Explaining yet another core soon to take over your Pinterest.

A definitive offshoot of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-style-balletcore-trend-ballet-flats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balletcore</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-is-cottage-core-popular-instagram-aesthetic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cottagecore</a>, and several other cores, Dollcore is the latest aesthetic taking over our feeds. Inspired by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/hime-hair-cut-tiktok-japanese-gen-z" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japanese</a> dolls from past and present, this trend centers on idyllic <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chloe-fall-winter-2023-collection-looks-runway-photos-gabriela-hearst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">femininity</a>. Think sheer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/easter-inspired-pastel-makeup-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pastel</a> layers, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lace-fashion-history-symbol-lingerie-chanel-fendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lace</a> frills, empire-waisted dresses, and our favorite trend of 2023&mdash;ribbon bows. Juxtaposing the otherwise dainty attire is some sort of platform <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sneakers-fall-winter-2021-runways-trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chunky</a> shoe, typically adorned with jeweled chains and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pearls-jewelry-2022-fashion-trend-nails-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pearls</a>. If you think this sounds an awful lot like the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-style-coquette-aesthetic-tiktok-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coquette</a> aesthetic, you&rsquo;re correct. What differentiates this similarly <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/new-romantic-comedies-to-watch-in-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">romantic</a> trend from closely-related others is its ultra-specific <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/underpainting-tiktok-beauty-contour-makeup-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">makeup</a>.
Dollcore beauty emphasizes widening the eyes, accomplished via fluttering butterfly <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-mascaras-summer-2021-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lashes</a> and under-eye <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/purple-eyeshadow-beauty-trend-rihanna-dua-lipa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shadow</a>. Heavy <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-apply-blush-face-shape" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blush</a> is another must. Despite these continuities, no two looks are the same. One might include <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/freckles-what-you-need-to-know-before-switching-from-insta-filter-to-reality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faux freckles</a>; some may incorporate facial gems; others feature both or none at all. Dollcore makeup offers limitless room for creativity, allowing the wearer to play with color palettes, ornamentation, and proportions&mdash;each dialing the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/valley-of-the-dolls-photoshoot-swarovski" target="_blank" rel="noopener">doll</a>-like look up or down.

But the aesthetic doesn&rsquo;t stop there: Dollcore, already influenced by vintage aesthetics, involves <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/azzedine-alaia-peter-lindbergh-exhibition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photography</a> and photo editing techniques. Old school film cameras, or more commonly, a new camera or app with a vintage setting, paired with soft <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/instagram-filters-internet-impact-self-acceptance-mental-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filters</a> creates a &ldquo;porcelain doll&rdquo; effect on the skin. With <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/margot-robbie-first-photo-greta-gerwig-barbie-movie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greta Gerwig</a>&rsquo;s new <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/everything-we-know-about-barbie-movie-greta-gerwig-margot-robbie-ryan-gosling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbie</a> movie releasing this July, it&rsquo;s likely that this all-encompassing aesthetic&rsquo;s popularity will only grow with our anticipation of the doll-focused flick.&nbsp;
In the meantime, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL has rounded up our favorite Dollcore examples to inspire a&nbsp;look of your own.
