brand, they were "designed with simplicity and everyday wear in mind, as a more delicate take on Ruwaya's dramatic signature look seen in the Dujaan collection". The earrings come in a half set with a matching necklace and ring.

The earrings are matched with butterfly-printed pyjamas by Fleur du Mal, Gucci loafers and headband, a gold Misahara Jewellery bangle and Anabela Chan rings.

Ruwaya was founded in the UAE in 2015 by Fatima Al-Dhaheri, who wanted to make fine jewellery that is inspired by her Emirati heritage. The brand is named after Al-Dhaheri's great-grandmother, a "strong and smart woman".

Swift is not the first star to wear jewellery by the brand. Rihanna wore the the label's snake bracelet in April this year, Tiffany Haddish and Jenna Dewan have both worn earrings by Ruwaya, while Ariana Grande has sparkled in one of their choker necklaces.

What drives subscription retailing?

Once the domain of newspaper home deliveries, subscription model retailing has combined with e-commerce to permeate myriad products and services.

The concept has grown tremendously around the world and is forecast to thrive further, according to UnivDatos Market Insights’ report on recent and predicted trends in the sector.

The global subscription e-commerce market was valued at $13.2 billion (Dh48.5bn) in 2018. It is forecast to touch $478.2bn in 2025, and include the entertainment, fitness, food, cosmetics, baby care and fashion sectors.

The report says subscription-based services currently constitute “a small trend within e-commerce”. The US hosts almost 70 per cent of recurring plan firms, including leaders Dollar Shave Club, Hello Fresh and Netflix. Walmart and Sephora are among longer established retailers entering the space.

UnivDatos cites younger and affluent urbanites as prime subscription targets, with women currently the largest share of end-users.

That’s expected to remain unchanged until 2025, when women will represent a $246.6bn market share, owing to increasing numbers of start-ups targeting women.

Personal care and beauty occupy the largest chunk of the worldwide subscription e-commerce market, with changing lifestyles, work schedules, customisation and convenience among the chief future drivers.
