15 Nails That Define the Look- the Ultra-girly Coquette Aesthetic
The coquette aesthetic is a fashion trend that includes bows and other accessories, and has been popularized on TikTok. The trend is characterized by a pastel color palette, bows and a youthful, hyper-feminine style. It's influenced by Japanese kawaii culture, Degas paintings, Marie Antoinette, and the Regency period.
This is not the first time we've seen coquette, or even an aestheticisation of "cute". Brands like Sandy Liang, Miu Miu, Shushu/tong and Selkie have been embracing coquette-esque elements far longer than coquette has had a name. John Galliano has also been known to showcase versions of this trend in his work since as early as his "Fallen Angels" collection in 1986, with puff sleeves, empire waists, and lace detail. And the same late baroque influence that inspires some of coquette has found its way to Vivienne Westwood pieces for decades, notably in her 1995 Vive la Coquette collection. More recently designers including Molly Goddard, Simone Rocha and Sandy Liang have embraced the look.
