Who are space cowgirls and how did this fashionable aesthetic come about

Tiktok captured a new trend, which was called space cowgirl ("space cowgirl"). Girls dress up in costumes that combine country style with bright, futuristic motifs. They complement their images with bright, unearthly makeup. How did this unusual style appear and why is its aesthetics breaking popularity records?

The first space cowgirl appeared in the USA in 2020. These girls revived the "western" style popular in the 90s and supplemented it with cosmic motifs. Cowboy hats and boots were combined with neon clothes and unusual accessories. Many also used things with a metallic sheen or even mirrored ones.

Initially, it was assumed that the space cowgirl style was exclusively female. But very soon the first "space cowboys" appeared. Among the brightest guys, fans of the new fashion, can be called rapper Lil Nas X and pop artist Harry Styles.

Many are sure that the heroine of the youth series "Euphoria" Cassie Howard is at the origins of the aesthetics of "space cowboys". She glued the cowboy image of Alabama Whitman from the movie "True Love". Now the space cowgirl fashion has gone viral and tiktok is overflowing with girls in similar images. Some bloggers even conduct master classes, teaching how to dress properly and apply makeup.

It is easy to notice that the main difference between the "space cowboy" and the usual one is in the love of shiny and neon things. As a basis for the image, a cowboy hat, trousers or a mini-skirt with a "cow print", cowboy boots are suitable. The upper part can be dressed in a short top or bodice. The bravest are dressed in shocking cut-out trousers and have a great success.

A bright boa is thrown around the neck or a handkerchief is tied. If the costume is selected for a themed party, it does not hurt to supplement it with pistols shooting soap bubbles. The makeup of space cowgirl is also special. Arrows, an abundance of sequins and glitter on cheeks and eyelids are held in high esteem.

We can confidently say that space cowgirl is a new interpretation of the country style of the 90s. Modern youth discovered it for themselves and upgraded it a little to show something new and unusual.
