0.2 Coquette Movement



Defined by a blend of charm, femininity, and flirtatiousness, the coquette aesthetic represents a troubling intersection where youthfulness and sexuality converge. Online influencers perpetuate this trend, promoting images and behaviors that blur the lines between innocence and seduction. Young girls  are influenced by media–they learn by observing, imitating, and making behaviors their own without understanding the root and consequences of these trends.
