Substyle of the Month: Hime Gyaru


Starting this month, we have a very special series we would like to share with you. 

Drum roll please... 


Substyle of the Month!


You've seen some of our substyle breakdowns like onee gyaru and himekaji, right? (If not, be sure to check them out!) We thought it would be fun to take that concept and stretch it into a monthly celebration. We'll be bringing you TikToks, tutorials, galspo pics, and more! 



Who better to open a ceremony than a princess?

That's why we're starting this series off with hime gyaru! 



🦋 What is hime gyaru?

Hime gyaru translates to "princess gal" and is just that: Gals that are princesses! The substyle revolves around the concept of a princess with big beautiful hair, lots of cute flowers and bows, and an overall hyper fem vibe. Often featuring pastel colors, lace, and enough frills to fill the mote of a castle, hime gyaru is an extravagantly adorable way to wear gyaru.




Papillon model and QueenE co-leader Danielle helps introduce us to hime gyaru with some key points of the style!




🦋 Key Points


Hime Gyaru Make

1. Soft pink colors for lips
2. Big, cute shape for eyes
3. Bright pink colors for blush


Hime Gyaru Hair

1. ALWAYS big for volume and shape
2. Tiaras, hair bows, crowns, pearls, even teddy bears - anything goes for accessories
3. Usually shades of brown and blonde for color, but any color can work 


Hime Gyaru Co*des

1. Jesus Diamante, La Pafait, and Princess Melody for brand
2. Pink, white, black, and pastels for colors, floral and leopard for prints 
3. Very girly and feminine styles, dresses, tights, gloves, lots of jewelry and decorative elements (especially the shoes!) for aesthetic and vibe
