Imagine you’re Eloise and it’s time to get dressed.

Recent years have seen TikTok overtake runways as the key information source for the fashion industry, especially when it comes to avant-garde styles. Plazacore is a great illustration of the aforementioned. The “Eloise” aesthetic, so-called after the famous fictitious inhabitant of New York’s Plaza Hotel, has gained considerable popularity.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you never buy anything new and instead stick to classics like collared shirts, tweed jackets, hair bows, and headbands. Blair Waldorf, heiress and former heiress of the Upper East Side, has returned with a more contemporary (but still preppy!) style matching her social status. Even if you didn’t enjoy the outfits in the first season of Gossip Girl, which aired more than 15 years ago (! ), the fashions in the most recent season are as stylish as they come.

But your “aesthetic” can matter in Plazacore too. Some of TikTok’s most popular stars, such as @prettylittlefawn and @thesandraduran, have really visited the location to shoot videos. Movies make for a great backdrop, but a local five-star hotel and some green screen will do just well, too.

If you’re a fan of Plazacore, you may relax knowing that the genre is getting some love from others other than the TikTok makers who have put their own spin on Eloise this season. Gather together your grandmother’s tweed coat, a pearl necklace, and a Peter Pan collar. If you try to swim upstream, you’ll find that the boat has already sailed.
