Pinterest predicted 2025 would be the year of ultra-femme fits inspired by the Baroque period’s Rococo style (think corsets, pearl choker stacks and embellishments with a flair for the dramatic), and here we are.

Three months in, and minimalism? Never heard of her. Designers are ditching quiet luxury for loud looks, and this time, the vibe hits a little different than the one in Bach’s day.

On the runway, ruffles are running the show, silencing stiff, disc-shaped collars. Dior and Valentino went frill-forward, while red carpets are practically swishing with 3D glam. Celebs like Miley and Sabrina are giving the texture treatment a rockstar edge — shag, fringe, flounce, all of it.

Kaia Gerber’s Vanity Fair Oscars look lives rent free in our collective brain. Olivia Rodrigo’s puffed-up mini is a flirty nod to 17th-century couture (but make it Gen Z). Even sneakers are getting in on the Rococo revival scene — adidas just teased a pink, ruffle-trimmed Gazelle that says fashion plate meets footnote.

Streetwear, eveningwear, casual brunch fits — ruffles are everywhere, and they’re not just a statement, they’re a conversation. Time to lean into your frill era.

Now cue the curls and click “add to cart.” Here’s how to rococo IRL.
