The trend is so popular that the director of “The Godfather,” Francis Ford Coppola, decided to comment on it.
“I hear the ‘mob wife aesthetic’ is making a come back… The inspiration for the style of @diane_keaton’s character Kay was my wonderful wife Eleanor. On the other hand, the style of Talia Shire’s character. Connie Corleone, was a sultry, delightful Italian princess,” he captioned images of the two characters.
Some TIkTokkers are speculating that the trend is popping up just in time for the 25th anniversary of the mob-style show, “The Sopranos,” debut, The New York Times reports. According to the publication, HBO spokesperson Jason Mulderig took no credit for it.
