Circuses and circus girls have always been a part of our culture. Who knew that a fun, family festival would become such a big trend in fashion and music today? Especially with the circus girl. The circus girl is whimsical and unique. She pairs odd-matching colors with knee-high stockings, bows, and ruffles. She looks innocent but could probably breathe fire if she wanted to. Circus girls can either do acrobatics, be an assistant to a magician, ride on a unicorn, or become the ringleader. Even if you don’t know how to perform, you can strike up your own look!

Pop singers Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Pink made the circus trend hot.
