Definitions
A woman who effortlessly embodies the current cultural moment — stylish, magnetic, talked-about, and aspirational without appearing to try. An "it girl" sets trends rather than following them and seems to exist at the center of whatever cultural conversation is happening. The concept is continuously evolving.
“She's become the internet's it girl — everything she wears sells out within hours.”
