Short shorts specifically. The possibilities were endless – denim, suede, crochet, patchwork.

3. Groupies

Disclaimer: this subject gets very icky very quickly so just know that I acknowledge it, but I won’t be talking about it because this post is about fashion.

I can see why this aesthetic is becoming more popular. It’s kind of like the black and red alternative to the pink and white bimbo aesthetic. With party girl and sleazy aesthetics becoming popular again, this aesthetic fits in perfectly, like their badass older sister. Rockstar wives/girlfriends sometimes fit the aesthetic but it’s clearly more influenced by rockstars themselves and groupies.

⚡️Bebe Buell

⚡️Sable Starr

⚡️Morgana Welch

⚡️Tawny Kitaen

4. Overlap

⚡️Juliet Simms is both a rockstar and rockstar wife. She’s married to Andy Biersack.

⚡️ Anita Pallenberg is both a groupie and a rockstar wife/girlfriend. She was married Keith Richards and dated Brian Jones.

2. Rockstar Girlfriends/Wives

The namesake of the aesthetic. I find that they usually don’t fit the aesthetic as much as others. This is because they have their own careers and personal styles that don’t rely on their partner.

⚡️ Bobbie Brown married to Warrant’s Jani Lane

⚡️ Pamela Anderson married to Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee

⚡️ Dorothea Hurley married to Jon Bon Jovi

⚡️ Valerie Bertinelli married to Eddie Van Halen

⚡️ Brandi Brandt, Sharise Neil, and Heather Locklear married to Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Tommy Lee of Motley Crue

⚡️ Pattie Boyd married to George Harrison and Eric Clapton

⚡️ Pricilla Presley married to Elvis

⚡️ Bianca Jagger married to Mick Jagger

⚡️ Marianne Faithfull

⚡️ Maria Bach married to Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach

A clarification from me, an authority on the subject. Like everything there is nuance and layers, so let’s dive into this aesthetic.

This aesthetic combines glitz, glamour, and rock & roll to create something both alluring and disheveled. The aesthetic appeals to those who desire an effortlessly cool look that offers inspiration to those around them. This aesthetic is very broad and applies to different times, places, and sub genres. I tried to include examples of variations within the aesthetic.

1. These are Rockstars.

The most egregious offense. These are the rockstars not the muses, point blank period.

⚡️ Vic DeAngelis- Måneskin

⚡️ Alejandra Villarreal - The Warning

⚡️ Taylor Momsen - The Pretty Reckless

⚡️ Grace Slick - Jefferson Airplane

⚡️Debbie Harry - Blondie

⚡️Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, and Lita Ford - The Runaways

I just needed y’all to see this.

Goddess.
