New fashion or randomness? Why Hadid and Shipka remind us so much of Bratz dolls
Recently, the ranking of the most beautiful women in the world was replenished with unexpected candidates. No miniature facial features, chiseled cheekbones … This is a completely new type of beauty, which, I must say, everyone is very fond of.
Until recently, we exhausted ourselves with diets and fitness in pursuit of painful thinness and harsh facial features. Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker, Angelina Jolie and Celine Dion, a little later Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman were among our star idols. From this, and the obsession with plastic and Facebook building for the first time reached its peak. But it seems that our self-criticism has come to an end. Hollywood has already captured a new beauty trend – the fashion for girls, oh-oh-very similar to Bratz dolls. By the way, recently this trend has reached Russia.
We propose to understand the trend in more detail and learn how to correctly emphasize natural data.

Bratz dolls
A series of toys that hit the shelves of American stores in 2001. Initially it included four dolls (Yasmin, Jade, Chloe, Sasha). Later, other characters appeared.
Bratz creator came up with the dolls looking at his teenage daughter. He wanted Bratz to be like teenagers, who are characterized by youthful spontaneity and the desire to become an adult as soon as possible. Hence the doll’s bright makeup and disproportionate body (short torso, long legs, large feet).
Bratz have been criticized more than once for being too sexy, but this did not stop the dolls from becoming popular.
“You may be surprised, but children look at the world differently, and they do not think about the sexuality of dolls, they rather find them just cute,” a lawyer for the toy company said in response to another attack.

How did it start?
Pamela Anderson from Lifeguards Malibu, Julia Styles from 10 Things I Hate, Cindy Crawford and her aerobics … Both in Hollywood and in the fashion business, there have always been stars who were loved by viewers precisely because of their cute cheeks. However, body positivity, self-acceptance and rejection of fasting and dieting in favor of proper nutrition, as well as the need for new and unusual faces, attracted women with non-standard beauty to the industry. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 2021 we increasingly see “girls from the next doorway” on screens and on Instagram.
It is difficult to say who exactly started the fashion for the owners of “Bratz doll heads”, distinguished by rounded facial features. We tend to believe that the first was Gigi Hadid… Yes, yes, we are talking about a girl with a round face, whose cheeks are still not believed by millions of subscribers (but in vain). It was Gigi who won the love of designers and fashion connoisseurs all over the world, proving that she does not need chiseled cheekbones to be successful in the industry.
The brightest owners of a doll face
Then there were the most beautiful girl in the world Tilan Blondo, the model Barbara Palvin, who will be remembered as one of the few Victoria’s Secret angels, far from ideal parameters, and the singer Selena Gomez, who, despite the luscious forms and “unmodel” features, became the face of the sports brand.
Kiernan Shipka from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Anya Taylor-Joy from Queen’s Move
However, even more attention to the trend was attracted by the actresses of the most striking TV series and films of recent years, whose faces are distinguished by a childish roundness. Kirnan Shipka from “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” Anya Taylor-Joy from “Queen’s Move”, Debbie Ryan from “Insatiable”, Alexa Demi from “Euphoria” – you can endlessly list your favorite heroines. And it is from them that you should learn how to correctly emphasize natural data: instead of contouring, highlight cheeks with blush, and apply glossy gloss to plump lips.
And what about us?
We already wrote above that the Bratz trend has already reached Russia. As proof, one can cite the example of Klava Koku, so popular today. Among the admirers of the work of this young singer are people of different ages, but most of all are teenagers. These are children who grew up on Bratz dolls. The barbie ideals of today’s 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds are no longer so close to them.
– With regard to trends in plastic surgery, women are divided into two camps. The first type is those who enlarge their cheekbones, remove Bisha’s lumps, emphasize the angles of the lower jaw, and, if necessary, add volume to the chin with the help of fillers or chin implants. They do rhinoplasty to keep the nose small and angular. Such women make themselves a conditional image “women dominatrix”, They usually dress differently than those who prefer rounder faces.
The latter have a different psychotype and behavior, and the presentation is more feminine. The second camp is those girls, women who prefer round faces… What makes them different?
They usually do not increase cheekbones and, accordingly, do not remove Bish’s lumps.
Noses they are not pointed, but turned up, even if they do rhinoplasty.
They do not give themselves the corners of the bottom jaws.
lips usually lush, bow.
In connection with all this, the image looks more youthful, childishly naive, cheerful and open.
That is, these are two different types of women, not only externally, but also internally. This is expressed not only in the face, but also in the style of clothing, behavior, and lifestyle.

– I notice that recently, very often in films, TV series, clips, there are many chubby girls who look like dolls. I myself adore Bratz, and my childhood was just at that period when the generation of dolls changed: instead of Barbie, long-legged, big-faced Bratz became fashionable. It seems logical and correct to me.
As for the trend, in my opinion, it came from America. Miley Cyrus in the form of “Hannah Montana” and Chloe Moretz, who mainly plays cute young girls, were popular there a long time ago. And if before everyone wanted to look older, and therefore slimmer, with pronounced facial features, now everyone is striving for a youthful appearance, characterized by a slight swelling of the cheeks.
The predominance of chubby girls with cheeks in modern TV shows and films is an emphasis on youth, adolescence and tenderness. And this is very cool!
