There are two trends that have emerged in 2024, born under the protection of TikTok and Instagram, which They end the era of minimalism, discretion and silent luxury (or rather the imitation of this, more affordable for all budgets). In order of appearance, it is about aesthetics ‘flirtatious‘ and the one known as ‘mob wife’which, translated, would be like ‘mafia wife’ or ‘jefaza’.
Although they are opposite styles -sweetness and finesse, and full romanticism; in the face of rotundity and intense and excessive glamour-, both share the desire to draw attention to clothing and of use more codes than just pink that characterized last summer ‘barbie phenomenon‘which imitated the ‘looks’ of the famous Mattel doll, and which the film portrayed so well.

The differences between ‘mob wife’ and ‘coquette’ are many. The duel is served, and so that you can choose which team is yours, we detail below where both styles emerged from, what characterizes them, which artists have opted for one or the other, and some tips to recreate them.
๐ ’MOB WIFE’
๐ด Origins
The trend refers to the Italian American culture in New York and New Jersey. Specifically, the wives of the big names of gangsters on the screen, such as Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco), and ‘The Sopranos’, Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone), in ‘Casino’, Karen Hill in ‘One of ours’, or even Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), in ‘The House of Gucci’. Everything indicates that the trend comes hand in hand with the rediscovery of Generation Z from the HBO television series ‘The Sopranos’, because this year, for its 25th anniversary, a condensed version has been launched for the TikTok generation, with 25-second videos per episode. It is believed that the first to bring up this concept was the TikTok user Sarah Acuriself-proclaimed CEO of this aesthetic due to her Italian-American ancestry.

Goodbye ‘less is more’. Here it is about betting on ‘more is more’, on ‘noisy luxury’. Glamor in excess. And, although the clothes play an important role, the attitude is everything. It presents an empowered, self-confident, unattainable woman who can do anything.. Transmits a strong, determined and resilient personality. Positive characteristics, although the aesthetics have also picked up criticism, such as submission from mafia women to dangerous power of their criminal husbands, and, of course, those who believe that it is at the antipodes of elegance, and see the aesthetics as tacky and in bad taste.

No fine and simple accessories. The ‘look’ has to convey opulence. Synthetic fur coats (and for spring, accessories such as bags, collars or belts that have fur), leather boots, big gold jewelry, and leopard print clothing. The hairstyle, the better long, bouffant hair so that it has volume, and the makeup, excessive, ‘eyeliner’ and red lips (matching the manicure, in the same tone, and kilometer!). Everything is finished with signature bag and glasses with logo visible from afar.
๐’COQUETTE’
๐ด Origins
Although now someone may think that this style was invented by the singer Lana del Rey and the ‘socialite Kim Kardashianfriends and collaborators in the Valentine’s Day campaign of the lingerie brand Skims, the second of them, in which the queen of sad girls has posed sensually with clothes in pink tones, soft textures and adorned with lace and bows, lots of bows, actually, the ‘coquette’ style (coquette or doll)returns cyclically to exalt the most hyperfeminine and refined aesthetic, mixing romanticism with a touch of eccentricity. One of the classic references is the novel ‘Lolita’, by Vladimir Nabokovand much later, the film ‘Marie Antoinette’, by Sofรญa Copolain 2006, as well as many cheesy heroines typical of the Manga.
