[[One-Winged Angel]]s aside (except those that involve the [[Bishonen Line]]), everything can be a cute girl.
The '''Elegant Gothic Lolita''' wears an outfit that makes her look like a Victorian doll: the main feature is a petticoat or crinoline with a bell-shaped or A-line skirt, plus a blouse with long sleeves, with [[Pimped-Out Dress|
[[wikipedia:Gothic lolita|Gothic lolita is actually a sub-style]] of the [[wikipedia:Lolita fashion|"lolita" subculture in Japan]] based on dressing in EGL as fashion, not costume. The specific [[Trope Namer]] is Mana, a [[Visual Kei]] artist, who uses "Elegant Gothic Lolita" to refer to his own brand of clothing, Moi-Meme-Moitie. So referring to lolita clothing as EGL is [[Brand Name Takeover|like saying "I'm going to play Nintendo" when referring to video games]]. "Gothic Lolita" is also referred to as "gothic ''and'' lolita", "GothLoli" (''gosurori''), or "loligoth." Western [[Goth]] fashion is referred to as "goth punk" in Japan. A list of the most prominent sub-styles of lolita fashion can be found [http://lolita-handbook.livejournal.com/3035.html#cutid1 here].
