How does Saweetie reinvent Halloween fashion with her “scissorhands” look?
Saweetie’s “Miss Edward Scissorhands”, look at the Halloween carnival not only stole the spotlight, but also sparked an online discussion about “how holiday dressing-ups have become cultural expressions”. Why can a nail art that is exaggerated cause such a stir in an age of “filter perfection”? Does this mean the fashion industry has redefined the standard of beauty?
Temeka Jackson, Saweetie’s manicurist, created for her super-long nails, inlaid rhinestones and shaped as scissors, perfectly replicating “Edward Scissorhands”. Social media discussions about “holiday dressing-ups” have increased by 45%. Is this trend saying that holiday dress-ups have become more than just entertainment?
Saweetie posted a Halloween video on Instagram with the caption, “Are these long for you?” The video became very popular. User-generated content (UGC), related to holiday dresses-ups, increased by 52% during Halloween 2023. Celebrities’ influence in promoting holiday dressing-up trends increased to 78%. When Saweetie tells stories with her nails, does she blur the line between “holiday dresses-ups”and “daily style”?
When Saweetie challenges traditional holiday dress-up rules with the “scissors hand” look she is not just putting on make-up, but also declaring the power of fashion in its ability to help you stand out.
“When nail arts are no longer just nail art but your way of communicating with the world, fashion truly begins. “
