Pop culture influence on fashion and beauty trends

Overview

Pop culture trends in fashion and beauty are increasingly driven by period dramas and celebrity influence. Historical fiction has transitioned into a major engine for digital trends such as ‘Regencycore’, ‘Cottagecore’, and ‘Coquette’. Analysts have noted a ‘Bridgerton effect’, which saw a 23% surge in searches for corsets, bringing items like opera gloves and pearl-adorned headbands into mainstream use.

This influence continues through specific celebrity-driven styles. Recent trends include the ‘Elinor haircut’, popularized by Daisy Edgar-Jones, which blends Regency-era aesthetics with modern elements. Additionally, high-profile figures like Olivia Rodrigo and Hailey Bieber have contributed to the resurgence of the ‘merch cap’ trend, involving the use of branded headwear as an effortless accessory.
