A great wind of change is brewing in fashion and beauty according to TikTok. Get out of the “clean girl” look and say hello to the “Mafia Wife” style.
If you like to keep up with new trends on the popular social network, chances are you’ve seen a few videos featuring this “mob wife” look, a complete 180-degree turn from what was trending in 2023.
What does the “Mafia Woman” look like?
Forget the “make-up no make-up look”, discreet jewelry and a beige yoga set as a uniform. The “Mob Wife” trend is quite extreme. Puffy mane, bright red lips, very tanned complexion, fur coat; you just have to dress like the women in The Sopranos for example.
“Mob Wife” style is all about nothing. To succeed, you first have to dive into trends such as Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber.
If you think you’re ready for this scary trend, here’s how to adopt it:
Hair
The bigger the better. Puffy hair is the signature of a mobster’s wife. To do this, you need to make sure you have a good hair dryer if you excel in the art of styling. Otherwise, you can very well use heated rollers. We finish with lots of hairspray!

Makeup
Take out the tanner, the complexion of the “Mafia woman” is dark. For the lips, we opt for blood red or even a shade of matte brown lipstick. The lip contour pencil is also back in force and we’re not skimping. For the eyes, it’s the “smokey eye” that fits the trend best. What is important in all this is that the make-up does not have to be perfect, in contrast to the “clean girl” look.
