If we talk about It Girls, several names immediately appear in our mind: Paris Hilton, Nichole Richie and Lindsay Lohan, symbols of luxury and excess, but also Alexa Chung, Edie Sedgwick, Marisa Berenson, more classic and minimal. But what defines an it girl? The word was coined in the 1990s by Elinor Glyn in the book “It and Other Stories,” in which she talks about the actress Clara Bow. We are not so much talking about outward beauty but about a magnetism that goes beyond it. The it girl gives off an inner charm dictated by both her looks and her personality, sticking in everyone’s mind. They often do not have a job, or rather, it is not known what job they do. Mystery is an integral part of their charm.
What about the It Boys, however, do they exist? Actually, not officially for now… But there’s someone close to it. Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, Bad Bunny, Troye Sivan, Manu Rios are definitely the leading candidates, although they all lack the mystery feature…
For you, who could the It Boys be?
