Ditch the slick back buns and clear lip gloss because the clean girl aesthetic is officially out, and in its place is the more glamorous more flamboyant ‘mob wife’ look.
The Soprano’s marked its 25th anniversary this week – and while the New Jersey based show might be a couple of decades old, the style of Adrianna and Carmella is more current than ever.
Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Lawrence, have all hopped on the bandwagon – and the stars have been snapped in garish designs and floor-length fur coats.
A quick glance on TikTok reveals the masses are following suit, with the public swapping their minimalist ‘fits for flashy alternatives.
Mob wife aesthetic might be a micro trend, but the scale is anything but small, and the aesthetic has been viewed over 61 million times on TikTok, with one claiming they’ve been ‘waiting since 2010’ for the trend to return.

Enthusiasts can join the internet obsession in a few simple steps, the first involves leopard print.
Pile the design on as much as possible – loud trousers, faux-fur coats, or blouses in the print will do the trick.
In addition to flashy prints, think about adding leather (or pleather), velour, and faux fur designs – with double points for fur lined cardigans or gilets.
The mob wife aesthetic also incorporates strict makeup conventions, with an emphasis on red lipstick.
Line the eyes with a sleek black eyeliner and with the addition of false lashes the look will be well underway.
When it comes to hair, the mob wife aesthetic lends itself to several styles.
Curls formed from hair rollers and a half up half down beehive do would fit the bill nicely.
Though slicked ponytails and straightened locks are also on-theme.
