The Plaza Princess trend is going viral — shop the look
Hello Upper East Siders, there’s a new aesthetic in town, and it’s been dubbed the “Plaza Princess” trend. Described on TikTok as a grown-up “Eloise at the Plaza” meets Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl, this aesthetic features items like blouses and dresses with Peter Pan collars, headbands, and Mary Janes (worn with socks of course).
The trend is being labelled as the perfect fall look, as it’s often about layering and combining wardrobe staples. But what gives it the Plaza Princess name is the more preppy, feminine, and playful way these items are styled – often adding in pearl and crystal embellished accessories, bows, and other “plaza-esque” prints and fabrics.
On Stylight, we’ve seen an increase in the following Plaza Princess pieces:
