Ethereal fashion style is a dreamy, romantic aesthetic characterized by light, airy, and delicate elements that evoke a sense of otherworldliness and fantasy.
The ethereal style has roots in various romantic and bohemian fashion movements throughout history. It gained prominence in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, influenced by fantasy literature, pre-Raphaelite art, and the resurgence of interest in fairy tales and mystical themes. The style has been popularized by designers like Alexander McQueen, Valentino, and Elie Saab, as well as celebrities and social media influencers embracing its whimsical aesthetic.
