It's time to hike up our skirts, show some skin, and dance the Charleston—because there's a new line inspired by an enduring queen symbol that has us all chanting "boop oop a doop." We're talking about Betty Boop, of course—the venerated animated character who has graced screens big and small over the years, evolving with the times while maintaining her status as an icon of femininity. Now SHEIN , the trend-based retailer known for serving bold and daring looks, has tapped the diminutive wide-eyed diva for a range of dresses, separates, and accessories.
For the uninitiated, Ms. Boop made her debut in 1930, her appearance modeled after that of the flappers of the Jazz Age. This means her frame is small, her hair short and curled, her lashes long, and her lips bow-shaped.
The character's 'fit consists of a short, form-fitting dress (usually in black or a striking red), accessorized with heels, hoop earrings, and a garter belt. She exudes a coquettish attitude—but all the while represents female empowerment—dressing for her own pleasure rather than the male gaze. It's no wonder that her persona has continued to be embraced through the decades: She's the embodiment of rizz.
The collection truly offers something for all, including unisex, girls, tweens, and a stunning variety of accessories. Designed to share with everyone, it features items like stickers, makeup accessories, sweatshirts, and more. The new SHEIN collection has captured the essence of Betty Boop for the mod.
