This essay is my final thesis from my Art History course about Visual Analysis and Interpretation of media in the modern age. My paper discusses the Coquette-core aesthetic that exploded in popularity during 2023 – 2024. How do internet trends form and mould our ever-evolving idea of what it means to be a girl in the 21st century? Is donning Barbie pink on the daily just a TikTok trend, or is there more to learn from the ribbons and lace that seem to be overtaking every runway and online store?
