Summer is officially in full swing, and aquatic animals continue to dictate our shopping habits (hello, sardines). The latest shiny sea thing to join the conversation? Dolphins. The white and pearl gray mammal has charmed its way into our hearts again thanks to — you guessed it — TikTok. The app has filtered a surge of "dolphin girl" energy on my FYP, and I'm not mad at it. The aesthetic can be interpreted in various ways, including pops of blue across bikinis and dresses, as well as beauty fads like aura nails and beach waves. And for further consideration, low-effort hairstyles from "H2O: Just Add Water" (Rikki Chadwick's braids, in particular) and even Aquamarine's playful minidresses in her namesake film are right on brand. Whether you've gotten a sudden surge of Y2K nostalgia or you're shopping for your next vacation, take a look at our picks ahead to nail dolphin girl summer. |
