Girl bosses, girl math, girl internet, girl dinners, hot girl walks, It-Girl lists. Take a quick spin around the internet or a trip to New York’s Lower East Side, and it’s impossible not to notice: Girlhood is having a moment, and everyone is talking about it. And if they’re not already dressing accordingly, they soon will be.

For spring 2024, Carolina Herrera, Nina Ricci, and Simone Rocha all debuted ultra-feminine looks marked by oversized bows. Tory Burch gave us a powder-pink hoop dress, while Maison Margiela and Altuzarra showed abundant ruffles. Corseted gowns from Christian Siriano and Alberta Ferretti trailed ribbons. Suffice it to say that the sweet aesthetic will reign supreme this spring. Even Net-a-Porter reported a 125 per cent increase in searches for pastel dresses following fashion month.
