Are you ready to dream big, grow, and fly? A butterfly represents growth, joy, celebration, and new beginnings. This year is a great time to spread your beautiful wings and soar. The sky is the limit!
I love the striking symbol butterflies provide, and I’m taking inspiration from these beautiful creatures into 2025. This is about building a metamorphosis mindset. The caterpillar transforms into a wondrous butterfly, dressed in one-of-a-kind wings and ready to reach for new heights.
“If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies.”

Butterflies are winging their way into fashion, makeup, music, and art. The growth of this trend is an inspiring way to consider our goals and aesthetics in 2025. For those embracing the butterfly look, there are so many ways to wear your wings.
Butterfly Makeup
These butterfly makeup trends are whimsical, featuring bold coloring and a bit of shimmer.
Butterfly Eyeliner

This trending style is a versatile way to bring in butterfly shapes and colors. Allure says, “The Butterfly Eyeliner trend is the prettiest ode to Y2K beauty.”
“Your wings already exist; all you have to do is fly.”

Start off with a classic black winged eyeliner, mirroring the beauty of a butterfly’s wing. You can then achieve the look by dusting a sparkle eyeshadow shade under your lower lash line. Embrace any color you like to channel your inner butterfly. Bring in more butterfly shape and detail to match your look and personal taste.
Butterfly Lashes

As a professional dancer, I like to wear a butterfly lash look when I put on my stage makeup to perform. This trend is simple. Add an extra layer to your mascara and fan your eyelashes outward with the mascara brush to achieve this look. Feel fluttering and fabulous!
“Butterflies can’t see their wings. They can’t see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can.
Naya Rivera
People are like that as well.”
Butterfly Playlist
My butterfly playlist is one of my favorite projects so far this year. I started a new playlist on Spotify built around songs that carry the fluttering feeling and emotion of “having butterflies.”
Make your own butterfly playlist by collecting joyful songs that make you smile, giddy, excited, or just want to get up and dance! Butterflies embody everything special, vibrant life. Lift yourself up and turn on your butterfly playlist whenever you need to feel light a beautiful.
Butterflies in Fashion

Butterfly fashion is a fairytale fashion. Whimsical, resilient, and dreamy, I love seeing butterflies in life and in style. These butterfly details make me smile.
I created a fully butterfly-inspired look for my first Showstopper Magazine style of 2025. Fairytale vibes are all over this OOTD! I styled a grand satin ballgown adorned with colorful flowers perfect for a butterfly to land on. Classic gold pieces are the moment for 2025, and they add extra magic to this look. Butterfly wing hoop earrings are so versatile!
For makeup, I added butterfly eyeliner with copper glitter and fluttery mascara on my lashes. Continuing to rely on my 2025 staples, I completed the look with a neutral lip gloss and shiny highlighter.
Look out for butterflies in fashion and jewelry in style magazines and on the runway this year. These appearances are perfect for inspiring your style.
Butterfly Art

Off the dance floor, I love to find new art forms to channel my passion into. One way I do this is by painting with watercolors! Watercolors are expressive, enjoyable, carefree, and simple to get started. At first, a blank canvas can seem intimidating, but you can do it! Turn on your butterfly playlist, pick up a paintbrush, and start painting your dreams. Whether you paint butterflies or create something that captures those fluttery feelings, you can surround yourself in butterfly aesthetics.

Spread your wings and fly! Butterflies offer us a role model in growth, resilience, and unlimited potential. Let your dreams be the wings that carry you on a beautiful journey this year! You are meant to soar!
