The 'Steal Her Look' and 'Steal His Look' meme formats originated as a satire of high-fashion magazine spreads, such as those found in Vogue or GQ, which breakdown a celebrity's outfit into individual, often prohibitively expensive components. The trend gained massive traction on Tumblr and Twitter around 2014, where users began applying the clinical aesthetic of fashion journalism to absurd subjects like cartoon characters, monsters, or historical figures. By listing exorbitant prices for mundane or ridiculous items—like a 'Green Sweatshirt' for $2,000 to mimic Shrek—the meme pokes fun at the elitist nature of the fashion industry while allowing for endless creative customization across pop culture.
