About
The Coquette Aesthetic Trend is a TikTok trend in which participants tie ribbons into bows around unconventional objects, including things like food, ice cubes, people and animals, often set to the Lana Del Rey song "Let The Light In." The memes and trend are inspired by the coquette girl aesthetic, which is largely tied to Lana Del Rey. The trend was popularized in December 2023.
Origin
The "coquette aesthetic" has been described by Seventeen[1] as a style of "embracing and indulging in all things romantic and beautiful, like lace, pom-poms, flushed blush, pretty hair accessories, and light colors." Yes Style[2] describes it as a celebration of "light-hearted femininity" that "also pays homage to the vintage Americana era by romanticizing nostalgic summer fashion." The aesthetic is often linked to musical artist Lana Del Rey.
