It girls

Buzzy social stars

It girls are women who capture public fascination at a particular moment—celebrities, socialites, or style icons who embody what's fashionable and desirable.

The term suggests someone effortlessly magnetic, setting trends rather than following them: She's one of the It girls of the New York art scene.

The singular It girl dates to 1920s Hollywood, where "it" meant sex appeal.
