Meaning
This emoji shows a woman dressed in a classic tuxedo—the same black-tie formal wear traditionally associated with men—complete with jacket, crisp shirt, and bow tie. It's a powerful representation of gender-neutral formal fashion.
People use it to celebrate women in formal settings, from weddings (particularly brides choosing tuxedos over dresses) to award shows and corporate galas. It signals confidence, style, and breaking traditional dress codes. You'll find it in posts about female empowerment, fashion-forward choices, or simply documenting a stunning formal look.
Beyond fashion, it's become a statement emoji—representing professional women in high-stakes environments, gender equality, and personal choice. Some use it to celebrate LGBTQ+ identities and non-traditional wedding aesthetics, while others deploy it humorously when joking about "borrowing" a partner's wardrobe.
This variant arrived with Unicode Emoji 13 in 2020, reflecting modern attitudes about formal wear and identity. It's increasingly popular in wedding announcements and celebration contexts, designed to sit comfortably alongside traditional and non-traditional celebrations alike.
Common Uses
