What types of phone cases do celebrities use?

Like a necklace, an earring, or a bracelet, smartphone covers can also be used to add a little something extra to your looks. They can complement the outfit or simply align with a specific aesthetic. While it's wrong to draw conclusions about someone's personality solely based on a specific accessory, many have found themselves glancing at a glittery smartphone case and instinctively judging its owner's tastes. The trend of eccentric phone covers has been brought back into the spotlight by a group of X users, sharing images on the platform featuring Marta Fascina on the phone. About a month ago, Fascina returned to the Chamber after about seven months of absence, but what stole the show was the photo on her smartphone cover—a shot depicting a young Silvio Berlusconi. A unique way to pay homage to the Knight after his passing, shedding new light on the diverse world of phone covers and their underestimated communicative power.

Usually, the most sentimental couples choose to have covers and mugs made with photos of themselves together, but the Forza Italia deputy preferred to let the radiant face of Berlusconi stand alone on her smartphone. If covers can symbolize a kind of extension of our personality, we must also mention the one used by Al Pacino, which went viral last year. A collage with different faces of Shrek, which, according to the actor's recent statements, was a gift from his daughter Julie. In an article by Page Six, Al Pacino explains that he didn't even notice what image was on the cover until Jason Momoa posted a photo on his Instagram account showing the low-quality collage featuring the green ogre.

Despite some timid attempts at resurrection, the golden era of customized phone covers has now come to an end, replaced by phone holders worn around the neck. Fortunately, the historical period in which phone covers were a symbol of self-referentiality seems to be just a bad memory. One of the celebrities who used to have fun with smartphone covers was Cara Delevingne, during the time when, for some unknown reason, there were those who felt the need to flaunt their initials on the cover, or even the full name. The British top model was a pioneer of this trend, with several shots immortalizing her with covers featuring the inscription "Cara" or "CD," followed closely by Victoria Beckham. In the vast catalog of cringe-worthy covers, we also find Kylie Jenner's avocado print case, an adolescent mistake from the pre-Botox era, along with Beyoncé's beloved leopard print pattern and the iconic Moschino case shaped like a McDonald's French fries packet, much loved by Katy Perry. Of course, there are those who want to send a social message, like Gigi Hadid, who chose her phone to raise awareness about the risks of excessive technology use: Social media harms your mental health reads the cover. We certainly hope that the cringe-worthy trend can one day come to a complete halt, but after all, it's also an indicator of self-irony.
