What is the Mob Wife trend and why will it easily take root in Russia?

Trends on the Internet change one after another, and sometimes even the most careful and responsible fashionistas do not have time to follow them. There have probably never been such different trends as in 2023. And 2024 has just begun when another trend has emerged, ready to dictate its rules to us. It is no longer fashionable to be a Clean Girl on TikTok (“a clean girl” – clean, well-groomed and with a minimum amount of make-up), now the era of the Mafia Wife begins. As bloggers note: it’s not just aesthetics, it’s a lifestyle. So let’s find out who Mob Wife is and how to become one.

Mafia Wife literally translates as “Mafia’s Wife”, a Russian-speaking bandit. This is the same rich woman whose husband made his fortune illegally, but as far as we understand, she does not care about this. Confident and self-sufficient, yet impressive and beautiful. He is not used to hiding his wealth, so he shows his position in society in a special way.

This is an ideal trend for the cold season because “mafia wives” love fur coats, coats and trench coats, so we are sure that this “lifestyle” will last until the end of spring. Unlike Clean Girl, Mob Wife’s makeup may not be so neat (maybe even like yesterday): a clear lip contour, brown or red lipstick, mucous highlighted in black, smoky eyes and lots of mascara.

She then goes on to impressively choose her look: fur, leather, animal print, especially leopard print, and most importantly, more gold. Having the real thing would be a big plus, but costume jewelry will work too. Most often, Mafia Wives opt for black looks, extreme minis, high-heeled boots and sunglasses no matter what time of year or day it is. Do not forget about the manicure, here it is better to give preference to the classics: red nails or French nails. It is impossible not to notice that the Russian Bimbo seems to have “grown out” of its aesthetics, so in Russia this trend will definitely be appreciated.

We all know the typical representatives of Mob Wife from the films “The Sopranos” (Carmela Soprano and Adriana La Cerva), “Goodfellas” (Karen Hill), “Scarface” (Elvira Hancock) and “American Hustle” (Rosalyn Rosenfeld).
