Bada bing, bada voom!

The flashy mob wives aesthetic is strong-arming fashion. First the brash style inspired by mafia dramas went viral on TikTok, then Khloé Kardashian, Dua Lipa, Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Jeff Bezos’ fiancé Lauren Sánchez muscled in on the trend. Even Hilaria Baldwin cosplayed a mafiosa, strutting city streets in a tough black leather mini skirt, fishnet stockings, T-shirt, silver moto jacket and stilettos.

Want to dress the part? Alexa studied mob muses like Drea de Matteo in “The Sopranos,” Sofia Vergara in “Griselda” and Lorraine Bracco in “Goodfellas” for you, then found the animal-print catsuit, oversized fur coat and diamond jewelry you need. We even included links to shop the wisegirl looks.

No fugazis here, they’re all designer.

Married to a good provider, Carm (Edie Falco) lives the lifestyle. In her case, it’s bada-bling, meaning lots of layered gold and diamond mom jewelry, plus a Rolex and a richly embellished top.

“The Godmother” (Sofia Vergara) looks so good in this lamé dress, it’s almost criminal. The ruthless mob-wife-turned-drug-lord kills it with a wide gold choker around her neck on the new Netflix series.

“I remember, she was screaming on the street, and I mean loud. But she looked good,” is how mob associate Henry Hill describes his future wife Karen (Lorraine Bracco). The feisty brunette was dolled up for their date – which he didn’t show for – in a red shift dress and pearls.
