‘Ballet-Slipper Lips’ Are the Nostalgic Trend That Will Be Everywhere This Spring

Pamela Anderson.

The Y2K revival shows no sign of slowing down, and the latest trend to emerge, "ballet-slipper lips", is as wearable as it is pretty. It's as it sounds: a creamy, frosted pale pink lip, reminiscent of Pamela Anderson's 90s make-up—but Kim Kardashian was also partial to a pared-down version of the look in early episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Her favourite product for this was M.A.C's Angel Frost lipstick, which you can still buy today.

In fact, various creators on TikTok have been going viral trying out this trend. Most US-based influencers gush over L’Oréal’s Colour Riche Lipstick in Ballerina Shoes, which, sadly, isn't available in the UK—but don't fret: there are lots of good alternatives, and surprisingly, you can wear this look in many ways, depending on how dramatic you want to go.
