As long as pop culture has existed, so too has the concept of the “It Girl.” Throughout history, a select few women have captured the attention and desire of mainstream audiences with this iconic combination of talent, charisma, and opportunity.
The phrase “It Girl” isn’t as common in the modern lexicon, but the idea behind the term is as prevalent as ever.
What qualities create an ‘It Girl’?
It can be hard to define what an It Girl is. Like any notion of cool, it’s based more on an instinctive feeling more than any rational thought. You know it when you see it.
An It Girl can come from any sector of the entertainment industry. She can be a flourishing actress (Zendaya and Florence Pugh), model (the Hadid sisters), musician (Rihanna), or the representation of a burgeoning cultural scene.
Each of these women have their own sensibilities and talents.
