Style Analysis: Why Mean Girls Wear Pink | Psychology of Fashion

[@marikkelaszlo3355]

As a Filipino, this analysis is actually pretty interesting because in Filipino culture that's seen in our movies and TV shows, femininity isn't demonized in movies the way American cultures do it, instead, a sexist trope that comes to play in our culture is that the sexy, "slutty-dressed" character is shown as the mean girl while the traditional, feminine-but-conservatively dressed girl is shown as the "good girl." It's pretty interesting to see how the U.S. stereotypes any girly girl character as being mean while in the Philippines, the sexy-dressed girls are portrayed as bitchy.

Same here, in Indonesia! The evil women stereotype in sinetrons (soap operas) are usually depicted wearing feminine, revealing, and/or expensive clothing. It kind of screams slut-shaming and misogyny to me, blargh blargh blargh.

Cher wasn't a Mean Girl. She was nice rich girl who loved helping people. Tai, Her Father and Her Teachers.

[@annacarollina7703]

i think the point is that she's coded as a mean girl visually (girly and into fashion) but is shown throughout the story to be a layered character with flaws and qualities sort of how elle woods is

[@michonnewalker4246]

@@annacarollina7703 Okay. But Cher wouldn't last one second in room with Heather Chandler, Regina George, Chanel Oberlin or Courtney Shayne. Cher is too sweet they would make her cry

[@walqqr1]

​@@michonnewalker4246 omg imagine all those mean girls in one room, they'd want to destroy each other, idk who would win

[@michonnewalker4246]

​@@walqqr1It would be a world war in the room. And Cher would be crying for days

[@xoxosisihere]

This reminds me of Isabella from Encanto who wears pink and is mean to her younger sister Mirabel. She is under tremendous pressure as the golden child and performs conventional femininity very well, but only breaks out of the

💕On wednesdays, we wear pink💕

On Wednesday I don't go to college 😂

The bimbo effect can certainly apply to men…call it the “himbo effect.” 😂

[@nikemaraje5]

But men are never criticized for being himbos

[@MegaMilenche]

@@nikemaraje5 Women actually prefer dumb men, so that they have all the power in the relationship.

[@en2336]

@@MegaMilenche The same can be said for men

[@MegaMilenche]

@@en2336 Hmm, I am not going to dispute that. Bottom line, it does depend on person's core character.

[@queenofparadise5067]

can you do a style analyse on Sharpay. She has always been so overlooked

[@loverofbabystarcandy]

Omg Michelle I just love the effort you constantly put on your videos to make it understandable & enjoyable I really love watching your videos and learning new things Thank you so much Michelle 💜

[@HaHaHaLMFAOtv]

I love the message at the end 😊 I know that more bold and glam suits me the best and I feel best wearing it. Yet, I don't wear it but instead diminish myself just to fit in better 🙄 I try to stop doing it

[@Ines_Ella]

Your channel is my #1 to go for whenever I'm doing my weekly girl therapy 🚿🧼💅🏻 at home Amazing Inspiring Girly Content ♀️🌸💕😘

[@SarahJeanisme]

I like the balance of images and shots of you presenting in person. It worked really well :)

[@Rubik_Bee]

Great content I am a new subscriber love your videos. Can you do a Style Analysis of the following :) 1. Amal Clooney 2. Lisa Bonet 3. Keira Knightley 4. Monica Bellucci 5. Dorothy Dandridge

[@MELLMAO]

You remind me of that doll from Megan, which makes it perfect for this topic. I love this style, yet hesitate to wear it as much as I'd like bcs this stereotype of dumb/mean girl is so pervasive in society

[@justicelovely808]

Amazing analysis! I personnaly like taking notes when I watch, because you make very good points that I want to remember.💗💗💗

[@Myllkka]

Allowing myself to wear pink has been healing 🩷 also, I believe pink will raise in popularity after Barbie

[@danahashhash3616]

This content is stunning and incredibly deep. Michelle, you are the Standard!❤❤❤

[@emile20]

I love these new sit down videos! So informative and thought proviking

[@Enjemnsnens]

I love love love these types of videos!! No one else does them, and if they did I highly doubt they’d do it better. Thank u!!!

[@greenleafgreyeye]

I love the creator so much, you deserve more subscribers, this is so good in art, i am learning a lot about the importance of clothing designs and make up in movies, the whole character design. This channel expands my imagination, one of my favorites now.

[@CleverAndChic]

I’m beyond flattered and so happy the videos can be helpful to you! Thank you so much 🖤

[@sweetsnejinka9411]

This is brilliant. I never noticed any of these nuances.

[@yolandamoran8712]

Great video but why is Cher's outfit photoshopped to be pink in the thumbnail lol

[@nikkil764]

Clothing has always been a form of communication whether it is the severe business suit, the feminine floral dress, or athleisure.

[@YonekuniKyuhyun]

but why are you so cute!!?!??! aaaaa it feels like listening to a best friend educate us. Thank you for all this effort you always give us!!! We'll be always rooting for you!!!

[@CleverAndChic]

Thank you so much, it means a lot! I appreciate you watching and your kind words 🙏🏻

[@daviidfdez2940]

Wonderful Analysis! Can't wait to see Ariana as Galinda delivering us another Iconic Blonde Mean Girl. Feel it's gonna be a mixture of Regina George with some Cher Horowitz/Elle Woods. Very similar to Stella in Winx fate saga that goes from bad because of her status & having to keep the appearances to then become good

[@sophietessier8998]

omg she's sooo pretty !!!

[@jilliane1178]

I would LOVE hearing your analysis on Park Yeon-Jin in the Netflix show The Glory

Elle was never mistaken for a mean girl….. Huh? 😂

[@NatalieMayOfficial]

I loved this video! Thanks for sharing :)

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I wasn’t expecting this video to be as good as it was. Nothing against you- but maybe KZbin in general. I subscribed. Really good analysis.

[@Bibi-fd4td]

I was able to go to sleep and then this popped up. You’re worth losing sleep over. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh, you’re too sweet! Thank you and rest well🙏🏻🖤

[@archangeljophiel2019]

Cher and Carrie Bradshaw are mean girls?

[@Tatianastarflower]

Elle Woods wasn't a mean girl...she did own her power though

[@cassidy9182]

We actually collected some pink clothes and still are but haven't worn any of them yet. No idea.

I’m a natural blonde, and when I was younger I wanted to dye my hair a darker colour because of the “dumb blonde” stereotype.

[@kooberrie]

since when have men experienced the bimbo effect...? regardless of how they look, they are always taken seriously

[@CleverAndChic]

I didn’t delve into it as this is a KZbin video and I can only cover so much, but men will be treated differently because of their perceived traits too. It is less common the effect occurs for them and they don’t carry the same double edge sword that women do when it comes to the effect. My apologies if I articulated that a bit poorly, hopefully this makes sense!

[@silvasilvasilva]

Certainly not "regardless of how they look". Everyone judges everyone by appearances and we are all aware of it when we present ourselves.The difference is that the range of acceptable clothing and colours is a lot narrower for men, so there's less room to get it wrong. Still, no man who wants a traditional corporate job will show up for an interview in bermudas or in a pink and green suit, because they know they won't be taken seriously.

Pin me pretty please!

I maybe late but truly love and respect the knowledge you have as someone who is new to style 🤍🪬✨
