How to Be the "It" Girl

Last Updated: February 20, 2023

Have you always wanted to be the girl that everyone envies? The Alison DiLaurentis, the Regina George, the Massie Block, or the Blair Waldorf of your school? Are you wondering how to catch everyone's eye and stand out in a great way? Or do you just want everyone to look up to you and realize how amazing you are? Then here's the scoop: you can easily become that by following this article! Just scroll down, and you'll be that "it" girl! You don't need to do this over the summer, you can do it anywhere, anytime, any place...

Things You Should Know

Treat yourself with love and respect, show off your true self to the world around you, and have fun being exactly who you are.
Wear designer clothes and accessories where you can, and check out high-end street shops if you have a tight budget.
Form a clique of close gal friends that you trust, be a social butterfly who is ready to hang out with everyone, and don’t be afraid to ask guys out.

Steps

1
Express yourself! Be who you want to be and don't be afraid to show off your true self! Just make sure you don't come off as overly weird or strange in any way; don't be too loud either. People don't like those who don't know how to be quiet sometimes.
2
Love being you. You can't expect people to look up to you and adore you if you don't love yourself. Treat yourself like a goddess and always give yourself the best; however, know when to stop. If you act as though you are above everyone else, you can come across as a narcissistic person and nobody wants that.

3
Have a fun and unique vibe! Make sure that you are unpredictable but make it subtle. This will attract a lot of attention from everyone and make people want to know you better.
4
Wear gorgeous clothes. This is absolutely crucial. You need to dress in a very stylish way - just like a model off vogue magazine or the Chanel runway. Try to wear as much designer brands as you can, such as Tod's, Tory Burch, Chloe, Max Mara, Michael Kors, DKNY, Max Azria, L.L.Bean, Ralph Lauren, Miss Me, True Religion and J Crew. Save the designers such as Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci for when you're a little older, because this may lead to people thinking that your clothes are knockoffs.
- If you can't afford these brands, try going to high end high street shops and find clothes that are reasonably priced but look very couture. If you still can't afford these brands, go to places that have nice clothing that is in style and your style. Go to places like Forever 21 and Zara.
5
Go all out on designer bags and jewelry. Tiffany and Co, Links of London, Wright and Teague, Pandora; anything that suits you! Remember, diamonds are a girls best friend! Try choosing finer jewelry rather than cheap $20 necklaces from Forever 21 or £10 necklaces from Topshop. As for bags, the best brands are Fendi, Ferragamo, Michael Kors, Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton. However, try to be as subtle as possible.
- Ensure that you grow a fairly large Fine Jewelry Collection and get a nice display case for it to protect it from any damage. Keep away from *shudder* Cubic Zirconia!! If your not all for the big purses, get a purse that is still a good brand but downsize them, get one that is smaller than the totes or the big fancy purses.
6
Don't be afraid to wear makeup! For most days, wear it natural but if it's a special event, wear something very elaborate and stunning. Make sure you get the best make up brands such as Chanel, Bobbi Brown, MAC, YSL and Dior because, after all, the It Girl deserves the best of the best (plus they are better for your skin compared to those cheap, toy make-up brands). Take care of your skin before applying make-up. Depending on how sensitive your skin is will also depend on how much make-up you are able to apply (before and after effects).
- If you are awful at doing make up, hire a professional make up artist instead. If you can't afford a professional, practice doing your make up and look up good tutorials on YouTube so you can get really good at it.
7
Get out and about and be a social butterfly! Hang around everyone one and make plans with them. Make sure that everyone knows who you are and you know who everyone is. You don't need to start picking members for your clique just yet though.
8
Keep away from blogs! You can read them but that's as far as it goes; do not create a blog! Some sour people may make fun of you with this.
9
Read magazines. Teen Vogue, Vogue, InStyle, Red and Grazia will give you hints, if your not quite sure what's in style and what's not.
10
Don't be afraid to ask guys out! However, don't be too easy and throw yourself at them. Make them run after you, begging for a little more of you. Whatever happens, just make sure you are not too forward! Those are the kind of people you keep well away from. Play hard to get and tease the guys that you like (again, make sure you watch out for the limitations).
11
Get good grades! If you don't already, work harder! You have to feel good about your intellect. Just don't go overboard. Getting good grades is definitely key because people know you know your stuff, teachers and other students appreciate it when a student knows what she needs to know and more.
12
Be nice, but not that nice. It's okay to be a little rough at times! It puts people in their place! Do not let mean bullies make you feel bad.
13
Create your own clique. This must consist of 2-4 other girls, excluding yourself. You must be the leader of the clique, and you may choose 2-4 of the following to be in your group: The Sweetheart, The Party Animal, The Prep, The Shy Girl, The Athletic One, The Fashion Obsessed One or The Quirky Kitsch One.
- Make sure that all of the people in your clique are pretty, intelligent and are faithful and nice to one another. These are your "best friends forever" whom you rule the school together with. These are the girls who always know what's up with you before anyone else. Make sure that no scrapes or wannabees get in though.
14
Eat healthy! The It Girl is NEVER chubby, so put that candy bar back on the shelf! Have a very healthy routine and try to get yourself into many sports in and around school. Never starve yourself.

Warnings

Don't force yourself to do things that you don't want to do. If you don't want to do a thing or two on here, don't make yourself do it. Confidence and independence is the key to all beauty.

Don't do whatever you want. There are limits to everything. Don't get into drugs or underage drinking.

Being the It Girl is important, but if forced to choose, put school first. You can resume your position later.

Don't be too mean! People will know you as the "Snobby Girl" rather than the "It Girl", and that is not what you're aiming for, is it?
