Mai Thảo Linh’s bootcut‑jeans style sweeps social media from New York
Vietnamese MC Mai Thảo Linh, known as Lọ Lem, posted a series of photos taken while strolling in New York with her mother. The images went viral in Vietnam, drawing attention to her outfit choices, especially a pair of bootcut jeans that create a visual elongation of her legs. The bootcut cut, which narrows at the knee and flares slightly, hides most of the shoe and gives the impression of longer calves, a technique described as a “body‑hack” for height perception.
The fashion piece reflects a broader resurgence of bootcut jeans that began around 2023, a trend previously popularized by international models and celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner. Linh’s styling—combining the jeans with a red corset, a cropped jacket and a newsboy cap—has been praised for its New York‑city vibe and for showcasing the garment’s flattering effect.
