Every Single “Brat Green” Beauty Item You Need This Summer

Charli XCX with her Brat album

I know what you’re thinking: Great, another pop culture-bred beauty aesthetic to decipher. I understand the whiplash (I say this as someone who has a career in beauty—the trend cycle can be overwhelming!), but there are some cultural moments so big that we simply must acknowledge their ability to bleed into every facet of our lives. Take Barbie, for example. How many hot pink glam moments did we encounter once the blockbuster hit the box office? And let’s not forget the chokehold Challengers had on the fashion and beauty zeitgeist—from slick, braided ponytails to pleated mini skirts, it seems everyone was in their tenniscore era.

Charli XCX’s Brat follows a similar beat, instantly capturing the masses with 15.4 million Spotify streams on its first day of release, but it’s more than an album—it’s a way of life. It’s late nights and impromptu plans. It’s overcoming bad blood and owning your confidence, perhaps clad in a slinky white tank. A far cry from the polished clean girl aesthetic, “brat” is all about feeling carefree. Incorporate some slime green into your get-up (just like Lizzo here), and you’ll really scream, “brat girl summer.”
