About

Rockstar Girlfriend rose on TikTok and Lemon8 across 2023-2024 as a stylistic role rather than a strict trend cycle. It plays the fantasy of dating a touring musician — wearing his oversized leather jacket, sleeping in his vintage Stones tee, smudging eyeliner that's still on from last night's gig. The wardrobe leans on cropped or oversized leather jackets, vintage band tees (Stones, Bowie, Velvet Underground, Nirvana), distressed jeans or leather miniskirts, slip dresses worn with chunky boots, layered silver jewellery, chokers and fishnet tights. Hair is bedhead waves; makeup is smudged kohl. Pamela Anderson's 1990s archive, Kate Moss's Glastonbury era and Alexa Chung's late-2000s Indie Sleaze styling are all touchstones.

Not Indie Sleaze — Rockstar Girlfriend is romantic and curated (the look someone who dates a rockstar wears); Indie Sleaze is messier party-realism photographed on flash.
