The coquette aesthetic is a fashion trend that exalts the femininity medium of the use of clothes with laces, flounces, pastel colors and bows.[1]
Significance and History[edit]
The word comes from the French word "coquette". The start of this aesthetic palabra viene del francés "coqueta". The beginning of this aesthetic in principle dates back to TikTok around 2022.[2]
This aesthetic can be understood like a childhood reminiscence and a manifestation that strong women can also see themselves as feminine, delicate and innocent, moving away from the previous stereotype that female empowerment leads to masculinization. Simultaneously, the coquette aesthetic seeks to defend defend femininity without sexualization. It is about celebrating all the things that were once a source of ridicule or demonized. Just as it happened in later times to the French Revolution, when society condemned maximalism and the exaltation of the femenine colthing of María Antonieta to move on to silhouettes closer to men's fashion, the same thing happens with the coquette aesthetic, that moves away from the power suit of the 1980s[3] and the newest aesthetics of oversize, tomboy core and military core.[1]
The coquette aesthetic is closer to balletcore, cottagecore and the princesscore, but should not be mistaken with these, despite how they all share hyperfemininity.
Critics[edit]
The coquette aesthetic is critiqued for reproducing damaging gender roles for women and because of their appeal for the male gaze. Synchronously, It is said that Internet images related to this aesthetic are almost always of thin, light-skinned women, which excludes women with less hegemonic characteristics. Actually, there are those who consider that this type of outfit could result suggestive for pedophiles.[4] Faced with these criticisms, other positions affirm that the use of bun, laces and pink-colored clothing should not assume a revictimization for women and these aesthetics are not responsiblefor misogynistic agressions.[5]Similarly, there are people who consider that these aesthetics can be understood from a disruptive non-heteronormative interpretation.
References in Art[edit]
Among the artistic references of the coquette style we can mention: the novels of Jane Austen and the Brönte Sisters, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, the movie María Antonieta by Sofia Coppola[6] and the recent Barbie movie.[7] In addition, the inspirations of the Victoriana Era and the Rococó are evident.
The American singer, Lana Del Rey, is also considered as an icon of this aesthetic.[8]
