Since last autumn, the term “cherry mocha” has emerged as a significant trend in the beauty sector, symbolizing a specific palette of rich burgundy hair shades and vibrant deep brown nail polishes infused with warm cherry red undertones.
This year, the “cherry mocha” trend has evolved considerably, with TikTok showcasing over 1,800 videos under the hashtag #CherryMocha. This trend encompasses a full glam and fashion aesthetic that is rapidly gaining traction. Luxury brands such as Gucci and House of CB have launched collections prominently featuring this captivating hue.
With this shift, the archetype of the “cherry mocha” girl for winter 2024/25 has emerged, signaling a transition from the previous “cherry girl” summer looks.
The “Cherry Mocha” Girl
Distinct from the bright tones associated with “cherry girl” summer, the winter’s “cherry mocha” aesthetic leans towards deeper, sultry burgundy shades that can be both opaque and sheer. This makeup and fashion trend includes a wide array of looks, from manicures to outfits and accessories.
According to fashion influencer Delaney Childs, the essence of a “cherry mocha girl” embodies a moody and chic personality suited for the cold months. “The looks are rich, decadent, and a bit romantic, resonating with the quintessential colors of fall and winter,” she explains.
Noteworthy examples of this trend can be seen with supermodel Jasmine Tookes, who epitomized the cherry mocha aesthetic in Paris last October. She showcased the complete look with a dress, stiletto heels, an elegant purse, a polished manicure, and glossy lips. Similarly, Hailey Bieber donned a luxurious cherry mocha dress for her birthday celebration, complemented by matching nails. The rising popularity of phrases like “gothic romance” and “dark coquette” on Google Trends further indicates a growing fascination with darker, more vampy styles.
Hello, Dark Cherry-Tinted Lips
This season, cherry-tinted lips have dominated beauty trends, making appearances on runways, including that of Weiderhoeft during New York Fashion Week in September. Influential figures such as Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Elsa Hosk, and Jess Hunt have all been seen sporting this rich lip color.
“The iconic cherry mocha lip represents my take on the new clean girl aesthetic but with a monochromatic flair,” states beauty influencer Karen Gonzalez. Makeup artists are also predicting this lip color will be a major highlight for upcoming fall and winter looks.
“A minimalistic approach with a striking deep lip color will be very trendy,” observes Nashville-based makeup artist Emily Gray. Similarly, celebrity makeup artist Tobi Henney confirms that vampy lips are making a comeback.
