A fashion trend that was popularized on TikTok in late 2023, inspired by 90s and 2000s corporate wear and luxury brands, as well as the literary trope of the femme fatale. It has a mysterious, professional and sexy appearance. The character Bayonetta is a particularly notable source of inspiration on the style, with some even referring to it as "Bayonettacore".
The fashion consists of a mostly monochrome black-white-gray palette (though beige and red are also common), with a form fitting silhouette. Fetish elements such as leather and latex clothing, harnesses, and corsets are often incorporated. Common garments of choice include button-up shirts, turtleneck sweaters, pencil skirts, sheer thighhighs, peacoats, blazers, dress pants, and neckties. High heels and glasses are also staples of the style.
Not all office ladies wear this fashion style, nor do all depictions of the style fall under office lady.
