Yesterday I put on a Cherry Girl outfit (a normal outfit, but with red lipstick) to go for a Hot Girl Walk (like a walk, but with a curated soundtrack). I got myself a coffee (hello to my pumpkin spice latte girls!) using Girl Math (if you get the coffee on your Pret app, it’s basically free!) and came home to make Girl Dinner (a plate of whatever is in the fridge).
I am 50 years old. I am an adult woman. But in 2023, girlhood is where the party is, and you don’t have to be young, or even female, to be invited. Megan Thee Stallion, whose 2019 song Hot Girl Summer is the international anthem of modern girldom, says her song “is basically just about women – and men – just being unapologetically them, just having a good-ass time”.
