‘Coquette’ Trend: What It’s All About & Celebrities Embracing It
In this trend, women are encouraged to show their feminine side
Social media, especially TikTok, has become a hot spot for trends, and one that’s catching on among Gen Z is all about fashion and embracing a ‘coquette’ style. This trend also carries a hint of nostalgia for the good old days. In this trend, women are encouraged to show their feminine side by adding things like hair bows, frilly dresses, lace, and soft pastel colors to their outfits. It’s all about creating a look that’s cute and delicate, with a touch of sensuality. Fabrics like satin and tulle play a big part in achieving this vibe.
This style takes inspiration from classical ballet and the fashion of the 18th century, kind of like what we’ve seen in shows like Bridgerton. The word ‘coquette’ itself comes from French and emphasizes its flirtatious nature. After the pandemic, artists like Lana Del Rey and Ariana Grande, along with characters like Natalie Portman in Black Swan or Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette, have influenced this new wave of refined femininity.
Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo is totally nailing this trend. She’s taken bows beyond just a cute hair accessory and made them a statement. She can pull off both the innocent and provocateur looks at the same time. She started rocking this style back in 2021, and it’s still going strong.
Kenia Os
Mexican singer Kenia Os has been following a coquettish aesthetic for some time, and she has emphasized it even more in her latest music video for the collaboration «Bobo» with Álvaro Díaz.
Lana del Rey
Kim Kardashian knows how to give people what they want, and she’s jumped on the ‘coquette’ trend by adding it to her lingerie collection. Check out her Valentine’s Day campaign featuring Lana del Rey – it’s all about pink and bows. However, it’s worth noting that Lana has always had that sensual yet delicate and feminine vibe.
Emilia Mernes
Emilia is another artist who consistently expresses her feminine side, which is equally powerful and strong.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande is another coquette queen. She’s always been into bows, not just in her hair but as part of her whole fashion game. On her beauty brand’s first anniversary, she dropped an outfit that’s probably been copied by coquette enthusiasts everywhere.

Hailey Bieber, married to Justin Bieber, is all about staying on-trend. When coquette became a thing, she adorned her hair with pink bows and even used pastel makeup in her look.
Jennie Kim
K-Pop stars are no strangers to the coquette trend, and Jennie from Blackpink is no exception. Bows and ribbons are staples in their outfits, fitting right in with South Korea’s idea of ultra-femininity.
